I am so scared I have this my Health anxitey has picked up on it and I suddenly have the symptoms...
I keep obsessing I haven't bonded with the baby and becoming really anxious like 'omg I didn't say her name etc' that means I have it or I get a thought like 'oh I don't love her' then my ha picks at that and I feel anxious so I start searching posts or stories about peoples symptoms of PND and as you know I have EVERYTHING that is on that list...I've even taken online questionaires..
I don't get how I think I have it when I'm happy and keep kissing her.. but then I get this thing in the back of my head going 'oh maybe you are just tricking yourself and you do have it :doh:'
I'm fighting the temptation to run to the Dr's and ask her if I have it :wacko: Last week it was post natal physcosis until she said in a stern way 'you dont have that at all'
I keep looking for reassurance that I don't have it as well talking to people who have just had babies etc asking 'oh has it sunk in yet' and feeling desperate for them to say no and when they do it still doesn't take away this stupid fear...
Does this sound like typical health anxitey? I feel like panicy when someone even says the word I don't know what I think would happen if I did have it even!! Then when I told my friend my anxious thoughts she went oh it could be and I wanted to hide under my quilt!!
