They won't think you're crazy at all. Post natal anxiety is just an illness, like the flu or chickenpox. You're not crazy at all. But there is help out there, help that will sort this out for you. Could you speak to your GP or Health Visitor tomorrow do you think?

No one will think you can't cope. I promise. Your Dr or HV will think you're brave and competent for facing it and trying to get help.

This happens to so many women, and many don't talk about it. That's what a lovely HV said to me.
