Hi all,
I have always struggled with what I believe is OCD (all family say it is very clear how bad it is) and slight anxiety. I thought this would get better when I had my little girl as I would be so busy however since giving birth I have this heavy feeling in my chest constantly and the obsessive behaviour has become extreme.
I have never taken my LG out alone and I'm not sure if this is coincidence (I don't drive and it has been winter, dad works from home so we can go out at lunch) or because I am scared to.
I may have to go and stay at my mums soon due to boiler needing replacing and I am actually getting really stressed about her dad not being there to help me as he helps me so much when he's not working. I know my mum will help but I'm just so nervous about this and I don't think I should be? I feel this is a normal thing that I should be looking forward to but I can't get it off my mind! It's not even booked yet!
Everything makes me anxious, how long baby naps for, if she doesn't nap, I get nervous that she'll be upset later, if she's having a 'bad' day teething etc, I get really stressed and upset.
I feel as if I'm always stressed and I often take it out on my partner. I'm unsure what to do about this as I often feel very down but I am not one to talk to a person face to face about my 'feelings'.
