Anyone in here have a baby and then all of a sudden develop this?? I’m a year postpartum and I get ptsd a lot and panic. I feel detached unreal most times

I’m a year postpartum how do I know if I love my baby I’m constantly worrying if I do or don’t or if I do enough. I hate this feeling I’ve been worrying about it since he was born. I just want to cry

I don’t know what’s is going on with my sense of time. I have like none. I went to the zoo yesterday with my son and it actually feels like that was a month ago. Is something wrong with me I’m so scared. I had a c section a year ago nothing is the same I feel completely changed not just bc I’m a parent now but mentally emotionally all around changed and not a good way

Can you get a c section shelf from a low transverse cut? I had a c section a year ago and it is well below my bikini like like basically right above my vagina. I am unsure if I have a shelf or just secrete bloating

Hi everyone. I’m posting anonymously because I honestly feel scared and alone and I don’t know how to explain what’s happening to me. I’m postpartum and ever since having my baby, especially after my C-section, I feel like my brain has been stuck in a constant state of fear/dread. Not always panic attacks physically — more like a nonstop mental panic that never fully shuts off.

It’s hard to explain, but things sometimes feel “off” or unfamiliar, even my own house sometimes. Certain lighting, smells, weather, seasons, or memories can trigger this horrible feeling in me. I feel hyperaware of everything and constantly focused on how I feel mentally. My thoughts race all day and I keep fearing I’m going crazy or that something is deeply wrong with me.

The weird part is I can still function and my vitals are usually normal, so it makes me feel even crazier because the fear feels SO real. It’s more like a constant sense of doom/dread than physical panic. I also notice myself obsessively searching for reassurance, screenshotting conversations so I don’t forget them, and spiraling over the thought of feeling this way forever.

Medical stuff now terrifies me too. Even thinking about procedures or hospitals sends me into fear because I’m terrified of mentally feeling “weird” again like I did postpartum.
