Welcome to my Anonymom series.  Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments – anonymously.  Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues.  Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom.

This episode features Claire, who talks about postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) after having her daughter during the COVID-19 pandemic.  You’ll also hear about …

– what it was like being pregnant and giving birth during a global pandemic 

– how, out of nowhere, she started to have thoughts of harming herself and her baby

– how her OCD/harm intrusive thoughts manifested in her day to day life

– how her anxiety built up so much that she found herself depressed and unable to drive, go in public, and be alone with her child

– how she was failed by the maternal mental health care system and fought for resources

– how you can beat the system and get the support you need
