Hello doctor..... I am 29 years old. In 2022, when I was 5 months pregnant, I had retina surgery and my delivery was also through C-section. I am very depressed these days. I keep having negative thoughts all the time. I worry more about the future than the present. I keep thinking about things that have not happened. I get scared without any reason. I suddenly start sweating and my heartbeat increases. I get panicky quickly. I get angry over small things. I repeat the same thing again and again. Please tell me what has happened to me?

Hi
It sounds like you are experiencing anxiety and panic symptoms, possibly linked to postpartum changes, past medical trauma, and hormonal shifts. Your mind is stuck in a loop of overthinking and fear, which is making your body react with sweating, fast heartbeat, and panic. This is not your fault—your brain is simply in a state of high alert due to past stress.
One useful step? Grounding exercises—when panic starts, hold something cold (like ice or a metal spoon), focus on its texture, and name five things around you. This shifts your brain out of panic mode. Also, journaling your thoughts can help release the mental load.
If these feelings persist, therapy can help you regain control over your thoughts and emotions. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
