I have started having terrible thoughts again it seems beta blockers are not really helping its so frustrating I seem to get a bit better and then the thoughts start flooding back and I feel like I am going to hurt my little boy again I'm finding things really hard now just hope something changes soon

Hi
Are you taking antids as well as beta blockers? Do go back to drs . I'm afraid I don't know much about the beta blockers - how are they supposed to work? Lower anxiety? Maybe try different antids? I know with most antids it can take several weeks for them to kick in and a few months to get the full benefit.
I took citalopram and even though it hugely helped me I was still prone to 'blips' - ups and downs.
You mentioned you feel worse am. Many women say this and I'm not sure why this the case. Hope ur day improvesxl

The anti d take up to six weeks. In my case it took a lot of trial and error till I found the combination that got me better. go back and talk to your gp again if that's no good try the health visitor

Hi
Haven't been here fir a while as started coping quite well however last night I had a dream that has made me really worried again. Is it normal for the intrusive thoughts to then start becoming dreams ? I'm terrified of this dream happening again :0(

Hi
Glad you've been doing well. Try not to dwell on this. I find if I worried then this can manifest itself in dreams and because you've had pni recently you are more sensitive to any worries. It's normal that this feeling of unease will remain with you this am maybe today but hopefully after a good nights sleep you'll feel fine tomozx

Agree with Monica intrusive thoughts and dreams come from our animal brain and subconscious do don't worry. :-) hope last night was easier

Thanks I feel a little better about that but something else happened yesterday. I was playing with my son when a make voice popped into my head and told me to do something to him which I won't say but it was horrible. I am now really worried that I am going crazy and will start hearing voices all of the time is this something I should be concerned about as I know psychosis involves hearing voices. It wasn't like somebody was in the room it was just in my head but scared the life out of me and I any stop thinking about it I'm starting to feel really down in the dumps :0(

That's an intrusive thought think of it like this you are feeling crap your brain is constantly generating random thoughts when we are healthy we just ignore them but whilst we have pni it's like we hear them and they are horrible often the worse thing possible and we obcess over it. I always call them punishment thoughts. :-)

Hi
Sorry I didn't realise you had asked how things were. Well they were better but my anxiety for some unknown reason is terrible again I now keep on thinking I don't want my son and this is a new thing that scares me I look at him and don't know how I feel it's making me feel so rubbish I just can't understand why I have started thinking this but it scares the life out if me. I also keep on worrying as everytime he touches me it I touch him or anyone else touches him I get a funny feeling which I have convinced myself is arousal but an NHS counsellor tells me it's not and it's the anxiety but again it is very scary so yep all in all life is pretty crap I just want this to end I am sick of the constant worry and panick attacks are almost daily now :0(

Hugs Olivia. Think it's the self doubt due to horrible PNI symptoms making u feel this way. This blip you are having will probably have been triggered by something - pmt, something u read or saw on telly, tiredness, illness. It's horribke but have hope as it will pass.
I'm sorry if I've asked before ru on meds? If so how's that going ? Do u feel overall that there's been improvement?x

I agree with Monica, something subconsciously will have triggered these thoughts but the thing to remember is that they are thoughts, that's all. I've read before that woman having these kind of thoughts are usually subconsciously facing their worst fears. Does that make sense? There's a thread on here somewhere regarding these kinds of thoughts, I'll try and find it for you. I know how you feel with this relentless battle, it feels like it will never end! I know it's hard to believe but it really does get better. Huge hugs xx
