Post natal anxiety experience

I am pretty certain I have PN anxiety. Some days it’s manageable other days it’s awful. I discussed with the midwife at the outset and have been enrolled on group CBT class. I’m not sure how useful it will be as it’s a group setting and I feel I need to work through my experience / what is making me anxious. Not sure. Any one else have any experience?

dc2 was in hospital for severe jaundice after birth which I know is common but tbh it caused so much anxiety. I also really missed dc1.

i was convinced either me dc1 or dc2 was going to die. To the point I would wake up each morning and think thank goodness my kids survived the night and can live another day. Exhausting.

since then I think I improved but last week I witnessed a violent attack on someone I know by complete coincidence and it’s set me back. I’m again feeling like me dc1
and dc2
Are lucky to be living each day. I am terrified someone saw me witness the violent attack.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Can you ask for a referral to your local perinatal MH team as they should support you until your baby is 1.
