Hey all, in this rather long chatty update I will be sharing my anxiety story so far, with the hope that this helps other people in my position.. I will share my symptoms and how I cope day to day and things that have aided my recovery. thanks so much for watching xx
and remember please reach out to me.. my Instagram / vickythorntonnorris
This is such an excellent video. I had dreadful postpartum depression and anxiety with my first baby and I thought I was losing my mind. I did have to take antidepressants for awhile and felt a lot of shame. You are so right about talking about it. I came out the other side and had no issues with my second. xoxo
You are a very brave woman to make this video.
I was on the other side of a similar situation with my partner many years ago and she refused help or support and it didnt end well for us. You are lucky to have a good partner and friends for support and your positive attitude will help alot.
I am sure everything will work out for the best x
Simon Johnson thank you Simon, means a lot... sorry to hear you have been through that.. it’s not nice and totally unexpected on my part.. thanks for the kind words xxx
I'm so sorry to hear that you felt like that.. Like you say post natal depression is spoken about more than post natal anxiety I didn't even know it existed... But thank you for opening up and telling us your symptoms just incase some of us are going through the exact same problem then we won't feel alone stay strong you've got this ❤️❤️
Sarah Willey so welcome Sarah I really hope it does help. Thank you ❤️
So much time for this video Vicky, could for you for speaking about your experience. Everyone is going through something and even if you help one person to know ‘everything will be ok’ you’ve done a world of good. Much love x x x
Omg :'( I feel so sorry for you!! I suffered depression and anxiety after both my kids. I was worse the first time. Anxiety takes over me most days even now, my eldest is almost 4 and my youngest is 2 in March. Some days im fine, other days I don't even want to get dressed. I had a very traumatic labour the first time and I wasn't in a great relationship so I didn't have the emotional support. I wouldn't leave the house, I always just imagined something awful happening to my baby. You're so brave for sharing this and you will be helping so many people honestly❤❤
Melissa Pearson Melissa thanks for your lovely msg... it can affect us all it’s horrible.. I hope you’re feeling better with each day ❤️❤️
Im crying so much with your story because I can totally relate with the bleeding 😢 i had it with my first son but I’m starting to feel it with my second and I’m only a week postpartum.
Darling. You will get past this. I promise. Pls msg me on instagram if you need to talk. Sending you massive hugs xxxx
You are in my prayers. You are so brave and this bad time will pass. You are brave and strong. X
Emily thank you that’s so kind 💜💜
So sorry things have been so hard! Very brave to post this Vicky. I think it’s fantastic that you’re raising awareness, lots of women feel this way and suffer in silence for a long time. Really hoping things keep getting better for you and improve every single day ❤️
Hannah W hi Hannah thank you, I agree it’s not spoken about enough 💜💜
You are so brave to talk about your feelings on a public platform. Sending you loads of love and encouragement. I had PPD and still do feel overwhelmed many times. I wish you all the very best Vicky.
I wish I could hold your hand and tell you everything will get better soon.. I can totally understand what happened because I feel many symptoms too.. thank you Vicky. We all are with u.
Sneha Titus that’s so kind of you, I am hopeful I will get through this and keep getting better, the support I have had from all of you lovely people is amazing. Always here to talk xx
I could have recorded this video myself! I’m 7 months post-partum & have been suffering horrendous panic attacks. I have no idea where it’s come from, I didn’t have a traumatic birth. I’ve been under the perinatal mental health team for some counselling sessions but I’m still not okay. It’s so refreshing to hear of someone else with the same problem! I hope it gets sorted for you. Happy to talk if you ever need to, I am following you on Instagram 💕
Lauren hi Lauren. Sorry to hear you’re feeling this way.. but happy you’re seeking help, it’s something that can affect anyone and I’m always here to chat if you need to talk to someone that fully understands xx
Sorry you felt like this but thank you so much for opening up about it. Hope you feel better soon 💛
Jade thank you jade ❤️
Such an honest video and I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been going through this my lovely. Sounds like you are getting there and doing all the right things and I hope each day you get closer to feeling back to your ‘normal’ self xxxxx
I’m so sorry you felt like this... I suffered with anxiety horrendously and managed to come out the other side. Please reach out to people if you ever feel the need I hope you feel better soon 💙 xx

It’s worth noting anti depressants take at least three months to get into your system and actually start working. Hope you feel better soon. X
Lizzie Wright thanks darling x
This video is so relaxing
Bless you babe, having a baby puts a huge strain on our bodies and on our brains, just the huge surges and dips in hormones is enough to cause a massive chemical imbalance, it is very very painful and the adrenaline our body produces also causes a crash and burn afterwards.... I am not going to go into my story as this is about you but i completely understand... You are a human and you must give yourself a break ,you are not a bloody robot.. Your son will survive a few weeks without being constantly entertained and your baby won't know if you are not a superwoman... This is all stress babe, it is your nerves sending signals as you are releasing stress hormones. Get some coping techniques that work for you, you can use literally anything, i use distraction techniques.... you are wonderful and remember that! sending love from Tina in Richmond xxx
Ti Jay hi Tina, you are so right I was reading through your comment and smiling because I hadn’t really thought of it that way... thank you so much. Sending love back ❤️❤️
@@vickythornton-norris bless you, you have to be patient with yourself ,you look beautiful on the outside so people just see that so they will struggle to understand your feelings so you need to talk about it but don't leave it until after the fact. For example if you feel anxious about going Christmas shopping chose things online and get them delivered or pick them up to limit time you have to spend out and about, pace yourself, go to places you know won't trigger it. You can get period pants so if you are concerned you may bleed again out of the blue then using them with a pad for when you are out will tell your brain you feel secure, take spare black panties ,wetwipes and leggings out in the nappy bag then even if the worst happened and you did bleed again you can sort yourself out and go straight to the hospital, it won't kill you( i know from experience) . There is always a solution to an issue. With Christmas approaching do not think you have to deck the halls and feed the 5 thousand ... let someone else cook. If you want to entertain take them out on Christmas Eve to the local carvery ( the day itself is over priced and not worth it) Christmas is about love and the company not the biggest turkey. You created a life a very short time ago so that trumps everything xxx
Ti Jay Tina honestly I appreciate this so so much! Just what I needed to hear and it means the world... you’ve always supported me through the happy and sad times and for that I’m very grateful.. lots of love xxxx
@@vickythornton-norris You are more than welcome babe, you have been kind enough to share yourself and your life with us(me) so the least i can do is show support and love when you are up and down. Be kind to yourself ,bless you xxx
Shallow breathing makes anxiety worse...listen to your breathing and see if you can catch yourself doing it
Had all those symptoms
Did you have also blury vision and dizziness? Dizziness also i have with out thinking something anxious
YES, all the time, was awful... hope you’re ok 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@@vickythornton-norris can we talk
A year on and still struggling from post natal anxiety. I've had two csections. I think that the older you are, the worse the post partum anxiety can be cos you're more aware. I'm glad I'm not the one one who's suffering from this. Even though this is an old video, can I just ask have you recovered?
Hi Katy, I’m so sorry to hear that. I wouldn’t say I am 100% recovered id say I’ll always carry some level of health related anxiety. BUT, I am 90% better than what I was, I don’t worry daily, not even weekly. Just when I’m faced with something I’m much more sensitive than most. If you ever want to talk, pls msg me over on Instagram. I would be more than happy to talk through some things. Sometimes I found that really helped just talking. Big hugs xxx
