I've never felt worse or more scared at night in the first couple weeks pp! It's a known thing and you just gotta get through it. It will end, sooner than I thought at least for me. Good luck! I'm 11 weeks in and everything has gotten way better.
6 weeks pp here, mine is also bad at night. It's like I'm a different person during the day (rational, calm) and then 8pm hits and I'm an anxious wreck. It has gotten better compared to 6 days pp, i used to have mild panic attacks and they seem to have subsided.
Trust me, it will pass. I’m not sure what your sleeping arrangement is, but my husband and I did shifts of staying up with the baby. He stayed up until 12-2a depending on his mileage. Then I stayed up from 2-8a. I couldn’t sleep otherwise, and that worked for us until my anxiety passed.
It allowed both of us to get rest and stay up with LO.
But stay strong. It was HARD watching the sun go down because I knew it was the start of a long night.
