My Extreme Postpartum Anxiety Convinced Me My Baby's Life Was in Danger—Here's What Helped
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. 'If I fall asleep, she'll die in the middle of the night.' More from SheKnows We Just Found the *Cutest* Dog Bed That Looks Straight Out of a LoveShackFancy Catalog (& It's Only $30!) Today's Top Deals How Do You Raise Good Kids in Terrifying Times? 'Hello, Cruel World' Author Melinda Wenner Moyer Has Ideas Think Spring! Target Just Added Tons of Gorgeous New Patio Items Target Is Having a Can't-Miss Spring Sandal Sale for Circle Members 'I must set the temperature to exactly 70 degrees, even though it's August and will cost a million dollars; if I don't, she will suffocate and die.' 'If I go to Target alone, my husband will drop her and she'll have brain damage.' 'Holding her is dangerous, because I could swipe her delicate, paper mâché-esque head against the doorway.' 'If I let anyone near her, they'll infect her with a brain-eating virus after ignoring my pleas to never kiss her on the mouth' 'Driving to the grocery store is out of the question—what if I get into a car accident and die, and she'll be left motherless?' 'If I sleep, that means she's growing up without me already. Even when I hold her, I miss her.' Welcome to the inside of my emotionally feral postpartum brain, a place I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemies. Days after giving birth to my daughter this past summer, I was sucker-punched with seemingly endless waves of intense sadness and anxiety. 'Baby blues' is what the birthing classes warned us about: temporary heightened feelings likely caused by hormonal fluctuations post-child birth that effect up to 80 percent of new moms. How could the best thing to have ever happened to me also feel like the worst? Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you'll love as much as we do. This article was sponsored by BetterHelp, however, all products were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale. 'Ah, baby blues – sounds cute right? And honestly, who isn't a bit down after the massive physical journey your body takes? Baby blues are short, fleeting, physical responses to the experience of childbirth that impact somewhere between 50-80 percent of new moms,' Donna S. Sheperis, PhD and board certified telemental health provider, tells SheKnows. However, she warns if 'intense' feelings are still there after a couple weeks, 'that is more likely to be postpartum depression.' Sheperis says. 'Moms may withdraw from people they love or have feelings of guilt or that they shouldn't be around anymore. Actively suicidal thoughts can occur. Relatedly, postpartum anxiety shows in those early weeks or months by an excessive amount of worry that includes racing and persistent thoughts that the baby isn't safe or that something bad will happen. These thoughts also create problems ranging from general feelings of restlessness all the way to panic.' The fact that I was still experiencing ruthless anxiety about my daughter for weeks after she was born signaled to me that something wasn't right. I made an appointment with my therapist and took the call from my bed, with my baby sleeping right next to me in her bassinet. Telehealth therapy services like BetterHelp (which I've used for years) give people an accessible lifeline when they need help—fast. check out betterhelp I remember telling my therapist exactly what I was thinking, fear by fear, and as I said the words out loud I felt their power dissipate. 'I'm just so worried she'll get SIDS. We practice safe sleeping, we keep the room way too cold, and we don't smoke — but I'm still sticking my finger under her nostrils to make sure she's still breathing every thirty minutes. Even at night,' I confessed to her. We unpackaged the fear of SIDS together. How statistically it was so, so unlikely. How I was already doing everything in my control to prevent it. How my lack of sleep was actually more dangerous than the fear that was keeping me awake. I'm 10 months postpartum, and I still have PPA — but it's more manageable now, thanks to therapy. I can talk myself out of intrusive thoughts and reason with myself. Therapy gives me the tools to do that. The thing about becoming a parent, is that it's all so new — and it happens all at once. I read all the books and took all the classes, and I was still overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by how much effort it takes to care for a tiny human, as well as the psychological toll it would take on me. I knew I would love my baby, but I didn't realize that this kind of love could actually be painful because of how tremendous and all-encompassing it is. Plus, the hormones were making me feel irrational to the next level. I should be able to fall asleep without fearing for my daughter's life. Therapy helped me feel less alone and guided me in how I processed all my new feelings. Check out betterhelp 'Therapy can make a difference by addressing how your thoughts contribute to the experience. Therapy can normalize this part of life so that you don't feel alone in your experience as a mom to a new baby,' Sheperis tells SheKnows. 'Therapy provides the emotional support and validation to allow for the adjustment to adding a new baby to your life. Specifically we see therapy from a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) or Interpersonal (IPT) approach being effective in helping moms address the depressive and anxious symptoms.' It's actually (statistically) effective, too. 'Something helpful to note is that with treatment, about 80 percent of moms get better!' Sheperis notes. BetterHelp has a lot of features that make therapy way more accessible for new mothers especially. If I had to schedule an in-person appointment freshly postpartum, there is no way I would go. Aside from literally still wearing a diaper and refusing to put on real clothes, summoning the energy to leave the house was only reserved for my daughter's check-ups. After taking a short questionnaire, you'll be matched with a therapist who meets your individualized needs. If that person doesn't work out, you can go back and choose another provider (and you can do this until you've found the right person for you). Once you've found a therapist you gel with, scheduling sessions is as easy as booking time on someone's Google calendar. No receptionist or complicated scheduling process included. I used BetterHelp's chat feature a lot. It feels a lot like unloading via text message to a friend, but instead of a friend, it's someone who's trained to actually help you. The feature allows you to privately type out messages to your therapist, who has 24 hours to get back to you. I did this along with video sessions. Especially during bad mental health weeks, I'd message my therapist several times a day — it really felt like I had someone in my corner 24/7. Classes like Setting Boundaries: The Power of the Door, Narcissistic Personality Disorder: When Self-Love Is Not Love, and Understanding and Living With Depressive Disorders are offered through BetterHelp's Classes feature. This isn't something I've personally tried, but my therapist has offered it to me and says it's helpful for many folks. You can schedule sessions with your therapist via phone or video, as well as live chat, either on your desktop or with your phone via the BetterHelp app. Since I already regularly go to therapy and have consistently for four years, I knew that it would be a part of my postpartum care practice. I made my first appointment with my therapist about a week and half after giving birth, and my provider was really flexible and worked around my wacky new life/schedule. But for folks who've never tried therapy and are wondering if it's for them after giving birth: I can just personally say it was critical for my own wellbeing as a new mom. 'Going back to the perfectly normal experience of the baby blues — if those feelings persist for more than a couple of weeks or if you begin to think about dying, suicide, or other harm, therapy is an important step,' Sheperis says. 'And don't forget that these symptoms may not show up for awhile. New moms may feel a sort of high postpartum due to the physical and emotional changes and their excitement at having a baby! There may be symptoms that pop up a couple of months after the birth and you may not think they have anything to do with having a baby!' Sheperis adds, 'We may become more irritable or snap at loved ones. We may withdraw from things and people that usually make us happy. Therapy at this point is very successful at addressing the symptoms so they do not persist.' I found that not only did therapy help me, but it helped me be more present with my daughter. Instead of just staring at her and crying while we both watch Ms. Rachel on YouTube and survive the day, I was able to take her to the park for a stroll. I smiled at her and we did tummy time. I sang a thousand variations of 'The Wheels on the Bus,' which she adores. Sheperis tells me that the reason for this change is that 'moms who are more mentally healthy have better physical and emotional bonding with their babies — so the health of the new mom helps the health and well being of baby as well.' These days, the fears come and go, and the anxiety rarely gets so unruly. Will she fall and bruise herself as she learns to walk? Could happen. Will I miss her first words? Hopefully not, but I'll be around for others. Will she grow up and decide to go to college across the country and leave me forever? Maybe, but for now she's within arm's reach and I'm doing everything in my control to keep her safe and happy. When the anxieties spiral to another dimension, I have the tools I learned in therapy to reel 'em back to planet earth. : PhD and board certified telemental health provider, professor and chair, Department of Counseling More Top Deals from SheKnows Is Walmart+ Worth It?

I swapped my favorite Lululemon running shorts with a pair from Amazon. Here's how they performed
When the long, hot days of summer roll around, I love lacing up my sneakers and heading out for a jog. For years, I struggled to find athletic shorts that would sit securely on my waist without riding up or constricting my thick thighs. Lululemon's Fast and Free shorts are consistently praised for being some of the most comfortable and flattering running shorts out there. After my old shorts bit the dust last spring, I decided — after much consideration — to give this $78 pair a go for myself, and they've been my go-to running shorts ever since. But just because I love Lululemon's shorts, doesn't mean I won't consider more affordable alternatives to help keep my summer workout wardrobe stocked. To try and save myself a few hundred dollars, I headed to Amazon and grabbed a pair of the top-rated (and under $30) CRZ Yoga running shorts to see if they could give Lululemon's a run for their money (pun intended). Lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Classic-Fit Split Shorts Lululemon's Fast and Free shorts are beloved by runners for a reason. With hidden pockets to store essentials, an adjustable waistband and a lightweight design, they're the perfect mix between comfort and convenience. They are an investment, but these are the shorts you'll hope are clean the next time you want to pace out some miles in the blistering heat. CRZ Yoga High-Waisted Dolphin Running Shorts An almost identical-looking alternative to the Fast and Free Shorts, these CRZ Yoga Dolphin Shorts are comfortable, available in an array of colors and even made of the same materials as Lululemon's shorts. They lack the thoughtful features that make Lululemon's shorts better suited for running and vigorous workouts, but if all you're after is some lightweight and affordable athleisure, this CRZ Yoga pair hits the mark. 86% Polyester, 14% Elastane 86% Polyester, 14% Elastane 11 21 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, 3 back pockets No 3 inches 3 inches Yes No XXXS to XL XXS to XL On first inspection, the CRZ Yoga Dolphin shorts and the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts look virtually identical. Both have a high-rise waistband that sits comfortably across the lower stomach. I found the stretchy waistband on the CRZ Yoga shorts to be very comfortable and flattering, but it's made of a thicker material than the Lululemon shorts and feels more prone to trapping sweat and heat, which for a sweaty gal like myself, isn't necessarily what I'm looking for in running shorts. Both shorts are cut in a 'dolphin' style, with side slits on both thighs, rounded corners and an overall shorter length designed for uninhibited movement. This specific cut lends itself to a lot of thigh exposure, especially once you start moving. Between the two shorts, the Lululemon pair has a higher slit and less fabric overlap between the front and back panels. While this put more of my thigh on display, it also led to less fabric bunching around the top of my thighs than when I ran in the CRZ Yoga shorts. In addition to their overall lightweight profiles, both shorts have mesh liners for extra coverage and comfort. Neither liner felt too tight or led to extra chafing, but the Lululemon liner stayed in place better during runs and vigorous workouts. The liner in the CRZ Yoga shorts was fine during stretching, sitting or standing, but tended to shift in the innermost part of my thighs when I ran, leading to some awkward readjustments. Lululemon's liner was also thinner, which helped keep things feeling more breathable, even during the hottest and sweatiest of days. While the Lululemon and CRZ Yoga shorts look identical, there's quite a difference between their running performance. You can tell Lululemon's shorts are made with runners in mind. The Fast and Free shorts have three pockets on the back waistband that are big enough to hold running gels, keys or other small items you want to keep close. Previous versions of these shorts also had three pockets, but in an altered layout: two in the front of the waistband and one in the back. The sides of the shorts are also adorned with small reflective dots. They won't give you a ton of visibility if you're running in low light conditions, but it's a runner-oriented detail worth noting. The Lululemon shorts include a drawstring waistband so you can tighten them for a more secure fit. In all honesty, Lululemon's drawstring isn't my favorite; it gets the job done and keeps the shorts in place, but it cinches the fabric around my waist in a way I find unflattering. I think this is more of an issue if you, like me, are between sizes and need to size up for a roomier fit through the hips and thighs, which can leave some extra gapping around the waist. Speaking of sizing, these updated Fast and Free shorts fit differently from Lululemon's previous versions. When I bought these shorts last year, the sizing was numerical — size 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on. Now, Lululemon offers the shorts in alpha sizing — from XXXS up to XL. Since I like the fit of my older Fast and Free shorts, I bought the corresponding letter for the numerical size I already have. When the new shorts arrived, they were much tighter through my hips and shorter in the back than my previous pair. Though they fit and I could have run in them, I ended up returning them and grabbing the next size up for a more comfortable fit. The CRZ Yoga shorts are available in sizes XXS to XL, but had a more true-to-size fit. Sizing issues aside, I still found the Lululemon shorts better for running performance than the CRZ Yoga ones. Though the CRZ Yoga shorts are comfortable and I like how the waistband lies flat against my stomach, there's no way to adjust the fit. This isn't an issue if you're lounging around or doing lighter workouts like stretching or yoga, but while running, I did have to pull the waistband back up multiple times after it slipped down. There are also no pockets on the CRZ Yoga shorts. I prefer to run without a running belt or hip pack if I can, and when I ran in the CRZ Yoga shorts, I had to stuff my house keys into my sports bra, which wasn't ideal. The features on Lululemon's shorts aren't groundbreaking, but at least they're there. Having a place to store your keys or running gels and a mechanism that keeps shorts from sliding down makes all the difference when you're on the move and in the zone. Color options aren't a deal breaker for me when it comes to running shorts, but it never hurts to feel like you can find something that will perfectly match your workout wear aesthetic. Lululemon's shorts come in 11 colors, including two current 'trending colors', which the brand launches seasonally and changes frequently. For instance, even though I bought them less than a month ago, the deep plum color of the Fast and Free shorts I tested isn't available anymore. As someone whose workout wear has been prone to stains from sweat, self-tanner and sunscreen, I tend to steer away from light-colored workout wear. Lululemon only has four colors available right now that I would consider 'dark', with the others leaning more into the pastel color trend of spring. The offerings feel a bit limited, but the seasonal color drops are part of what makes Lululemon feel exclusive and keeps runners repurchasing shorts every season. CRZ Yoga has 21 color options for its running shorts, carrying everything from neutrals like white, black and brown to bold hues like red, pink, green and blue. Though the Sparkle Blue color of the shorts I tested was just as bright and bold in person as it looked on the Amazon page, heavier sweat droplets were visible on the fabric. Though this was not my experience, in some of the reviewer photos, it looks like the mesh liner is visible through the backside of the shorts — mainly with lighter shades like the white, pink and yellow colors. Like I said, limited color options isn't the biggest purchasing factor, but if you're looking for shorts that can match with the rest of your workout wardrobe or more options to rotate into your athleisure outfits, CRZ Yoga has a better selection. If style is all you're after, the CRZ Yoga shorts are pretty much a spot-on silhouette match to the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts. They're comfortable, come in an array of vibrant colors and can be worn for an array of workouts. Just bear in mind that you might have to readjust them often, and they're not outfitted with pockets to store your essentials or an adjustable waistband. For true performance in your running shorts, Lululemon's shorts are the better pick. Lighter and designed with a drawstring waistband, pockets and a breathable mesh liner that won't slide around, the Fast and Free shorts put runners at the forefront. You might have to size up for the best fit, but summer runners — myself included — will enjoy reaching for these shorts again and again. Do the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts or the CRZ Yoga running shorts have mesh liners? Do the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts or the CRZ Yoga running shorts have mesh liners? Yes, both the Lululemon Fast and Free and the CRZ Yoga running shorts have mesh liners. While both liners were comfortable to wear and didn't feel too tight, I found that the Lululemon liner stayed in place better during runs and vigorous workouts. I also found the liner in the Lululemon shorts to be thinner and more breathable on especially hot days. Are the CRZ Yoga or the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts heavier? Are the CRZ Yoga or the Lululemon Fast and Free shorts heavier? CRZ Yoga lists the weight of its shorts as 92 grams or about 3.2 ounces. To check, I weighed both shorts at home using my kitchen scale. The CRZ Yoga shorts came in slightly heavier than stated, weighing in at 125 grams, though it's possible that size variations could explain the difference here. Lululemon's shorts felt lighter in my hand than the CR Yoga shorts, but the brand doesn't list the weight for its Fast and Free shorts on its site. The Lululemon shorts weighed in at 114 grams on my kitchen scale. All in all, you don't notice the 11-gram difference while you're moving, since both shorts have a lightweight feel overall. Which brand's running shorts has more color options: CRZ Yoga or Lululemon? Which brand's running shorts has more color options: CRZ Yoga or Lululemon? The CRZ Yoga shorts are currently available in 21 colors, while the Lululemon shorts come in 11.

Priyanka Chopra Slips Into a Sleek Silver Maxi Dress for a Night out in NYC
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Priyanka Chopra is championing the slinky maxi dress for the summer—and it's working for her. On Tuesday evening, the actor attended the world premiere of her new film, Heads of State, in a sleek silver gown. She posed for photos on the red carpet at New York City's Alice Tully Hall in the maxi dress, which nodded to the '90s with its halter neckline and minimalist flare. To go with her metallic look, the actor donned straight, slicked-back hair, which was tucked behind her ears to showcase her dangly diamond drop earrings. For footwear, Chopra slipped into a pair of elegant black pointed-toe pumps. While on the red carpet, Chopra posed with Heads of State costars Idris Elba and John Cena, who looked dapper in their sophisticated suits. Out on the town after the premiere, the White Tiger actor threw on an extra layer in the form of a silver Chanel wrap that matched her dress. Amid her New York City press tour this week, the star has rocked a variety of glamorous looks, including several slinky dresses. While attending a recent screening of her new Amazon Prime action-comedy, Chopra beat the New York heat in a breezy, white, goddess-like draped maxi dress that was equipped with airy slide slits. Taking a quick break from press events on Sunday, the Quantico star slipped into another slinky style for a date night with husband Nick Jonas. The actor turned heads in a slouchy red Bottega Veneta jersey dress, which featured a plunging neckline and a knot-gathered, side-draped skirt.
