Has anyone ever suffered from this or can offer advice? My son is 15 weeks and I think I may have post natal anxiety. I tend to get really awful intrusive thoughts mostly when I’m trying to sleep or when he’s with someone else. I will give a few examples. I was having lunch with my mum and the baby at a restaurant which had a long flight of stairs at the entrance. I spent most of lunch secretly panicking that I was going to trip down the stairs on the way out or somehow drop the baby down the stairs. If we’re out walking I am often worried that a car is going to come up the kerb and crash into us. I can’t relax if anyone else is looking after him. My mum took him out for a walk so I could sleep but I was worrying the whole time that something awful would happen when they were out. When I’m trying to get to sleep at night I’m often bombarded with awful thoughts about something terrible happening to my baby and how I couldn’t bare to live without him. It doesn’t consume me all the time and actually for the majority of the time we are very happy and I’m not thinking this way. I’m just aware that these thoughts are very extreme and they leave my feeling very anxious. Does anyone else experience this or have any advice on how to deal with it?
