I'm really struggling with my anxiety

[amyandted]

Hi, I had my little boy teddy in feb 2017.
I'm still really struggling with my postnatal stress. When he was born I had these awful dreams that I was on top of a building and I wanted to throw him off. It really freaked me out to the point I was crying at work and in my car. I'm now petrified of heights. When I lie in bed, I suddenly feel like I'm high up with him in my hands. It got to the point where my boyfriend doesn't sleep in the same bed as me anymore. I'm now on my 3rd type of anti depressant but I'm not really getting on with it. Sertraline I think it's called.
I don't know what to do. I just want to stop panicking about something I'd never do.

How long have you been on the Sertraline? It takes around 3 months to really kick in. You may need a dosage increase? Do you have a counsellor or professional to discuss your anxieties with? These are normal, but scary, postnatal anxieties.

Yeah I speak to someone about it. I've been on it for about 2months. I think I might talk to my doctor about changing it again. I just wanted to speak to other mums about it. Most my friends have had really good pregnancies 🤯

I would talk to your GP again about increasing your dosage first perhaps?
