Hoping someone in this forum can shed some light or at least relate. I've had intrusive thoughts over the years. Several about being a paedophile and once about being a lesbian (nothing wrong with this BTW). Now it's surrounding my child I'm more distressed. I'm panicking that I don't love her and I'm just pretending that I do or that I don't recognise them or what if I forget their face. The more I try to tell myself I do obviously love them i feel like I'm trying to hard to convince myself. It's that horrible pit feeling stomach and I can't stop. I have made a call with GP re meds to start once. I get courage and today for CBT.
