I'm not a mom, one day I know I will be, and I am a sister.. I can understand in a certain way. I have had a lot of friends and family members who have felt the way (or a similar way) that you're feeling. All I know is that when anyone of them were in that kind of boat, they came to a friend, a sister or their own mothers, a professional helper, and sometimes sought help and comfort, or an ear and a hug from even a stranger. Talk to someone who will listen and you know will not judge and love you for everything you are. You're human, it's okay. You're loved, even I care about you and we've never met. I hope you have a good day or good evening @RC 😊 :) ♡
Thank you for the support. :) Yes I see a therapist and have a virtual support group. It just gets so hard and lonely here at 3 am when my baby won't sleep.
Hey! I know a lot of mom's which said this playlist helped them through sleepless nights with their young ones Both mum and baby liked it.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o9DU26kNvmM ❤️
Yes I am a fellow mother with post partum ocd/anxiety! 🙋♀️ how old are you and how old is your little one? Where are you from? I don’t see many of our kind here!! 😂
Oh cool! I'm from the central valley! What about you?
Haha no way! I am too 🤣
You are close to the bay then right? How cool! I suffer from a few themes actually and they are all the "pure O" type. I still feel embarrassed to list them even though I know that they are just ocd themes. I have trouble with just right ocd, moral scrupulosity, false memory, pocd, relationship ocd, and a little harm & sexual orientation ocd. So yeah like basically all them lol 🤦♀️ What about you?
Yes! I struggle with pretty much all of them too 😒 pocd, contamination, false memory/real event, existential, those are my current themes. But I’ve literally had them all. When I was younger I had harm and sexual orientation as well. Wowww I’m so happy to have found a fellow new mom that also struggles with the same themes that is also in California 😭 it’s so comforting ❤️ lol do you have a so. Or daughter?
3am here too. I have had a lot of babies around in the family growing up and even more so now that older cousins are having families. I have kid brother who I've helped all my life, and it was hard. And in the end, truly one of the best things I have had happen to me in my life. He's so annoying and so adorable at the same time, he's so stubborn, brilliant and kind, and super weird. He's my lil best friend! :) I love him even if sometimes I don't have to like him, and I am thankful and grateful that he's in my life and that I'm in his. When the world seems dark he seems to be a kind of light. I'm so glad you see a thrapist and have a virtual support group, they both helped me in a time of need for certain things growing up ♡ :)
@Freemeofocd HI! I am 27 and my baby is going to be 2 months old in 3 days! We are from California. What about you?
I am 29 and my baby turns 1 tomorrow! And I am also from california! Which part?
What really lol I'm from Fresno!
I used to live in Fresno! And Clovis! But I’m in Tracy now ☺️ so cool!! What type of ocd do you suffer with? Any particular theme?
*son or daughter
Same here, it is comforting to know that I am not alone! Having a baby triggered postpartum anxiety, ocd and depression. I have had chronic depression & anxiety plus ocd for 7 or so years now. But i stopped all meds during the pregnancy. And like 4 days after his birth I got bad ppd symptoms! He is a boy :) what about you?
any moms on here?? I'm a first time mom and had a baby two months ago. my ocd is back with a vengeance. I'm struggling and just looking for people I can talk to who understand what I'm going through. I don't want to worry anybody so I've been keeping things to myself but it's hard.
Hi everyone, grateful to be here and share. Can any new mamas share how long it took for them to get over their postpartum OCD? I know everyone is different and I’m grateful to be in ERP since August, but having been experiencing heightened OCD since April. My son is a blessing and super easy, but just wondering if any mamas can share their success stories. Thanks!
Hello! Wondering if any ladies can speak to hormones and OCD/anxiety? New mom here and I’m noticing OCD symptoms and anxiety being odd the charts when my hormones are funky. Also… I know the lack of sleep and overall lack of self care doesn’t help. Lol. Taking baby steps over here 🤣
