Intrusive thoughts anyone?

I suffer from mild depression and anxiety. Lately i have been having intrusive thoughts, its the same thought over and over and is triggered by looking at my son. I have not been feeling depressed lately only a little anxious due to having a new baby. My question is does anyone here suffer from intrusive thoughts and how they manage them?
I do see a psychologist and plan on bringing it up with them however i just want them to go away and am hoping to try some new techniques.

The last time I had intrusive thoughts I had a newborn and wasn't getting enough sleep
I started on a mild antidepressant and made myself sleep when he did, and it didn't take long to settle

Thank you for replying.
From what i can gather stress and not enough sleep can trigger these thoughts so i am trying so hard to manage both... wish me luck :)
