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.
