PPD
I don’t know whether or not I have PPD.
I just feel so sad and I feel so alone and I can’t shake the feeling of having constant anxiety. Everything could be fine but my heart starts racing. Anyone else experiencing this? What should I do? I feel miserable😞

I feel the exact same, the anxiety makes me feel physically ill and it constantly feels like my heart is dropping and racing too 😭. My health visitor thinks I have postpartum anxiety and referred me for counselling which I haven’t started yet. I don’t have any advice except for please talk to someone! You could also message me if you ever feel like it 🫶🏻
Go seek help and talk to your OB/GYN or Google postpartum therapy. Lots of online therapists to help you out. I’m 4 months PP but the first 2 months was hard emotionally for me and I swear I was sad almost everyday. Now I have my first therapy appt but I really shouldn’t have waited so long thinking it’ll go away. Better to seek out help sooner.

You should talk to someone about that, your partner, midwive, OBGYN or therapist. PPD is serious and can be managed if you seek help. If you can, take frequent naps and take some “me-time”. Connect to yourself, treat yourself good and talk with someone you trust. You got this, you’re doing a great job!
