Today I am just over 7 weeks postpartum. For the ladies who have had children the whole postpartum bleeding can be tremendous. Yuck!! With both my pregnancies my PP Bleeding lasted 6 weeks. My first pregnancy I did not have pp anxiety.

Well last night I had that anxiety attack. I hadn't had - in 11 days!!! I was perplexed as to why I had it. Again in my sleep and the anxiety has continued on and off today! Well... SURPRISE only a week after my pp bleeding my monthly cycle has started! HORMONES surging!!!

I'm convinced that my anxiety is tied to my hormones!! I hope it doesn't last as long as my cycle!!! Good night, I'll be in trouble if it does. I am going to track my anxiety and symptoms and times it happens to see if in fact what I am thinking is true. I'm already going with a yes, but a few months worth of data will be helpful to prove my theory!

Wish me luck for the rest of the week!
Dumb hormones, dumber anxiety!!!

Well night 2 of physical anxiety symptoms!! I got up to make the baby a bottle and get her diaper changed. She was crying pretty heavily, so I was trying to move ASAP!! Once I got her changed and the bottle in her mouth I instantly began to feel burning sensation in my left shoulder neck and face!! I took a long drink of water, but that just made me nauseous!!! I instantly started positive affirmations. It went a way a little but now is back. Going to end this post so I can deal with this the right way AND finishing feeding my baby.

DARN U HORMONES!!! I REALLY DISLIKE what u have done to my body!!!

Hang in there Momma. It'll get better.

Congrats on the new bundle of joy!

I miss having a baby in the house. My daughter is 6 going on 13. It's a whole different type of anxiety now.

Good luck!

Hang in there, girl! You can do this.

I will ABSOLUTELY second the darn you hormones! Our hormone issues are vastly different, but those dang things are ugh.

Cool sports drink and spearmint things seems to help me with the heat/burning sensations I get from hormones (have had those since pre-anxiety). Spearmint sweet tea is a cool rush of delishiousness. Bonus: spearmint relieves nausea in some people. :)

Hope you're feeling calmer soon! Good job on managing your anxiety so well and going so many days without an attack. That's awesome. :)
