new here, please be gentle

[mamacool]

Hi everyone I'm from London and have been suffering from OCD for as long as i can remember. I taught myself ways to live with it mainly by giving in to all impulses or drinking myself unconscious when it all became too much, However, I recently gave birth to my beautiful baby boy and can no longer keep on top of things like I used to nor do I have the option of drinking myself senceless so I am getting help.

I start CBT next week and am absolutely pooing myself, just the thought of having to face my fears turns my stomach and sends my head into a frenzy. I wish I had more strength but at the moment I don't think I can go through with it.
