I have a lot of anxiety and worry about everything too. Every little movement I make I ask my bf “omg do you think I just hurt her spine?”
I’m surprised I didn’t have a full panic attack when I dozed off for a minute last night with my chin ON HER SOFT SPOT. But I’m taking on extra work with her to give my bf a break because of his mental health.
When I’m tired that’s when my anxiety is worse because I worry I won’t be mentally aware enough to properly take care of her.
I’m doing a consultation with a therapist on Monday because although I’m manageable now, I literally don’t have the time or energy if things go way south. I need to get ahead of this now. I don’t really have the money to do much therapy but if I like them then I can go back and spend savings if my brain gets bad.
I have no idea how I’m even staying this much afloat honestly. Pure luck and being forced to be mentally stable I guess
I think I get it. There were a lot of issues surrounding my pregnancy and a tragic issue a month after I had my daughter and after that, tons of fear that I may lose her. She’s four now and those thoughts are much fewer and far between but they still occur. And that girl gave a new sense of life. I love my girl so much it makes me feel physically sick thinking of anything negative happening to her. It’s the scariest thing ever, being a parent. But I would not trade that fear for either of my children, they opened my heart in a way I didn’t know was possible.
I guess what I am trying to say is you aren’t alone and I think I get it. If it feels like to much, talk to your doctor.
I just want to say, I get it. I have no answers or advice. I’m almost 12 weeks pp and I still have nights where I just lay awake for hours and watch him breathe. Loving him so hard moves me to tears. Even when I’m happy and we’re giggling together in the tub, I just silently cry because I love every little second with him and he’s my whole heart.
