Hospital Trip for my Baby (PTSD)

Ra

Growing up I had many trips in out of hospital over my teen years and early 20s

Lots of chronic pain.

My 8 month old daughter is spending her first night sick in hospital due to a high fever and dehydration and I am staying with her.

Even though I’m not here for myself, I cannot control the massive fits of anxiety I am getting. They are coming in on top of my stress and worries for my baby.

So I am unable to go to sleep as my mind is racing with so many thoughts of things that didn’t happen. I can’t seem to rationalise with myself that she is safe and that I am actually okay.

Is this what PTSD is? Or is this my anxiety going crazy.
