Even though the experiences might be different, there are many similarities in postpartum struggles. It helps all of us to know that ALL of our experiences are real, and no one has it “all figured out.” Thinking that everyone else but you must have it all figured out creates a lot of anxiety in the already difficult transition to motherhood. Anxiety is completely normal in the new and demanding world of motherhood, but sometimes that anxiety escalates into something that greatly impacts our ability to function throughout the day, our sleep, and our care for our families. It is painful–physically, mentally, and emotionally–and it brings shame and self-judgment, which only compounds the problem. There is no timeline or race to “get it all together.” Everyone’s journey is different. Let’s take a closer look at postpartum anxiety.

Show Highlights:

  • Mental health conditions make us feel bad, even if we aren’t fully aware of what’s happening.
  • Common signs and symptoms of anxiety: excessive worry, fear, overwhelm, restlessness, sleep difficulties, chest tightness, heart palpitations, shallow breathing, sweatiness, chills, tight muscles, and gastrointestinal issues
  • Anxiety can be magnified by trauma.
  • Symptoms of anxiety can make it difficult to pay attention and concentrate.
  • Trying to control/manage things and overpreparing are signs of anxiety.
  • The challenging aspect of anxiety for a therapist is to get people to believe that anxiety won’t last forever and that things CAN change.
  • Slow steps are important in the process of change.
  • Anxiety feels like failure–like you aren’t doing enough.
  • Therapy is ALWAYS worth it!

Resources:
