Yes. I do need a counselor. For some reason I always feel like I can get through things without one.
I always worried (about job and school performance, loss of loved one ) , but never as much as after childbirth. Definatly PTSD And post partum then. Was pregnant again with the C diagnosis and had pretty traumatic experience. Led to issues with husband that made him want marriage counseling and then he left.
My anxieties are now all about husband and what he is doing instead of health issues. They seem to evolve with each new crappy life event.
