Should I contact HV over this? Anxious thoughts

[ClarissaDarling]

I don't know whether to contact HV or if I'm just being silly due to a culmination of things. My lovely cousin recently tragically had a still birth just at about 7 months, we are all devastated and I have feelings of guilt as I have a beautiful healthy baby, my anxiety has increased (and this is where I think I'm being a bit irrational!) since I've seen trailers for the new Trainspotting film. For some reason I'm now having nightmares about the scene with the baby on the ceiling and SIDS so having to check on DC frequently throughout night and anytime he falls asleep in day am just exhausted. I don't know if HV could do anything so would it be pointless saying anything?

Do say something, it might calm you to know she cares and she may be able to offer you some comfort x

Thanks Gin I will- can be sitting just quite happily then get ice cold dread so am starting to thibk need to nip it in bud.

Do mention it. I'm prone to anxiety and need to recognise my triggers. They're often strange, intrusive, upsetting thoughts that flash into my mind out of nowhere.
The HV would very likely refer you to other professionals who can help.
