Thank you for sharing your experiences. From a psychological perspective, your symptoms—nocturnal panic attacks, heightened anxiety, fear of darkness, and feelings of suffocation—indicate unresolved stress and anxiety, possibly exacerbated by life transitions and isolation. The postpartum period adds significant hormonal, emotional, and physical changes that can amplify these feelings, especially without sufficient support or outlets for relaxation.
Therapy is crucial in your situation for several reasons:
1. Professional Guidance: A therapist can help you process past trauma and current fears, addressing the root causes of your anxiety.
2. Coping Strategies: You’ll learn practical tools to manage panic attacks and regulate emotions, making daily life more manageable.
3. Postpartum Care: Therapy can support you in navigating postpartum challenges, such as bonding with your baby and maintaining your mental health.
