Hi all,
I’ve been feeling very anxious since my baby was born over three months ago. Just general health anxiety and worrying thoughts that baby could come to harm when out and about. Things like a car hitting us in the pram or someone spilling coffee on her in a coffee shop etc.
I thought it would get better but Its becoming quite exhausting so I’ve self referred for therapy through the NHS website - just doing that made me feel a bit better. Anyway I’ve just had the triage call today and the lady was very nice but the asked what my daughters name was as she said they need to know of any child in the house under 18. I’m now beside myself that they are going to call social services and she’ll be taken off me until I’m better. Will they refer me to social services? I’m terrified, my husband will be so upset with me (haven’t told him how I’m feeling as I don’t want to upset or worry him).
Can I call back and ask them to not do that? I’m so worried, I wish I’d never called up and just sorted it myself.
