Hi everyone.
I had my little boy 8 months ago, and I've been struggling with post natal anxiety since she was about 6 months. I had to go back to work when he was 12 weeks old and it really wasn't easy. I went back into a childcare role which was very demanding and then had my little ones to care for at home while my husband worked really long shifts. From end of July I have struggled with PNA, it's been relentless and I've had to have my medication increased twice. I had to call in today, it's the 5th day I've had to take for this in a period of 6 months. I also have 5 additional days I had to take spread out due to my little ones being poorly. I'm really terrified I'm going to lose my job for trying to get myself better. I'm at a loss. I've been really honest with work, I got promoted 9 weeks after returning from maternity, I work extremely hard in my setting and go above and beyond. I'm really scared I'm going to lose my job and my role. Which doesn't help my anxiety at all...
