Am I loosing the plot?

Do you ever question if you love your kids as much as other people love theres? I sometimes have intrusive thoughts particularly if I’m overly anxious about what would happen if I got upset at the kids and just lost control. I feel it’s more anxiety and I know it’s not rationale and I’d never act out on it but I then beat myself up about just having the ‘thought’ in the first place. I’m about to see a psychologist and started anxiety medication but am I going mad?

Yep. If I see a news report or hear of terrible things being done to children it just involuntary pops into my head an image of that happening to my children or me carrying out those horrible acts. It's always worse the more tired I am. I actually read a post by Constance Hall recently where she talked about it too. I don't think you're going mad but seeing a psychologist for your anxiety sounds like a great idea x
