My depression with my first born hit me hard. The minute he came out of me, I went bat shit crazy in terms of crying, anxiety, depression panic attacks and not being able to help him. I'm highly sensitive to noise so the hospital I was in had me in a very quiet room, alone with my son and husband. This was back in the States.
I do battle mental health issues and I get help for it, but noise is a big trigger. Uncontrolled noise that I can't escape (for example I can't live in apartments) cause me to feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I've gone to therapy for it, but the sensitivity is still there. I attempted suicide because I was trapped in an apartment and the place did not allow me to move out because "it was normal noise" and it was purpose built. A baby crying is different. I can remove myself, but noise coming from outside sources like a hospital will 100% mess me up. I have learned to take my noise sensitivity very, very seriously. I used to force myself to face the noise thinking I can overcome it and I made it worse. The noise sensitivity is an underlining condition of my PTSD. Anyway..... with this said, how will the hospital treat these inevitable issues?
I mean..... fuck me! Trying to have a baby the right way while battling mental illness is a fucking bitch. I will be in intense therapy, but I'm worried about the PPD and noise sensitivity being triggered at the same time.
