Need advise about PP depression

Mariahst

So I don't think I have PP depression but the thought has crossed my mind! I seem to hate everyone except my daughter! My husband drives me nuts and his family is right behind him. I'm not sure if it's from having a baby or of it's because I have PPD! I also have weird thoughts sometimes like yesturday I went shopping and dropped her off at her grandmas. Halfway threw shopping I thought did I actually take her to her grandmas! It's like anxiety or something! I also just transitioned her to her crib and have constant anxiety about SIDS! Any thoughts?

I must add I get literally minimal help for her Dad. And his family is constantly nagging on her to do things I don't feel is right for my child.

I have had a lot of thoughts and dreams of bad things happening to my son, my husband or myself.
its the worst. It takes me about 2 hours to fall asleep because it just floods my brain.

Is that normal? My moms sister died of SIDS and I cannot get it out of my head! I was talking to my four year old niece the other day and she said "auntie did baby Lyla die" since then I check on her every five minutes if she is sleeping

You're obviously going to be protective of your baby so I'm sure it's normal to an extent...until it starts taking over your life.

I was very surprised to learn that PP anxiety is just as common as PP depression. Everyone talks about PPD and the anxiety is never mentioned, but effects a lot of people and is real
