Whoever is going through this sort of thing; you can get through it. I did and I thought it would kill me but it didn’t, and it won’t kill you either. Every awful thought that went through my mind tortured my soul but they eventually started to fade, yours will too. I’m nowhere near fine but I’m getting there in my own way, day by day and you will too. You are not alone. We can do this❤️

If you feel overwhelmed by a thought or feeling put baby somewhere safe like a cot or play pen and go take a few moments to breathe and clear your mind of those thoughts/feelings. You are not neglecting them you are protecting them.

Thank you this has helped me I remember having these thought and felt I couldn't tell anyone I thought they would think I'm a crazy mom. I'm not the only one that get these thought.

Omg I was convinced from pregnancy tat my sons nan was going to try an take him away. My ex made me feel horrible and pushed me to hand my son over all the time wen I just wanted to cuddle my baby without pressure. Glad im normal xx

I can't imagine doing this solo. Single mum's suffering with this issue, You should be very proud of your enormous strength! It is very tiring work trying to stay positive i know that first hand. Things can still be hard even with a partner or family around to help. So i applaud every mother, single or not. Anyone that is going through this, you aren't alone and it won't last forever. Tell someone close to you or even a trusted health professional that you are feeling overwhelmed and need a hand. If that isn't an option please reach out to someone online. Big hugs and squeezes xx 💜

Why is this video focused on "mums" this subject is something very personal to our family and although I think it's great we 're raising awareness on such a taboo subject but the focus shouldn't be just placed on women x
