intrusive thoughts

This is normal, being a new mum is scary and you’re going to constantly be worried for a while. I struggled so much with intrusive thoughts bc unfortunately most people around me didn’t quite understand what i meant. Just know that you are doing amazing, feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to🥰

My post partum anxiety got really bad from 4-7 months post partum. I think it’s very common for mums to go through stages . Especially when the sleep deprivation hits and there is a huge hormon swing by then. Don’t feel scared about speaking to your close family and friends about what is happening or to reach out to your doctor. You might just need a little extra support right now. But it is just q chapter . These horrible thoughts will pass xxxx

Hey I’m diagnosed OCD and Separation Anxiety so intrusive thoughts are my jam. It’s normal to a degree but I’m not sure whereabouts you are but it might be worth asking your midwife/health visitor if your area has a perinatal mental health team, they’ll be able to organise some support for you whether that be medication or coping strategies or just someone to speak to for reassurance, I know mental health has a huge stigma that comes with it when you’re a parent but honestly seeing the perinatal mental health team was the best decision I ever made :) xx
