Please don’t be afraid. Your love is so astounding that you have fear of environmental hazards harming your child; not you. The water condition is terrible to go through and I’m sure pretty stressful. You’re a good mom. Focus on that and how you care for your child. Focus on making things better. Your strength comes from being a mom.

Sounds like your hormones are out of wack after having a baby. Go to the doc soon. He can give you meds. I forget what it is called, but new moms suffer from it.

I just want to parrot the sentiments of others here. Just BREATHE. Honest, if you can, try this. Take a few evenly metered, really nice full breaths in through your nose, and as your lungs fill to their capacity, gently transition to a nice, long exhale, blowing the breath out through your lips. Make it like a soft blowing, and imagine the stress in all of your muscles blowing right out of hour body with the air.

Blow a little more air out, exhaling mkre deeply than you usually do, and then transition to the next breath in through your nose gently and nice and even, then transition gently again to softly blowing ALL of that stress from every muscle in your entire being, letting it nust escape and vanish into thin air like steam does.

When I do this, I also like to close my eyes and imagine a white taper candle on a table in the middle of a dark room, and just let my mind's eye focus on that solitary flame.

I like to notice how it burns silently while producing a surprising amount of light when you think about it. It doesn't make a sound, and it seems so calm in the still air of the room, but it also sways a little from time to time, almost like it's dancing to some unheard, relaxing song.

This is one of several relaxation visualization/self hypnosis type things I have learned through the years to chill myself down when the world seems to be crushing in on me and I get to feeling like no matter what I do, my life is going to always consist of awful feelings and awful facts.

I have seen this help other people too, it the key is, it doesn't work unless you actually decode to try it for 10, 15 or 20 minutes. You have to love yourself enough to allow yourself the little bit of time needed to do things like this in an effort to feel better. It's an inside job.

I hope you keep coming around here. There are some really awesome people here, and as you can see, we DO care about one another. That includes you.
