I have anxiety when I'm not with my little 1

I'm beginning to feel this isn't very normal behaviour, I have major anxiety when I am not around my little 1, she's just turned 7 months. Her dad left me while pregnant for some one else so I am doing this on my own with my other 2 older kids dd (19) ds (16)
I popped down to my local tesco for some milk, it's a 5 min drive. My dd said she would sit and keep an eye on the little 1 and let me pop out. When I was in the shop I just felt an overwhelming panic come across me out of nowhere, I rushed out and burst into tears in the car on the way home. I have passed all my post natal depression checks (answered honestly) I don't ever feel upset or depressed in general. I'm quite a happy grateful person. I'm not upset my partner left me ect. I have not had any dramas, I just ignored and kept myself in my own business and concentrated on my little 1 but I just can't shake this horrible feeling I get when she's not with me. I don't want this to continue as she gets older. I know in my own mind this isn't normal behaviour, I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this

I honestly don't know if it's normal or not. I know that I didn't like leaving mine at that age, even with someone I trusted but I wouldn't say it was panic.

Maybe talk to the PANDAS Foundation and see what they think Flowers

Im pretty sure I had undiagnosed ppd and I had this feeling a lot with one of mine. It only really stopped after I had anti anxiety meds after an unrelated trauma. I would highly recommend seeing your gp, ppd can be very hard and meds aren't forever
