Sensitive to stress since becoming a parent…

I’ve always thrived on stress and working under a huge amount of pressure in my career before my son, but now I’m finding myself becoming teary and full of anxiety when dealing with stressful ‘admin’ type things since becoming a parent. I’m currently trying to sort a remortgage that is proving stressful due to a crappy solicitor and I’m finding myself in floods of tears over it even though it’s mostly sorted now. I’m also pregnant with number 2 so it could be hormones but I’ve noticed my anxiety being much higher since being a mummy in other situations too…has anyone else experienced this? It makes me petrified of returning to work when I eventually get there! Any advice welcome!

@C4SKI I found it was lack of sleep that made me tearful even trying to do the supermarket shop was overwhelming, when I got more sleep things were more manageable
