Trigger warning intrusive thoughts of harm

my son is already two
and i went through this and still do honestly. 🙁

This is actually really common! Can be anything from general anxiety to ppd or pp ocd etc. The important thing to realise is the fact you find this thought distressing means you have no desire to do it! Id recommend reading some ocd resources on dealing with intrusive thoughts (these resources are normally more comprehensive tools, not saying you have ocd) while awaiting further help. If you havent already also reach out to your health visitor and asked to be signposted on to maternal mh support charities x

That's a good idea I will try that thank you. I have had mild ocd and severe anxiety before which might be why this has occurred now. Thank you 😊

Could be OCD or anxiety related. I had it too from newborn until around 4months postpartum. It was awful. Therapy helped loads and learning more about it helped me to feel less afraid of myself.

I hope you get the support you need. This must be quite frightening for you. If you can speak to family if you have any, to see if you can get some physical support with baby
