Re: Is this anxiety? Or what?
Dear eleanor,
I think it is both anxiety and overthought. For some of us it can take way longer than 8 weeks for the hormones to settle down. Pregnancy and childbirth hormone changes can wreak havoc in the mind. It can feel exactly like something is drastically amiss, but these emotions are very common for the after giving birth experience. I remember so well. For some of us it goes on longer than for others. Be patient with yourself, and also tell yourself the truth, that your body is still undergoing hormonal changes.
I think you are normal for the hormonal changes going on in your body. Try not to worry...have some good cries. Talking helps. Do you have anyone to trust these feelings with in person?
It is a huge responsibility and stress to be responsible for a baby. Hon, you seem like a responsible and normal mommy to me. I'm sure your doctor would affirm this.
