I recently had my first child back in July, a beautiful and healthy little girl. My anxiety has been on and off since I was a kid. I know how you all feel. It's a terrible feeling and lately, it has been getting in the way of me and my baby. I just can't love her the way I want because my anxiety is destroying my life. At the same time though, I don't let it bother me as much ever since I found out the fear I had was really all in my head. I still have the anxiety feelings but they're not as bad as they were a few weeks ago when I was having like 2 or more panic attacks a day. Now that I know my fear isn't real, whenever I feel panicky, I tell myself the facts and usually just goes away. My anxiety is a temporary thing. It'll bother me for a few weeks to a couple months then it'll go away like I never had it. One thing all of us suffering from anxiety need to know is that it really is all in our minds. My anxiety gets worse whenever I pay attention to the scary thoughts but when I ignore them, I feel really calm and in control. The key is to not feed the negative thoughts which I know sometime is easier said than done but once you gain control, you'll feel so much better.
