How To Deal With Over Protective Parenting Style In A Parent?

Hi, I hope this isn t a silly question but I m worried. My son is 11m and around 8-9m I started to feel lady, wanting to sleep/nap/lounge. I suffered from depression and anxiety in the past. I am happy to be home as I love it but at the same time I get so bored at home. I m looking for a part time job rather then going back to my old full time job so I can be with my son and safe on daycare costs. My question is, is this just laziness and tired from being at home or ppd? I don t feel sad or depressed or thoughts of harming myself. I also get lots of stress examples include anyone walking with my baby I feel like they will drop him. Not driving many places bc I m scared of getting in an accident or something happening to my baby.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
It is normal to feel to that way for your child especially if that is the only one you have as of now.Getting a part time job could be a good idea as it may help you safe on daycare cost.However, if a full time job can take care of all the expenses and you still have something for yourselve, it will be better.As for being over protective, you just need to know you do not love your child alone.Many can help you take care of the baby if they are given the chance to.All you need to do is make sure the child is in safe hands even at the daycare and you will be fine.With a past history of depression and anxiety, such feelings are possible and may be another manifestation of your underlying health problem.You may see your Psychiatrist if this feeling persist.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
