Can't stop worrying

[Catarinah]

Hi all. So im a FTM to a beautiful 6 month old baby boy. I've aleays struggled on and off with anxiety but recently been feeling like I am constantly worrying about one thing or another which is making me feel rather overwhelmed and emotional.
I worry about all sorts from going back to work (even though not going bach until January)
How many days a week should I go back
Needing to move to a bigger house (current house is very small and lack of space is stressing me out)
Lockdown affecting my maternity leave and the ability to meet new people as I'd hoped as I know no one where we live and my family are an hour away and my partners 2.5 hours away
Where to move to next because I want my LO to have a nice upbringing in a nice area (it's even worrying me that we're close to Rhyl in North Wales which is really rough and I don't like the thought of him growing up near there, apologies if I sound like a snob, so worrying about that and my OH doesn't want to move too far from where we are now in Dyserth as he thinks it's fair we start fresh because we were long distance and he didn't want to move to where I'm from and nor did I to where he's from, hence why we're here... But I feel alone with no support).
I just feel like everything is getting on top of me and I want to be more present with my baby as hes growing so fast, which is also upsetting me. Sorry for the long post. My oh is very supportive and does everything he can to help, today for example he's building a drop down leaf table to fit in our tiny lounge so we can sit down as a family when weaning, but I like the list of worries I have is endless :(

Do you need to talk to your GP about this level of anxiety?

Hi! Im in councilling for post natal anxiety after a traumatic birth and hospital stay. One thing ive found very useful is to note down the thing im feeling anxious about, then next to that write down evidence supporting that anxiety, then write down evidence to the contrary, then write down a more reasonable thought. So for example, one for me would be -

Anxious thought - I cant get my baby to sleep, the whole day is going to be a disaster

Supporting evidence - he gets irritable when he doesnt sleep and this makes the day harder

Contrary evidence - ive always been able to settle him, sooner or later

More reasonable thought - he may not go down to sleep when he needs too and he may get irritable, but ive always managed to get him to sleep in the past.

I suffer with catastrophising things though, not sure if this would help you?

No don't think so as my worries are more circumstantial really, I've been to the GP numerous times with my anxiety in the past so wouldn't hesitate to go if needed... Yeah I could try that, writing things down, as my mind feels really muddied at the moment!
