OCD/intrusive thoughts

Junuh44

Anyone else have pp OCD/ unwanted thoughts? Mine comes in waves and seems to be worse when I am tired. I know this can be normal but it scares me. I did start taking Zoloft 25 mg yesterday with the hopes for some relief.

I wandered over from Aug13 on a suggestion and saw this and almost cried with relief. I had heard of ppd and ppa but was totally unaware that intrusive thoughts were a normal thing. I had struggled with bipolar disorder and impulse disorder as a child and was very surprised to have it come back so quick and full force. I have been working with my midwife and taking sam-e supplements which has helped but I hated myself for having these awful thoughts intrude unwanted even though I wasn't "depressed". It took a while before I was able to admit these thoughts were happening since I thought since it wasn't ppd or ppa it must just be something wrong with me.  I'm so happy to find I am not alone and glad I can say you are not alone either.
