Same time everyday same feeling

Hey it’s completely normal they call it the nighttime scaries! It’s an awful type of anxiety to deal with at the time but definitely passes, I used to read my kindle to pass the time until it would reach 4/5am

Hi, it happened to me for about 2-3weeks, every day at the same time in the afternoon I would get waves of sadness and anxiety no matter what I was doing… it got better by itself before disappearing

Almost everyone experiences this due to the hormone drop once the placenta is removed! It goes away after 2-3 weeks ❤️ I know right now it feels like it's lasting forever, but I promise it will feel like a distant memory soon

It's normal, it will pass. I used to cry at 6pm on the dot, I didn't know why but felt sooooo sad.

I had never heard of the sunset scaries and used to feel the same and it was awful. What helped me was thinking about why I felt so anxious and how I could fix that. So the basis of the anxiety (generally speaking) is that you don't know how your night will go and what will happen - when baby will wake etc. I used to remind myself that I COULD do it, I did it the night before and survived and I'll do it again. I'd have tasty snacks ready in bedside table in case I was awake with baby and a fun show to watch (I had MAFS Austraila hah). It lasted maybe 2 weeks and as time went on I realised I could handle anything the night threw my way. You can too Mama!

As everyone else has said, this is a real and common thing! Being outside before/when you get this feeling, usually around sunset, helps to prevent it or lessen it. I got in the habit of going for a walk with my babe around sunset for the first few months, and it does eventually subside!

I'm an introvert and don't enjoy doing out in the sun, so I did something a little different to cope. Everybody preaches about how your life will never be the same again after having kids, and I don't handle change well so it absolutely terrified me. I didn't want life to change, so I found a way to incorporate my "normal" into this "new life". I use soaps with the same smell as what I used during and before my pregnancy to help combat nostalgic depression, I play the same video games and watch the same shows/listen to the same music I was super into before having my son, I do my very best everyday to live the same life I had before while also incorporating my son's needs into it. Instead of changing my entire life to revolve around him, I simply added him to the life I've already established. As soon as I did, my depression disappeared immediately. I didn't have to lose my identity, I just got the chance to share my life with my new best friend 💚

Yes I suffered from this so badly. I also got DMER when breastfeeding. It made me feel really depressed and then quickly passed. You’re not alone x

Happened to me and whenever he cried I was physically shaking like I was cold but wasn’t. It passes. What helped me was doing crosswords
