Postnatal OCD

I have been struggling since my little one was born with postnatal OCD. For me, this means that I obsess over the way people interact with him and I am particularly scared about people touching him. This started out as a discomfort to begin with and is now a full blown fear which causes me to clean him and myself regularly. I believe he is going to die or be seriously injured by something he catches and I find myself unable to leave the house some days due to my fear. I feel very alone in this and so I am simply putting it out into the world like this in the hope that someone may have experienced the same and that I am not alone. I feel disappointed that I am unable to enjoy him as I should and the closer Christmas comes the more fearful I become over seeing people.

@Lynsey953 I'm so sorry that you're feeling like this and I'm also sorry that you haven't had anyone answer you yet.

That doesn't mean that you're alone, this section can just be a bit quiet.

Do you have a DH/DP abc have you managed to tell them how you feel yet? Flowers
