Postpartum anxiety is kicking my butt. Now they have me on meds and I have to decide if I should say screw breastfeeding so my son isn't exposed in anyway to the meds and just put him on formula so there is no risk. I feel like the worst mom ever. I wish I could pull it together.

@janet_xoxo it seems to hit hard some days and other times I feel a little like myself. The medicine helps but the second I miss a dose or something goes wrong I can feel the panic start again. I'm always fighting it. It's so scary because you never know when it will hit and you end up fearing the anxiety. How are you doing?

@mct i started taking l theanine it's a supplement for anxiety and my anxiety is fading but I get depressed and cry for no reason it's crazy because you can take care of a baby but it makes it 10xs harder and nobody understands but us. Your not the worst mom ever ur still here mama

@janet_xoxo thank you! It helps so much to talk to someone who gets it. This anxiety makes you feel so alone. It's nice to know that other people understand and that I'm really not alone!

@mct your not it's a storm and we will get through it ... I'm not a weed smoker but I do take cbd oil also it calms you down! Do whatever it takes to calm it down girl my goal is to help as many ppl I can with what I'm doing and see if others can give me advice on how to cope too! We're in this for a little soon we will snap back into reality... the main reason to stay calm and collective is cuz our baby's need us strong for the day cuz that's how we live right now a day at a time! Maybe this is a blessing in disguise so we learn to appreciate when we snap out of it!
