She said on the episode:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI feel like the amount of work I\u2019ve been doing in therapy with learning I have postpartum OCD, I feel so much more confident as a mom. It\u2019s something that I\u2019ve been talking about a lot on my [Scheananigans] podcast lately just because I feel like a lot of women will get misdiagnosed with postpartum depression when it\u2019s postpartum OCD.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: Katie Maloney Calls Scheana An \u2018Evil Little Troll\u2019 For Encouraging Tom\/Raquel Fling! <\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f86253ea51b-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In case you didn\u2019t know, the <strong>National Institute of Health<\/strong> characterizes postpartum OCD as \u201cmajor mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychosis with infanticidal thoughts.\u201d For Scheana, she recalled having some dark intrusive thoughts \u2013 which ended up leading to her diagnosis:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was just like, \u2018Why am I seeing these things in my head? I don\u2019t want to harm anyone I love. I don\u2019t want these things to happen, but I just kept seeing them.\u2019 And one day I just decided to tell my therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>She continued:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f86253ea51f-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen it started being about my baby \u2026 even when we\u2019re just on our balcony, I know I\u2019m not going to toss her off my balcony but in my head, I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my God, what if she just jumped out of my arms right now and fell off the balcony? And those thoughts were just so disturbing and once I talked to my therapist about it, she was like, \u2018It really sounds like you have postpartum OCD.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since the initial talk with her therapist, the Bravolebrity said she\u2019s made a lot of progress with response prevention therapy, which is exposure to feared situations, typically surrounding infant care, while stopping compulsive rituals:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the thing with OCD is that it attaches to your biggest fears and then you just see them happening all of the time and it\u2019s terrifying.

It\u2019s really terrifying being a mom because I don\u2019t want to mess up, I don\u2019t want anything to happen to her when I\u2019m by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>But the momma said she has made significant strides over the past few months to overcome that fear \u2013 something she\u2019s super \u201cproud\u201d of:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f86253ea526-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEven though I\u2019m crying right now, I do feel like in the last few months I\u2019m just so proud of myself because I\u2019ve done so much on my own. Several times a week, I either will take her to my mom\u2019s house, I\u2019ll take her to a music class by myself, I took her over to Brittany [Cartwright]\u2019s this weekend by myself. I\u2019m just trying to do more things by myself and that\u2019s made me feel so good. When I get there, I\u2019m like, \u2018Yes, I did that on my own.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ultimately, Scheana encourages fellow moms who are going through similar postpartum struggles to \u201cadvocate for [themselves]\u201d while at the doctor\u2019s:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cReach out for help just because there\u2019s so many resources that I just feel so much better in the few short months that I\u2019ve been getting help myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f86253ea529-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We\u2019re so glad Scheana feels like she\u2019s in a better place now!
