Struggling.. need advice

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with pp anxiety a year ago... started taking Zoloft at 50mg since. I've always suffered with bad intrusive thoughts but I felt like Zoloft was helping me manage it better. I’m desperate to know if anyone else gets thoughts while in the moment that tell you that you are doing something inappropriately? I feel so alone and I’m shutting down completely. Is this a form of intrusive thoughts that make you think you are acting on it at the moment? Anybody relate? My 3 year old daughter loves to take her shirt off and copy her 20 month old brother, so we were getting ready to leave and before I dressed her I was gonna do her hair. But as I picked her up off the couch to place her in the chair, my mind instantly said you're touching her inappropriately so I moved my hand and now I'm thinking I like touched her by her nipple inappropriately. I just feel like a terrible mom. I know when you pick kids up you don't mean to touch them in that area but you do because you're picking them up under their arms. Idk why I'm feeling like I did something inappropriate or intentional but my anxiety has skyrocketed and it's making me feel depressed and sad.

Can anyone relate to this as a mom? I feeling hopeless and I have a therapy appt tomorrow.
