Hello everyone.
I had a baby 7 weeks early, via emergency c-section high blood pressure, placenta had stopped working.
Afterwards was extremely rough they wouldn't let me home because my blood pressure wouldn't come down even on medication, up and down to neonatal whilst recovering from a c-section.
I have two boys who was born healthy and natural births I remember staring out the hospital window at them as my partner took them to my ex ( there dad) outside and just crying thinking I'd never get out of hospital and be with them again!
I sobbed when they sent me for a scan the look on the women's face said it all that something was not right I knew they would get her out it was like a nightmare!

I'm stuck in in an extremely awful place mentally I just want someone to say they've experienced the same I feel alone I feel like I'm going insane.
Every day I think I'm dying of something I have extreme health anxiety I can't control the worry to the point the worry makes me feel like I'm dying Aswell.

Counselling will not work and I don't want be hooked on medication :(
Please will someone talk to me about any situations similar

Don't write off counselling. It's a process but could help.

Agreed, try CBT and Hypnotherapy. Both have helped me massively with my health anxiety.
