Not anle to change my profile from anonymous ugh.

@Rcope09 How long did it last? What was it focused on . It feels like itll never end. What meds / treatment worked for u

@Anonymous It started setting in about two weeks after I had my son. I kept having thoughts that I might sexually abuse my baby. It was horrific. I got into a psych and they put me on Lexapro and Risperidone. I did not receive counseling because the meds took care of the problem. Are you receiving treatment for it?

@Rcope09 Im on prozac currently scared to take more meds but desperate to fix the problem.

@Rcope09 Did they try to take ur kids im fearful of all this bs

@Rcope09 When u say u got into a psych was it outpatient or u went to a psych ward

@Robyn🪴🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 This is horrific! Mine isn’t that I’m worried I’ll do it but just when I was having sexually intrusive thoughts about ANYONE.. then the sticky thought attached to Jesus and my baby. And I’ve been wrecked since. Not that I’m afraid it’ll happen but just can’t get over that my brain fused this togehter and I’ve been dwelling for 3 wks over it. How did you heal and go back to love being a mom? OCD has robbed so much from me in these past wks.

@Anonymous I healed with ERP therapy. Are you working with an OCD specialist?

@Robyn🪴🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 Yes

@Anonymous That’s great that you are working with an OCD specialist. For me it did take some time but everyone is different. I will tell you this though, my journey has made me the best mom I can be! And because I have learned to change my behavior, I can model better behavior for my son. I am able to help him through his emotional moments. I love everything about being a mom. If you had told me two years ago that I could feel this way, I would never believe you! It does get better. It just takes a little time.❤️

@Robyn🪴🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 That is so reassuring! Mine has truly wrecked me however I feel with meds and therapy it’s getting better! Did meds help make the thoughts go away? Mine is more I constantly worry all day I have an intrusive thought so my mind just obsesses all day I can’t think of anything but! When do the meds take that away too?? Hearing you say this makes you a better mama is so healing for me! Cause I have these fears I’ll never be able to enjoy my motherhood again afraid my thoughts! Ugh

@Anonymous I 100% understand the feeling of being defeated in every way. For me, the meds did not make the thoughts go away. The meds treated my depression and anxiety caused by my OCD. ERP is what helped me with my thoughts. And they don’t go away, more like you take their power away from them so you do ruminate and dwell on them like you did before treatment. The longer you are in ERP therapy the more you will recognize patterns of negative behavior and learn how to change it. Do you like to read? I really enjoyed The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris. It’s a great ACT self help book to do along with your therapy. You will enjoy your motherhood again!!❤️

@Robyn🪴🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 How long did it take your meds to kick in enough you felt a difference?

@Robyn🪴🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 Do you have ig? I was wondering if I msg you for some support
