I’m a mum of a 2-year-old and I’ve been really struggling mentally lately.
I’ve always had anxiety growing up, but over the last 3 years it has become much more intense. I wake up most mornings with a sick feeling in my stomach and a sense of dread, like something bad is going to happen. I worry about the future alot...
I overthink a lot, especially around responsibility, getting things wrong, or feeling like I could get into trouble. It makes me constantly seek reassurance and feel like I need certainty before I can relax.
I’ve been questioning whether this is severe anxiety, OCD traits, or just being completely overwhelmed, and it’s been really hard.
I just wanted to ask if any other mums have experienced something similar or felt this way before. I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any advice 🤍
