I have been dealing with post natal anxiety, DD is now 15 months. Ive had great counselling and on wait list for CBT.
I find the focus of my anxiety shifts and changes as my DD moves into new stages and when I seem to get over my current fear/fixation on a particular thing it's on to the next. At moment I'm feeling a bit jealous and worried about my DD becoming much closer to other main carers e.g my DP (her father) who spends just as much time caring for her as I do as we both work part time shifts through the week. I get really sad as she used to just want me and me only all the time but now is equally content with her father and after my 3 days of working I get worried about my 'first day' back with her and start to over think and feel sad about every cuddle she wants from him.
My DP is so supportive and I tell him all my worries, I'm also about to start CBT so I know I'm going to get support for these thoughts but just really would like to hear from any other anxiety sufferers who have dealt with this and have some positive advice or stories for me as I think that would help me
