Postnatal anxiety, what is normal?

I'm now 11 days postpartum and my anxiety is just through the roof. I feel like I have a constant lump in my throat, and it's taking away what should be a joyus time. I realise my hormones are probably still balancing out, at what stage does postnatal anxiety become an issue? Or truly anxiety and not to blame on the hormones?

I have a few life events going on in the background which I have tried sorting before little ones arrival with no luck. These are major contributing factors I think to my anxiety, but surely they shouldn't be tipping me over the edge (My car which has been half repaired for 2 months - still waiting on mechanic to pull his finger out!) and needing to find a new yard for horse which I won't even bother boring you with). Or maybe it's normal to feel this anxious with two big things always on my mind?

Any thoughts appreciated x

I think if it's getting on the way of you enjoying your DD then it's time to seek some support.

Have you spoken to PANDAS Foundation? It might be worth talking to them before you do anything else Flowers
