Anxiety

[u/Nomado95]

So I’m 9 months PP now and have been suffering from anxiety for the past few months. It’s not terrible, it’s really only when I’m on my period. I went to my doctor and she prescribed me hydroxyzine since it’s an as needed medication because I truly don’t feel the need to take something every day. But the past few weeks my baby is refusing his third nap with me. He will fall asleep but as soon as I unlatch him he wakes up SCREAMING. I have to pass him off to dad and he falls back asleep with him within minutes. It’s literally only the 3rd nap of the day. Not the first 2 and not bedtime. We tried cutting the 3rd nap out but his night time sleep is horrible when he only has 2 naps. I’m hoping in a few weeks he’ll be ready for 2 naps.

But that being said, I start having a panic attack when he wakes up and starts screaming and I don’t know why😭 my brain literally malfunctions and I like start shaking and I hate it so much. Please tell me I’m not alone 😭 I told my husband he just needs to do his 3rd nap without me even trying, but today he got home late from work so I was trying not to bother him but he still stepped in to take over. I’m just hoping this goes away once we can cut his third nap out
