Are my family being unreasonable

After having a traumatic birth in lockdown 2020 and moving into our home, I have become very anxious about everything.
Me n the partner have worked as a team to bring up a happy beautiful 1 year old.
Family have only seen her a handful of times, and some have never met her yet.
I work with the public so try n keep my distance from everyone, so me and my partner are fit and well for my daughter.
Family can very judgemental of how I look, dress, of my partner and how we are raising our child. It causes me to be anxious and now I have got to the stage that I might just cut them off completely for my sanity. Am I being selfish?

Are you sure you are not being oversensitive due to anxiety? If you see so little of them does it matter?

Are you doing anything to manage your anxiety? It’s hard to tell whether it’s you or your family being unreasonable but you can cut anyone off for any reason- it’s your choice

Family can very judgemental of how I look, dress, of my partner and how we are raising our child if you are sure 100% it isn't you reading too much into what they say, then by all means reduce contact. You aren't seeing them much anyway though?

I have good and bad days.
My partner has been very good and supported me.
As for cutting family off, well if they carry on I will.

I have spoken to doctor and she suggest depression tablets.
I've been having flashbacks n feelings from my time in hospital. I had preeclampsia.
Had no visitors and stayed in hospital for just over a week.
