PPA mixed with already having anxiety and PTSD

@Madyson that is literally the worst part there’s always something new to be anxious about like can I just get a break
i know it’s so hard:( i hope it gets better but i feel like once she can walk it’ll just get worse😂😭 i just try to remind myself to breathe and be present. i found that putting reminders around the house (little notes) really have helped. just to breathe and focus on what’s happening right now. also the 5 senses trick works okay but it’s hard to do in those really intense moments. the notes on the wall help whenever because i did them in thick sharpie and they’re everywhere so i see them in the corner of my eye and so i look to read it.

last night i had a dream my daughter fell off the bed and died. i was paranoid before but now even worse. my whole pregnancy i was convinced someone was gunna break in and cut my baby out. and my OCD and anxiety has gotten worse since having her which has been hard. we went for a drive (my bf, my daughter and i) and i saw a sign on a bus shack that read “stay inside the car” and it was a skip the dishes ad or some sort of food app ad and after i saw it i couldn’t get out of my boyfriends truck with my daughter. we ended up just going back home. every two seconds im finding something else to be paranoid about:( every time me and the bf are driving with baby and we’re at a red light or stop sign im convinced someone’s gunna car jack us and take her so i lock the doors and literally scan the area until we start moving again. i feel this post on such a deep level. its gotten worse because before it was just us worrying about ourselves but now we have a whole new person to worry about.
