I just wanted to add a positive thread to all the ladies needing it!
I was very ill with ocd and anxiety. Convinced i was bad and mad i felt that I did not have an illness and this altered thinking and awful thoughts were here to stay. 2 years after diagnoses, I felt i was recovering, however, I would relapse during illness, times of the month and when i was hungover. I could go days without thoughts but they had not gone completely so felt that they would always be apart of me. Another year has gone by and I can say 100% that I love my children and feel the love that I thought I would never feel. I 100% believe that I am a good person and I was just ill. I was convinced of otherwise and now, I actually believe I am fully recovered and I have once again found out who I am. I do get terrible health anxiety and I admit i do panic and worry about things. These things however are due to personal loss and I have always been negative so I don't believe they are a symptom of ppi. I am just a mum who loves my girls and wants to be there for them always.
Anyway, I wont go on! you will get through this, Just stay honest, confide in people you trust , keep busy (i cleaned...Alot!) and be strong and one day you will be able to write a positive recovery story too!. xx

Kate, thank you for sharing your story, its is inspirational to read of recovery and it does give you hope when your in the blackest place. I could have written that myself, i'm now fully recovered from the horrible illness that is pni but i too still get worried and anxious, thats just a normal part of life unfortunately. I too suffered at the time of the month, hangovers etc and i too cleaned alot!!! my house always (and still does!) sparkle! lol but i dont suppose thats a bad thing? Well done for getting where you are now and thanks again for sharing xx
