Just anxiety (the rage kind) but I also got a chronic illness diagnosis after because pregnancy made it worse so I count it lol

I have schizoaffective disorder and was well supported throughout pregnancy and 4 months into motherhood by the perinatal MH team. I’m still supported by my community team. Surprisingly I haven’t (so far) developed any negative ill mental health.

Ppd, PPA and POCD and the RAGE 🥲🥲🥲 still living through them. They've also advised me to have a think about getting an ADHD and ASD assessment..
I always said when I was younger that I wanted 3 kids if I could but honestly this has humbled me.
I've thought about possibly being 1 & done because I don't think I can go through that all again.

I’ve got no idea what’s going on, waiting for answers. Always suffered with anxiety and sometimes depression, a 2 year old and 9m old and I’m worse than ever.

I meant to click more than one 🥲

PPD and PPA with my first. This time I feel great so far!

i have BPD and ADHD, brutal, have a great team, even before I was pregnant, but my major symptom was rage and I had to curb that quickly. Doing the guinea pig meds thing now, not great but hopefully getting somewhere?!?

Post partum rage was really bad with my first, hoping to dodge it this time around
