PPA/PPD moms how are you making out

Hey ladies!
It's been awhile since I have seen an update from any of you and I was just wondering how you are all doing?
We have still been having our good days and bad days but I have found a great (telephone) therapist who I'm very thankful for. Sometimes just being able to talk openly about what is going on helps my anxiety. My husband has been great but it's hard for him to grasp what it feels like and he is the type of person to want to problem solve not just listen. While I would love if he could just fix this I know it's a process (I have dealt with anxiety/panic attacks for 10+ years on and off) to work through. I struggle the most with my fear that something bad will happen to one of the kiddos when I am home alone with them or when DS is crying and I can't figure out why I worry that something is very wrong.

I hope all you other mammas are feeling better and are having more good days than bad. Hugs to any who need them!

    I haven't been diagnosed but I do have pretty bad anxiety and just wanted to say I am happy that you found a great therapist! Anxiety sucks.

    I'm glad you have found a good outlet with your therapist. I have found a great therapist too. I see her weekly which seems very frequent but I do feel like I need it. The hardest part, and maybe you can relate, is trying to find patience to manage everything. Both patience and time are limited, but it's not like with more time you get more patience. You know? I don't know where to draw from. I have a lot on my plate and it seems like more gets piled on every day. I feel most anxious about taking it out on the baby... Like if I can't be patient with her when she really needs it.
