[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 594073, member: 1550"] CB, I think I had a bit of that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that you did before I got on the SSRI that worked. I used to be afraid that I'd throw myself out a window or, when I was at a concert on the first row balcony once, that I'd jump off the balcony. I was afraid the entire concert. Other times I'd be afraid I'd throw myself in front of speeding traffic. After I had kids, strangely I never worried that I'd hurt THEm, although that's a common obsession, but I did still worry about feeling compelled to do things to myself that would leave my children orphans (my ex was not a very good father). I can not remember exactly what my psychiatrist called these thoughts. I called them "baaaaaaaaaaaad thoughts" lol. They scared me though so they weren't funny. I think they were considered part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which is part of anxiety disorder, so it made tons of sense. I recall being massively reassured that no matter how much I thought about these things and no matter how much I was afraid I'd do them I never would and I never did. And you won't hurt your daughter either. If you feel better doing it, can you sleep somewhere else? I think buying "Feeling Good" like IC suggested may help you. Also, probably a CBT would get your emotions under control better than just a talk therapist. At the very least, CBT and DBT always worked best for me and we seem to have similar problems. At least, SOME are similar :) [/QUOTE]
