Postnatal anxiety - any help?

[PinkMilkYellowCup]

My DS is 5 months old and I think I may have postnatal anxiety. Some days I feel ok, but others I feel anxious about almost everything - the DC's, how tidy the house is, death, and how life is just ticking away too fast.

My question is, is there any point me asking for help (GP, health visitor)? Is there anything that can actually be done or will I just be told to wait it out? I wouldn't want to take medication for it.

It seems silly typing this but I've sort of convinced myself it's futile asking for help.

Has anyone has this and, if so, did it get better? How?

Yes...I had cbt over the phone but there were quite a few different options avaliable to me through the gp. Mindfulness and exercise help me to stay less anxious now :) there is hope xx

Thank you. So maybe I should see what provision is available in my area. All the best with your recovery (if that's the right word).
