ABOUT ME

i was diagnosed with postpartum ocd when i gave birth about 10 months ago. i had a c-section and as soon as i came out of surgery i wasnt myself i was serverly anxious, when i got home from from hospital i started having crazy thoughts about the baby. i didnt know what was wrong with me. i begged my husband to take me to a mental hospital. but went to therpy and found out it was ocd. i have been down a very hard road and am still going down it. its hard to give birth and be a completely different person than you where before giving birth. i just want my life back.

Hey how are you? I'm feeling a little better. Today is the first morning that I have been alone with the baby so I am a little anxious. The thoughts aren't coming so often now but they are still there. I just can't convince myself that I'm not going to go crazy. I go to my first therapy session tomorrow so that should be good. I keep reading things that say psychosis usually starts within the 1st 2 weeks and I'm past that but I still can't convince myself because I keep thinking about the website that says it can develop within the 1st 6 weeks. Anyway I hope to get past this soon. Thanks for all of your support. I just wish I could convince myself now.

yes that would be great if you could give me the number of the person you speak with. How does that work? Does it cost anything? It's so good to know that someone else has been through this. The thoughts seem so real you know? and it's really hard to convince yourself that it is just OCD. I feel like a failure, and I feel like I am not strong. I feel like the more I fight it the more I obsess. It's very hard to deal with. I hope my new meds kick in soon. This really stinks. I do try to hold my baby and take care of him. I hate having the thoughts while I am holding him, it is terrifying. Anyway thanks for being there. i really appreciate your support.
