Just got sent into a panic
I struggle with a harm theme that surrounds my daughter. Someone on Facebook posted about a mother who had a psychotic break and killed her children. I started breathing heavy. My hands went numb. My chest went into a panic. It sent me into a cycle of worry and panic that I’d hurt my baby. I started crying. I don’t want to hurt my baby. And then because I get these intrusive thoughts it sent me down a hole of what I’d I have post partum psychosis. I then started my googling and saw that I had the symptoms of PPOCD and not PPP. And I felt better almost immediately. I was doing so good and now I feel like I’m doing bad again. I’m scared repeats in my head all the time. I am literally terrified I will hurt my baby. I feel like this isn’t normal. I’m so scared something is wrong with me. I love my daughter so much it hurts. I wish I could be like every other mom and think normally but here I am. Please tell me I’m not the only one. Someone tell me they also have intrusive thoughts of doing absolutely horrible things to their child. Tell me I’m not crazy.
