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 😊 :) ♡

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 ♡ :)

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?

I’ve always had ocd. But never experienced pocd until after I got pregnant and was fixing to deliver. Anyone else? I’ve been struggling with this for almost 2 years 😩 and Prozac gives me heart palpitations I’m at my breaking point. Idk who I am anymore. And it’s so hard having to be a mother of two on top of not wanting to do anything bc my brain tells me everything I’m doing is inappropriate ☹️

So I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I’m freaking out rn I’ve been getting thoughts like “I’ll be a bad mum” and overthinking everything & my OCD is convincing me that I’ll act on my thoughts because of my hormones and stuff. I’ve also got a fear of being sick & I’m stressing over that too. Anyone else who has harm OCD pregnant or a Mum can give me some advice pls😭
