You're exhausted from always imagining the worst case scenario.

It feels like no matter how hard you try the worry feels endless.

You adore your baby, yet some days you’re overwhelmed by a restless fear that won’t let up. Motherhood is far more challenging than you imagined, and nobody prepared you for this constant undercurrent of anxiety.

The constant thoughts, the tension in your chest, the sleepless nights, the intrusive thoughts, they’re not just part of being a new mom. They’re a deeper struggle you don’t have to face alone.

You wake up feeling tense and worn out, juggling everyone’s needs while feeling like your own calm is slipping away. The happiness you expected seems out of reach, replaced by a nagging sense of dread that won’t fade. Constantly checking the baby monitor for breathing. Anxious something bad will happen. You’ve tried to tell yourself to relax, to breathe, to keep going. But deep down, you know this isn’t just temporary.

You might catch yourself being more irritable with loved ones, or staying up late scrolling to escape the relentless worries.

Maybe you’ve thought:

“I want to relax, but I just can’t.”
“Why do other moms seem so calm when I feel like this?”
“I know everything is okay, but I can’t stop these thoughts.”

These feelings don’t mean you’re failing. They mean you’re hurting- and you deserve support.

FAQs

  • It’s normal for new moms to feel some anxiety as they adjust to the demands of motherhood. Normal mom anxiety usually comes and goes and doesn’t interfere with daily life. Postpartum anxiety (PPA), however, is more intense and persistent. It involves excessive, uncontrollable worry, physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or muscle tension, and intrusive thoughts that are hard to manage. PPA can impact your ability to function and enjoy motherhood, and it often requires professional support.

  • If you experience ongoing anxiety, excessive worry, physical symptoms like restlessness or rapid heartbeat, or intrusive thoughts that interfere with your ability to care for yourself or your baby for more than a few weeks, it’s important to seek help. Therapy can offer support and practical tools to manage symptoms and regain balance.

  • Postpartum anxiety often hides behind constant worry, racing thoughts, and the feeling that something bad is always about to happen. If your mind won’t shut off, you’re not just “overthinking”- you might be experiencing PPA. Therapy can help you feel safe in your own mind again.
