I’m not really sure where to start. I’ve done the research & I feel like I have anxiety but I don’t know who to talk to about it. Like what specific medical professional to talk to. I am about 4 months post partum. Had the baby blues for about 3 weeks but got past that. Now I’m a college student and stay at home mother of two. It’s only moderately stressful but I seriously cannot handle any amount of stress....EVER. I act like the world is ending and it is putting a bit of a strain on my marraige just because he’s so chill and he kinda acts like he thinks I’m a bit crazy because we are polar opposites when it comes to handling stress. I can’t help it though. No stress exercises I’ve tried ever helps for very long. I’ve always been this way. I’ve had hypertension since I was about 21 for no good reason but no doctor ever seemed to worry like my family thought they should. All the primary docs just waved it off and medicated it without really explaining to me what it was, the causes, or the dangers of not treating it correctly. The only doctor that’s ever seemed legit concerned is my OB from this last pregnancy. She seems to think given my otherwise healthy (albeit slightly overweight) report that something else is going on that hasn’t been looked into yet so she is sending me to a cardiologist. I’ve never considered it before but I’m wondering if anxiety is the culprit and if so, is a cardiologist the right approach? Shouldn’t I see a psychiatrist instead? Or both? How do I request this type of referral? I’ve done the research and I seem to fit the bill pretty accurately but I honestly just don’t know what to say or how to go about it. Just want to feel normal. TIA

I did have a slightly traumatic childhood due to a drug addicted mother. Went through a lot but despite it all, came out fairly normal. Lol. Other than the overstressed tendencies. I had nervous tics as a child to cope with stress like biting my fingers—the actual skin off the tips of my fingers. I still do it to my lips. Especially in times of high stress, nervousness & fear (all the time 🙄). Which would explain the high blood pressure at such a young age I guess?
@nohamcased, it’s a community college so I don’t know if they’d have that resource but I’ll definitely call to check. Thank you so much!
@mommy060817, yes I am for the first time in 8 years. I’ve considered stopping because I suspect it’s also causing a dip in my milk supply...
Are you using birth control? @flowermama9 just asking bc I have the arm implant and it has been making me EXTREMELY crazy anxious stressed angry... all the above
Oh and I just noticed you're in college! The school clinic can even prescribe you anxiety meds and Universities normally they have counseling on site for students. In my experience, very much recommend checking them out. Saved my butt, esp. without insurance!
Feel free to msg me!
You don't need a referral to see a psychiatrist. I'd start with calling some counselors in your area and most of them have a psychiatrist in the same building you can see!
I had severe anxiety as a child. Ended up having to have a small heart procedure, so it's not wrong to get looked at if you have the opportunity to! Good luck with everything mama!! Hang in there 💖
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
