Omg I’m the same. 8 months along and it’s the worse. Im hoping it will get easier
Yes! After mine was born I was so anxious and was scared to be alone with him as I worried about passing out and no one knowing and him being left on his own. It’s now 5 months later and I’m a lot less anxious, I don’t worry about passing out but my bee fear is getting cancer and being told il die, and I think about him being left without a mum. I’ve always had a fear of cancer, not sure why, but now I think about it all the time, constantly feeling like something bad will happen at some stage
Yep feel exactly the same. Recently I’ve had a bowel cancer scare had to have a colonoscopy all normal . Breast pain normal and now I’m hyper focused on moles
It’s horrible just wish I felt normal
Yes. I’ve had terrible health anxiety about my son and myself, since he was born. Though I also dealt with it before I had him. It’s worse now. It’s especially bad when there are health issues going on, but medical providers are either not helpful or cannot figure things out. Very scary/maddening. My PA recently said to me, “it sounds like you’re afraid of dying.” I said, no. I’m afraid of living life not being well, not feeling well, not having a good quality of life, not being able to care for my child… that’s what I’m afraid of! In my mind that’s worse than dying. Living a life of pain or suffering and not being able to be the mom I want to be. :(
Literally all the time. After having my second baby immediately I became the most anxious person, constantly worried about fainting, & my heart beating weird. But it got better as the years went on. After having my 3rd baby, my son, my anxiety has almost gone away completely. It took time. Time & constant self growth when it came to choosing myself first with sleep, eating, being active, etc.
