This is my first time on the site and I'm really comforted knowing there's other people out there who feel the same way I do. I've felt so alone for a long time.
I've suffered with health anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember, CBT helped me a lot but I had my son in March and since then my anxiety has come back a hundred times worse. I'm convinced I'm going to die and leave my son without his mum. I'm convinced I either have epilepsy or a brain tumour and even though the doctor told me she didn't think I did I still can't get these thoughts out of my head. I Google obsessively and find new things to check myself for, but the worst part is I've started checking my baby now too.
I'm terrified he's going to get seriously ill and panic if he even throws up a little. I don't want him to grow up and inherit my behaviours.
I love him so much and want to be able to enjoy being a mum without worrying obsessively.
