I let my 15 month old go with her Mimi alone just down the road to the dollar general to get some bread.

I took a shower.. maybe 20 minutes passes and I’m expecting them to be home and they weren’t.

I am trying to distract myself by reading and I can’t focus. I’m thinking of all the most horrible things that could happen like a car wreck. I’m praying for protection but Im still anxious, looking at the time.

I have let her grandparents take her 1 time along and her grandpa alone for 30 minutes. So it was Mimi’s turn alone.

as soon as I heard them home..I jumped up and I told them I was worried and I don’t think I can let her go anywhere alone again

..then I break down crying right in front of them. I honestly didn’t see it coming

Afterwards I am thinking to myself are other moms still dealing with this kind of struggle

Maybe my situation is different because I am a stay at home mom but I noticed I get really worried mostly over the car and I’m not there

It was worse when she was an infant but Im slowly getting better, so I thought

* thank you for your help ladies for sharing stories and advice. I didn’t know I had postpartum anxiety
