It’s so odd, at first I felt that happiness as I brought him home from hospital. Enjoyed people being introduced to him. Then wham an intrusive thought and image occurred and it seemed to escalate from there. Sort of each image seeming a bit more vile than the last one.
I end up just arguing mentally with myself and trying to convince myself but OCD won’t let you be convinced which is frustrating. I just end up depressed and in tears. I feel like it’s robbing me of the enjoyment I should be having with him right now. It really hurts inside cos I love him to bits.
Hopefully I can get some therapy which will help xx
