Anxiety, OCD - feeling a little overwhelmed as a new mum again

[Motherofmany87]

I am a mum of 7. My eldest 6 are aged between 21 and 10. I became a mum again 7 months ago to a beautiful baby boy. You'd think I'd be an expert by now wouldn't you! But suffering with generalised anxiety disorder, OCD and being a mum again at 39 is proving absolutely exhausting! Are there any other mums here that started again and finding it a bit harder this time around?

Hi there,
Welcome to the site - we are just bumping your request back up to the top of the queue as it seems to have slipped through the cracks a little. We'll keep your thread in Parenting at the moment but it might better be placed in Mental Health, don't worry, we can make that change if we need to.
We also think that a slight tweak to the title might help so we'll do that too. Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a grim time right now and congratulations on your beautiful boy! 🌷
