My DS is just over 3 weeks old and I can't stop crying. He's a perfect little boy. He eats, he sleeps, he is just lovely. But everything makes me upset and I cry all day long and all night long. I worry that I've injured the baby, obsessively checking for dislocated limbs, bumps on his head. I wake up screaming that I've lost the baby, or that somebody has taken him. I am in a constant state of high adrenaline and anxiety. The place is a mess. My husband keeps asking me what's wrong and why am I crying. I just have no real answer. He is concerned about me having postnatal depression. But it's just the baby blues, right? I don't want to talk to my doctor as I'm worried they'll take my baby away from me.

When do I know this isn't the baby blues but something more?
