Hi, young mum love my son dearly! I've struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember, I got referred to the depression and anxiety service by gp, I went to my first few appointments now they've decided to put me through to the mental health team due to a suspected personality disorder and a form of OCD (known as pure O). I've had a lot of trouble with social services whilst pregnant ( I was a really bad teenager did a lot of drugs etc so I see why they were involved,) they treated me awfully but I made it through and managed to get signed off before my son was born, thus me and Fin getting on fine no other concerns! I'm just extremely worried that it will open that can of worms! My counsellor from the depression and anxiety service has absolutely zero concerns for his safety, but I'm worried that going to someone more official and being diagnosed with such a disorder alongside the ocd would redflag me as such! I've come so far and everything I've done is for him, if he was to go into care I don't think I could cope.
Thanks for your replies, please be honest with your experiences:) I'd rather know to cancel before it's too late.
