Reply To: Post partum OCD?

I have struggled a bit today with feeling low in myself.    Feeling like I’ve done something wrong, that I have spoiled things, failed as a new mum and how could I possibly think/have images of things like this about my beautiful baby who I love dearly.     Gutted that they ever had to cross my mind.    But I guess being a anxiety and OCD sufferer prior to pregnancy was going to have an effect somewhere..   think I was probably perfectionistic in my expectations of how it would be after coming home but now these ocd thoughts have occurred it feels like it’s spoilt everything.    Hubby keeps saying you haven’t done anything wrong, you haven’t spoilt anything.     Why oh why though won’t that stick in my brain? Yet my brain happily believes the worst ? x
