depressed?

hi im 22 and have been feeling a little crazy.... for as long as i can remember i have always always overthought everything except i thought this was normal... till recently having a baby and spending a lot of time alone im going insane... im exhausting myself with endless questions about how other people feel and my poor boyfriend who is exactly what ive always wanted (except minor disagreements about money) is getting the brunt of it all like yesterday he decided to take a nap in the middle of the day and my mind went oh he mustve had a hard day at work, or maybe he didnt get enough sleep last night, i wonder if i kept him up all night maybe i annoy him by tossing and turning all night .. to maybe he just doesnt want to pnd time with me and would rather sleep then sit in the same room with me and actually spend quality time with me and it will go on and on till i finally broke down and woke him up to ask him why he was taking a nap and when he said because he was tired i continued to probe him with endless questions which ended up in an arguement and him going back to bed mad and leaving me with so many more questions!
anyways i thought that all people were like this but apparently not and im noticing it interupting my life now instead of relaxing and enjoying whats going on im overanalyzing whats going on and why people are acting the way they are or what people are thinking about me or if im even supposed to be where i am or if im good enough to be where i am with who im with... as you can probably tell im dealing with a lot... the only thing that seems to keep my interest is my baby seeign her smile makes my day everyday .... but i would like to have more happiness and less stress in my life

yeah i have definatly felt like this for much longer than that maybe 5 or 6 years... i thought it was just normal to think that way.. its just intensified lately where its hard to consintrate on anything going on around me and i feel like i need constant approval and when i dont get it i get angry

it sounds like postnatal depression, u should go see your GP and tell him/her how u r feeling, i felt simalar to how u r feeling after having my daughter nearly 3 years ago and i always took it out on my boyfriend too, askin questions about how he felt towards me and askin how he could love some like me, then shouted at him for telling me that e loved me or i looked nice.
