I am in the process of being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
At home I am constantly stressed out, whether it be DS pushing every damn button he can and generally being a pain in the ass, living with my MIL and her various irritating habits, or other normal parts of life like financial stresses, morning sickness, this bloody constant headache that will not go away, being restricted to public transport as I dont have a licence (so I stress about getting all the shopping home for example and it is physically hard on me to get home with a couple of heavy bags and a 3 year old who doesnt listen - I have been buying the bare minimum to get us through to weekend when DF is home and can drive us).
I feel like Im always on edge and cant relax even a tiny bit until the end of the day when DS is in bed. Then I still have the other things going on.
Is this going to be hurting my bellybabe?
I have heard before about mothers being overly stressed and having colicy or refluxy babies. Is that an old wives tale or is there some truth to it?
And how much is too much stress?
