3 month PPA

I am reaching out to anyone who has suffered with PPA and panic attacks. I usually feel hopeful but right now I’m not feeling so hopeful. I had my daughter three months ago, and for about two weeks I have had intrusive thoughts and it’s causing panic attacks. I feel dizzy and just not myself. I started lexapro a week ago. I am on 10mg and Xanax when needed for panic attacks. I don’t like taking the Xanax though. I hate this feeling and I just need to know that things will get better. That medication will help and I won’t live my life in fear of something bad happening to me. Can anyone relate or tell me their story?! Thank you!

    I can totally relate. I’m 3 months post partum and suddenly started having awful anxiety and insomnia. I got sleeping pills for the meantime but I plan on going on anti anxiety meds + therapy. Note, I’ve always struggled with anxiety, but it got significantly worse around the 3 month point. I felt totally fine those first months! 

    Apparently our hormones change a lot at 3 months!

    Hang in there!!
