Here I Come

[anon99]

I’ve been in such a extremely high state of anxiety since I gave birth three weeks ago. It’s finally simmering down and the depression is coming out from behind the curtains. Which is obviously expected after having your OCD ruminate thoughts 24/7 and paranoia + isolation.

Honestly, I’d rather be depressed than anxious. But boy.. I’m feeling quite dark and empty today. Alone. I feel lifeless. Just a mind with racing thoughts inside of a meat suit walking around all day everyday on autopilot.

Hi. Thank you for your candid message. I would say that it's the hormones BUT if these feelings persist please talk to your Dr. Be careful and good to yourself. Having a baby and taking care of one is one of hardest things to do especially on the body and mind. So try to take care of yourself as much as you can. You cant give from an empty cup.

Thanks for your reply. 😊I’ve spoke with my GP already, and I’ve been prescribed a hormone to help get things back on track. But I’ve dealt with both long before pregnancy. My hormones being out of whack doesn’t help for sure. 😬

It's normal though for the hormones to be out of whack sometimes even up to 9 months after having the baby. Do you have someone to help u with the baby? Is there someone who can monitor how you are feeling? Postpardum anxiety and/or depression are real. I would hate for you to go down that road but if you are aware of your thoughts you are in a good position to be proactive about it and get the right help.
