Intrusive thoughts 😭🤧

Very much! Had it bad with my first and it's happened all over again this time, especially when I'm trying to sleep! But it's perfectly normal, just absolutely horrifying at the same time 😭

Yup! I’ve had intrusive thoughts for as long as I can remember but they definitely got worse after I had my first. They go in waves but generally since I’ve had kids they’ve remained loud 🙃

Yes! It really weighs heavy on you. It was particularly bad with my first. The worst was waking up and thinking she was tangled in the duvet and would be panic searching for her and she was in the bassinet. It got better for me from about 6+ months, maybe hormones balancing out a bit more by then. I’ll still get them on & off but not as intense as that initial period. Now have my second and it’s a little bit like this again but not as bad as that first time but seems to of elevated it again even for thoughts about my toddler as well as new baby. I currently keep seeing her fall out of a window as we are in a top floor flat. Anyways I feel a bit stronger to dismiss them. Thankfully they are all about safety/anxiety/external factors for them being rather than myself doing anything which I know can affect women. Don’t be afraid to seek help. I didn’t have therapy in place last time so this time I set up sessions to help manage and think it helps.
