So I’m slowly but surely overcoming Post Partum depression/anxiety.
I’m 22 and I have an 8 month old.
Some days are good and some are bad but lately I was having pretty good days. Now all of a sudden I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and exhausted (due to not getting sleep with the baby) I’m sure it’s just my nerves and my anxiety but it makes me feel so bad. I feel like I’m 80 years old. I stay with a headache and feeling in a fog constantly. I have bad lightheaded spells. I literally feel terrible and so run down. I’m also a huge hypochondriac so the way I’m feeling makes me terrified I have a horrible disease and I’m dying or something.
It’s just hard. By the end of the day I feel so drained it’s unreal I know that’s part of being a mom, but is it really supposed to feel like this? I guess I just wanted to vent to someone who would read and see if anyone else can relate. Thank y’all!
Me again! I feel so very relatable! 22 with an 8 month old and a 2 year old😅 Same symptoms, terrible headaches all the time, dizzy, foggy, out of it.. Literally 0 energy. I’ve been taking a ton of vitamins the past two months and I’m FINALLY (the past two weeks) feeling a little better. The major anxiety seems to finally be subsiding. But I feel you girl 😭 it’s so hard especially with a baby! I just like you have been so convinced that I’m dying I’ve run back and forth to drs and I’m finally starting to believe it’s all just anxiety.
It’s awful! I’ve been taking a multi vitamin too, just to replace what I don’t get since I have no time to eat. 🙄 Lol. You are tough though I can’t imagine having a toddler and a baby! I think the lack of sleep is really playing a role. My daughter still wakes up every 4 hours. I’m hoping this will subside soon though
Yes I can relate to all of this and I’m only 19! Talk to me about anything !
Oh goodness. I’m sorry to hear that. I was 19 when I had my first panic attack, that’s when my anxiety started. Please feel free to message me. I know how you feel and if I can help that would be great. You want to get it taken care of before it gets worse!
