I have had really bad health anxiety. I'm always thinking the worst, I have been having multiple panic attacks a day. I have been to my doctors but I was wondering if anyone else has suffered with this since giving birth

Yes I have. I am exactly the same and hate it

Hello, I haven't given birth yet (25w here) & don't have health anxiety but have suffered from general anxiety / panic on & off for years, which has included huge anxiety around death, dying & accidents / danger, so I really feel for you.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too Flowers

I have an 11 month DS and have struggled with severe anxiety since he was born. I’ve always had health anxiety but I’ve now projected that onto him and have been convinced at various times that he has all manner of conditions (epilepsy, cerebral palsy and my total obsession is autism) It’s lonely and hard. I’m so sorry. Have you seen your GP? I just don’t really enjoy anything anymore x
