Reply To: Post partum OCD?

Thank you for your reply, it’s really bad me very depressed and feeling like I have messed up as a first time mum.     I know deep down I’d never hurt him, but each day OCD seems to make me guilty as if I’ve either done something or would.  It’s an horrendous feeling.   It seems no matter how much I reason with myself nothing works and it’s like living in a constant state of fear.

My husband keeps telling me look he’s a happy boy and he loves you, the proof is there in front of you, the way he looks at you, the way he feels safe enough to sleep on you for example.   It just doesn’t convince me somehow.

Hugs back xx
