The Problem
New parents experiencing postpartum anxiety and OCD suffer from intrusive thoughts and catastrophizing after minor incidents with their children, unable to distinguish between real medical emergencies and anxiety-driven fears. They experience severe guilt, panic attacks, and spiral into researching worst-case scenarios online, leading them to either over-utilize emergency services or suffer in silence. The immediate need for reassurance and professional triage creates acute distress that can last hours or days.

I must apologize, it's also happened to me...
Yepp, it's also happened to me. I'm speechless because I read this kind of posts hundred of times and I was sure it will NEVER happen to me because I'm so careful. I was full of ego thinking other mother's are not careful enough. I was thinking "how can you possibly be so reckless like this, it's something very hard to happen, you must be reeaaally uncareful person" and yet here we are... So the story behind this, my baby is 6 months old, still contact naps 90% of the time but sometimes I have to do some things and I'm putting to my bed with so many pillows and other things to open areas so she can't fall that way. Buuuuutttt even though I was doing it, she always wakes up and first thing you know is she woke up because she is starting to scream when she understands I'm not there. But still I have a camera and I'm always checking on her at the same time when she sleeps. So, I was thinking I'm so careful with all this right? One hour ago I had to make some laundry and I out her to bed but I didn't put the pillows etc. around her because it's gonna take only few min and I will go back, also till now she always first thing to do scream when I'm not there instead of moving around so I was like "anyway" this only ONLY ONLY I SWEAR ONLY JUST ONE TIME (I swear on it!!!) I didn't put pillows there and also I didn't check on the camera because it's gonna take only few minutes and she is deep asleep, right? I heard a scream that I never heard before. It was like squeaking. First two seconds I frozen, I was like "what is that sound" and than run to the room and she was at the ground... She was screaming, I was screaming and trembling and crying at the same time and yelling to my friend "call the ambulance" but two min later she was in the normal self, instead if crying she was laughing to my face to my crying face. I was crying and she was loudly laughing. I called the pediatrician and she said look for a few hour if something is weird and if it is call the ambulance and after that nothing happened, she continued to laugh to my ugly crying face and played with her toys and gone to sleep like in normal time. There is a bump on the head but other than that everything seems just normal. But I'm a wreck. And I'm APOLOGIZING to all other mothers that I was thinking I'm better than them!!!!!!! Note: English is not my first language I tried my best.
Guilt about not doing anything
I’m a very non-confrontational person. So, here’s the situation: A few months ago, we had a panic because we suspected that my child might be having infantile spasms. Thanks to the internet, I had some idea of what that means and knew that it’s an emergency — diagnosis and treatment must begin immediately, since these seizures can be extremely damaging and may leave children disabled. So, on the day when we noticed something that looked like that, we immediately went to an emergency pediatric clinic. There, we were greeted by a pediatrician — she was kind and friendly. She said it was colic, but what worried me (and the reason for this post) was something she said: “Infantile spasms are a benign form of epilepsy. Children outgrow them. Parents just keep a diary of when they happen.” That’s extremely dangerous misinformation. I thought maybe she misspoke, so I asked, “Do you mean West syndrome?” and she said, “Yes.” Anyway, I didn’t continue the topic. We left, found a neurologist, and thankfully everything turned out fine for us. But it keeps bothering me deeply — the thought that another baby, who is actually having these spasms, could end up being sent home just like that, which could have terrible consequences. Months have passed, we were wearing masks, I don’t remember her name or even her hair color. I didn’t say anything at the time — maybe I should have. I keep wondering if she was just tired and mixed things up, but still, such mistakes can’t be made. I even started doubting whether I heard correctly but I know I did. I just have this guilt which genuinely I should have because I just left it like that and my lack of action might lead to someone getting hurt.
I caused my toddler brain damage?
I think I have compulsion disorder,if. There is something like that called. I screamed in afternoon at my toddler 2.5yr old today, felt awful entire day(I have never raised my at her till now). I suffer from anxiety and irrational thoughts. My brain thought what if I shook my baby in anger. Which I know I did not. But at night, just tocheck if did it, I really shook my baby back and forth to see if I really did that back in the afternoon. Though I didn't pick her up while shaking, she was kneeling on my thighs nor I did it forcefully(atleast that's what I think) or frustratingly but still saw her head move back and forth, i thought they would pretty stable by at this age. Now I am scared, that if I could have caused my baby SBS? I feel so guilty, dumb and stupid. I am crying and I don't know how to feel about it. I saw videos on internet and some of the video show even little force can cause it like how I did. Should I check in the ER?
