PP nobody judge!

I saw this post on Facebook and I thought it’s a really good idea. I feel like this group is a safe space so if you want too, add to the comments something that been playing on your mind or you are struggling with that has been bothering you and want to get off your chest! Nobody is going to judge! I’ll go first, since giving birth my anxiety has been through the roof! I love my husband to bits and my family but I feel like I am managing them as whenever they are watching my son I get this paranoid feeling like something going to happen or I hear crying when no one is crying. So I go insane and end up having to take over which pisses of the person. For example I am currently in bed feeling like shit so my husband is doing the nights, I am literally feeling so stressed and guilty about how well our little one is going to be for him. He keeps telling me to switch off but I just can’t and when lo cries I can’t not help 😣. That’s me if anyone else wants a safe space to rant then go ahead 😊xx

Have you tried putting on a podcast to listen to and focus on? Listening in headphones may distract you from babies cries... I have to do this so I can actually switch off! X

Oh bless you, anxiety is so rubbish to deal with, add on top of that the mum guilt and it's no wonder you're stressed. I feel like this when I do anything for myself. I used to love a long soak in the bath, now I get in and I'm just listening out for boy crying or worrying that my husband is annoyed at me for taking too long so I rush it. I literally never feel relaxed, I'm always tense, my body feels broken as my neck and back are so sore. Constantly thinking about the next chore or feed or pump I have to do. It's very hard to switch off!

I can’t switch off ever! I was the same with my other two. I’m happy and I love them so much but never seem to show I’m happy with my facial expressions I’m always worried that there’s something wrong 😂 I wanna be able to be in the moment and enjoy and not worry but a lot of the time I can’t 😂 xx
