I think im suffering from PPD I feel so alone and overwhelmed after having my daughter. I developed extreme anxiety I sweat and shake and obsess about her safety.  I feel as though everything I'm doing is wrong with her she's a week old. My mom who waited so impatiently for a granddaughter never even stopped by to visit us. I'm heartbroken and suffering from bad anxiety. I'm so scared of taking my eyes off my baby for even a minute I feel like a horrible mom!!

Please tell doctor when you see him for your check up.  What you are feeling is common after childbirth so he will have dealt with it many times before.

It was the worst part for me. I feel it would be better if you spoke to a professional..I unfortunately could not due to my financial situation.. My ppd went on for almost 3 months.. I was miserable.. I felt like a bad mom and that my husband didn't want me.. The worst and scariest feeling ever!! I really hope you can find someone to talk to love.. And that it gets way better

Completely normal feelings. You should call your doctor to let them know because it can become serious
