Bad anxiety and paranoia after giving birth!

My newborn son is 5 weeks and since he was about 2 weeks old I started getting really bad anxiety about leaving the house with him, meeting up with people and people coming over. When my family pay and unplanned visit I get irritable and annoyed.
Lately I've started getting paranoid about my partner. I keep thinking he's going to leave me or lying about things. I'm driving myself and him bonkers. He said he's sick of me behaving like this as it's irrational. I don't feel myself and don't know what's going on. Any ideas? Plus I keep hearing things that aren't there like I heard a baby crying upstairs but he's sitting down here with me or I heard a hair dryer on in the bedroom but no one was in there... Confused

This can be pretty common but also could be a sign of PND , you should probably have a chat about it with a health visitor / gp because it's unlikely to go away without help .
Don't feel embarrassed about it , they will have heard it all before and they will be able to help you .
