PostPartum Hypochondria?

[lahawes1]

Looking for Help/Advice/Support....
My baby is now three months old and since he was about 1.5 months I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety/depp. I was started on zoloft but had an adverse reaction to it so I am scared to take or try anything else. My problem is I constantly think something is majorly wrong with me even though multiple tests (blood work,ct scans of chest/belly) have came back negative... I feel like every headache,dull abdominal pain is something major the doctors are missing, it literally is driving me insane, I obsess and can't stop thinking that these things I am experiencing are not post partum related. any advice/support would be helpful!!! thank you

Hi, I've suffered with mild health anxiety since I can remember, but it spiralled out of control after having Lo. I thought I had every illness going (mainly cancer). I was referred for cbt which helped a bit. The main things which helped were allowing myself 10 minutes 'worry time' a day, also sites like no more panic are pretty good x
