I literally experienced exactly the same anxiety from these videos the Internet kept throwing at me. I would've been completely fine otherwise... For me, it passed after a week or so, the general anxiety is still partially there but the intensity has passed for sure. I know it's easier said than done but try to get some sleep
The bassinet is supposed to lessen SIDS go to your ob I recently experienced an ob vs a primary when it came to medication myself mind you my meds weren’t for mental health but still the extra advice will be helpful
Start putting “not interested” on that content. It can get overwhelming to see when you have anxiety. I would reschedule your appointment and be honest with your doctor then they can decide if you need it upped. As someone with anxiety I’m here to reassure you that your doctor will not think you’re crazy or take your child away for being honest about your mental health struggles. They hear these stories from PP moms all the time
Are the stories coming from a Facebook group that you could leave? I just left a mom group on Facebook because I felt like it was a little negative. I hope the owlet sock gives you some peace of mind 🩷
Also up, baby also just finally fell asleep. 😴 🫠 From a [stranger] but also a new mom, it’s not a terrible idea to reschedule that OB appointment. Not because you need them to adjust your meds, although they can! But also it’s hopefully an additional voice to say you’re doing great as a mom - even if it feels paralyzing right now at 1am. OB may even have a few additional resources/recommendations that aren’t just a pill, if you want. My coworker/mom had some serious post partum anxiety, and it’s a process to manage it. The hormones of all of this are A LOT.
