Anxiety
Is anyone else having this problem? Ever since having my son, my anxiety has skyrocketed. Unsure if it’s from PPA or my new birth control messing with my hormones, making the preexisting anxiety worse. Sometimes it’s over the most random things. I’ll think about, “How would I protect my child from an intruder?” or “What if they get sick?” “What if we get on a train and it crashes?” “How would I protect them from XYZ” or other things that will cause me to hyperfixate and go into an anxiety spiral. I’ll see a post about the news and go into a panic attack over the state of the world (which has been today’s panic attack trigger… especially climate change) Or sometimes I just wake up and the slightest trigger will send me into an anxiety episode. How is anyone else coping with anxiety? Especially over “what ifs” and uncertainty?
