Post Partum OCD

I was wondering if anyone out there has been diagnosed with this. I am 42 years old. My baby is 7months.
I really would like to hear from anyone with knowledge on this.

I haven't heard of this, but I am having some major post partem depression! I was wondering if this is like what you are talking about? If not sorry to bother you I just am at my wits end and wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue?

Ive read all about ppocd... and i believe i got this with my son hes 17 mo now... ive seen a psych nurse who put me in a ppd and anxiety group.. i did the online test for perinatal/ppocd at the site called la ocd center ... and they sent me back a personal reply as well as the automated saying my test STRONGLY SUGGESTS PPOCD ( it was almost every one checked off)... basically.. the whole pregnancy , and postpartum period of well over a year was hell for me in my mind. it still is at times.. It wasnt so much depression, but MAJOR FEAR, OBSESSING, ANXIETY, PARANOIA, HEALTH CONCERNS OVER EVERY BUMPBRUISE<VEIN< ETC YOU NAME IT I WORRIED about my son :(... I was on zoloft since 2 weeks PP, and my obsessing seemed to get worse. :/ which in turn caused my depression.

When I had this messed up dream a few mo ago, i went off the drug, and i m starting to feel better, but stilll have rough days with some new obsessions and anxiety... Im still in the works of talking to this therapist at my group about what ive specifically delt with.

Its a nightmare, :( whatever i have, and i pray and cry each day i get back to myself again very soon. Plz someone if you have advice .. let me know what kinds of things work for you.
