Could I have a private post please love,
Sorry for the long post and please no bashing, it is a sensitive subject.
Does anybody have intrusive thoughts about their children?
I constantly think something bad is going to happen to my daughter or myself and I’m not going to see her grow up, it is getting to a point where I cry myself to sleep at night thinking about what would happen if she was kidnapped or killed. I’ve often thought about the easiest way to kill myself if, God forbid, anything ever happened to her. Or what I would say at her funeral, if I could carry the coffin by myself. Etc
I think about her being kidnapped, tortured, raped. All sorts! It’s horrible and it’s making me ill, there’s nights where I sit on her bedroom floor while she’s asleep until I literally can’t keep my eyes open. I don’t know what’s wrong with me! It’s not every day but most days, something will trigger it like a story on the news and that’s it then for days.
I know it’s sick and the thoughts literally make me want to throw up but I just can’t get it out of my mind!
Thank you for reading x

Could you reply to my post please Hun x
Thank you so much girls! You don’t even know how much better it has made me feel knowing I’m not the only one, I literally thought I was a freak, losing my mind!! My daughter is 3 so I didn’t think it could be Pnd as thought she was too old but I’m definitely going to speak to my doctor.
It’s a horrible feeling and it takes over my life, I thought if I spoke to the doctor they would of this gut I was fucked in the head and sectioned me 😂. All jokes aside though, thank you all very much! X
I have this mostly every day. Have really bad anixity. I am in therapy doing CBT. It is helping me slowly but surely and it is really hard to stop the thoughts. Please go and see your G.P they will be able to refer you. X
can i just say, you are not alone, ive had horrible horrible thoughts for the last 21 years, the only thing my doctor could say that triggered my thoughts,depression was watching my mother in law pass away from cancer, medication as helped but i still to this day fear things are going to happen to me or one of my family, i know i,m not alone, it helped me talking to a friend who also had these thoughts, my advice to you go see your gp and tell them how you feel, they wont think your sick or silly xx
I’m the same, my whole pregnancy I was convinced I’d have a stillbirth, when she born I couldn’t sleep because I was convinced she’d die of cot death, I had really intrusive thoughts and was diagnosed with PND. I’m back on medication for it now, having previously been on citalopram for depression pre pregnancy. Even now I have to check she’s breathing when she’s asleep or when she’s eating I’m convinced she’ll choke and I’ll not be able to help her 😣 just know you are not alone, try to speak to your doctor ❤❤
I have been thru this, I was convinced my 1st born was going to die of something horrific or have a horrid accident. After having my 2nd child I was diagnosed with PND, the doctors think I had PND with my first child just it was laid dormant until I gave birth again. I would suggest talking to your doctor and seeing if they can help, mine is so so much better now I’ve got the right help. I no longer think bad things until I feel sick or think “random” horrid thoughts. Hope you can get the help you need xx
I was the same Hun 🙁 when I first got my son home I literally refused to sleep I used to watch his chest go up and down when he was asleep because I was convinced he was going to die of cot death it got to the point my ex partner got in touch with my mum worried sick about me x I still get them now, still think about what I’d do if I lost him and worry so much when he’s not with me x you’re not sick and you’re not alone just go and see your doctor about it xxx
I’m sorry to ask but I can I ask how old your daughter is? I suffered from this from pregnancy until my lg was about 2/3 *shes 4 now* it was all due to my PND that I had no clue about I thought I was crazy! During pregnancy and after the birth no one ever discussed it with me so I had no clue of the symptoms but I ticked every single box and along with that came horrific nightmares to the point I would run crying into my lg room to make sure she was there in the middle of the night! In the end I had a little counselling cause I didn’t want tablets and I trained myself how to deal with it and it eventually went away! Sorry for the long post it may not be helpful but just know you are not alone in this! Xx❤️
yep my son is 17 months and i’m exactly the same. every night when i lay in bed, i have those thoughts. and i end up crying myself to sleep. it’s so horrible. even if i want to stop thinking about it, i can’t. i thought i was the only one but it’s a relief to know i’m not alone!! x
I have been like this a few times with both of my 2, even when we went on holiday all i could think was what if something bad happens i am on anti depressants and really struggle with anxiety which i think may be a big factor in it, go and see your doctor and see what they say, its a really horrible thing to be going through, mine are 9 and 11 and i get it on and off xxx
I’m exactly the same doctor told me it’s a big part Of anxiety Hun and a type if OCD related to anxiety I’m currently on medication which is proving helpful hope your ok! Your not alone 🙂 xx
Sounds like anxiety. Its really common so dont be worried. Go and have a chat witn your gp they will suggest ways to help. Sometimes just admiting it and talking helps x
Yes I had this as part of my pnd, it was awful.
I had cbt and anxiety meds to help.
Can’t remember the last time I had a thought like this now and daughter is 21 months 😊
This sounds like I could have written It, I wonder is there any other of controlling it rather than medication?? I really dont want to take any tablets etc
Been there convinced my first born was going to die n still at times I have visions of something bad happening to her she’s 6 now speak to ur doctor ♥️
Yep it depression anxiety and a form of OCD u need see a doc also they can give u a number to talk to some one over the phone to help
Don’t leave it though as only gets worse xx
This is why I refuse to watch the new Hun as I was the same with my son honestly any noise on a night I would think someone’s coming to get him it’s awful x
You’re not alone! It’s so horrible I’m the exact same it totally takes over your mind. I have pnd and anxiety after having my boys but i got medication and it’s helped. Definitely go see you gp mrs ❤️ xxx
Definitely not alone. My daughter is 13 months and I’m exactly the same x
Sounds like a form of pnd anxiety based go see your gp or speak to someone you trust x
I get this I fault I was alone to 😥. I’m always so worried.. xx
Sounds like anxiety and ocd. I also have these and other things. What does your therapist say? Maybe talk to your psychiatrist about some anti anxiety meds.
I thought I was the only one, I’m exactly the same😭 xx
