As a new mother, the well being and welfare of your baby will be the strongest driving force in you, and that is very powerul. I am not surprised you are anxious about passing permanently out of the body at a time like this! That, to me, sounds perfectly natural!
That is the very last thing you would want to happen right now, as you have a child to raise on Earth.
I have found any kind of anxiety attacks can almost feel as if they are 'imposed' as they happen so suddenly, and are hard if not impossible to push away. But it is unlikely these attacks are caused by another Being.
I have also found that they pass naturally....sometimes in minutes, but most often in an hour or two. What can help is just being AWARE that they will pass....that it's something you know, has happened before and you came through fine. Usually any form of distractions won't work. It's usually a question of holding onto your knees, not getting too scared, and breathing slowly and regularly, and telling yourself all will be well when it passes over. If as it is passing, you cry a little then that is okay and it's just tension releasing itself.
I have had a few anxiety attacks, usually the result of loss and trauma, but never chose to go down the anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug route to assist me with them; just used my own instinctive strategies (which worked for me).
Obviously some kind of counselling or "talk therapy" might possibly help, and there may be other natural strategies to help you in the midst of an anxiety attack.
