Hey... ihave PND and im scared about being my own... im the same at my parents house as i am on my own... my parents house is totally out of the way and on its own and surroundd by trees... my home is 1 of 6 flats but the guy on the end is unstable and kicks off at the sillyest of things... it scares the hell out of me... but since being on anti d's ive seen and improvment...

Defo go chat to your doctor even if its just to get it of your chest...

Thanks you two and yes i live on my own i didnt know you could get OCD about things like that i think i have some kind of OCD about brushing my teeth though when i was pregnant with DS (4 months now) i had a craving to brush my teeth but to chew the brush i now have to buy new toothbrushes like everyweek its so anoying

for years i was terrifed at being in the house alone at night, or just me and the kids, kept imaging someone breaking in, couldn't sleep, had lots of nightmares to.  partly it was down to depression, but over time it started to ease (took a long time tho)  aand now it hardly bothers me at all, i even stay here alone wen the kids are at their dads, and quite enjoy the peace and quiet!  dunno exactly what made the difference, but i just kept affirming to myself that i was safe in my home, if i started to think paraniod thoughts i said this out loud (kinda strange i know)  the first couple of weeks were sooo tough but eventually i started to believe it, and wen those thoughts came to mind i could almost hear 'i am safe in my home'  being shouted in my mind!

Didnt read proper;y that u didnt live wiv ur partner!! do u live on ur own?? I get scared when its jus me n my baby at night n im movin out on my own soon lol.
I think its normal 2 worry but definately not as much as you are hun!! x x x

Hiya hun u should defintly go c ur doctor (although sometyms theyr useless when it comes 2 deppression etc)try 2 relax more or the problem will get worse.Lots of people with young children and/or are pregnant get OCD, I have had this all of my life n its not nice, iv learnd ways 2 control it but i might be wrong, it sounds like u could easily get OCD by the way u describe thinking that some1s goin 2 brake in every night!! Good luck babe, try n sort something soon b 4 it gets worse!!

I haven't used this forum before i am not exactly a single mum but in a way i kind of am.  i don't livewith my partner as we don't get on at all when we live together andwe dont think its fair on the children... Me and my partner are both 20 so we are a young family we have a DD who is 2 and DS who is 4months. i just have a question really to see if anyone feels the same or if i am not normal lol

Everynight i go to bed i get really scared and i get paranoid i think someone is going to break into my house or kill me (This is every single night) If it was only a few times a week i wouldn't be as worried, My health visitor has also asked me to go and see my GP for depression so i am wondering if it may be linked to depression :S i know it's because i have two young children that i worry,  but surely people can't feel like this everynight when they go up to bed?

Please give me some advice or just opnions thankyou very much x x x
