Over thinking everything

Hi I am a mum to a 6 year old little boy, these last few years have been so tough, my little boy was permanently excluded from school, he has sen needs we think he has adhd. I’ve always been an anxious person and possible ocd, i went on antidepressants a few years ago and i managed to come off them. I think I possibly have pmdd or just really struggle with my hormones as my moods can be quite unstable sometimes. My thoughts seem to take me down if I let them! Lately I’ve been more on a level I think, I just want to be the best mum I can to my son but my brain just overthinks everything, it’s like am I doing that because I want to be a good mum or I want people to think I’m a good mum and feeling like I’m not doing things for the right reasons. (My dad is a narc so I’m petrified to be like him) I honestly couldn’t get if people didn’t think I was a good mum I just want to genuinely be a good mum to my son and for him to grow up happy and healthy but my brain is just constantly analysing myself!! Does anyone else have this??

Sounds like your child’s issues stem from you ADHD runs in families and very few have it if a parent doesn’t.

U mean it sounds like I may have adhd? Or I’ve caused him issues how I am?
