I can relate, mine happened after i had my baby, it came at me hard! It had left me . But came back again after i had my second baby. And now i currently still struggle with it. Its horrible. Im 26 and miss who i was. I feel like my daughters dont get the real happy me. Thank God for my husband who has been nothing but supportive and has stuck with me through each panic attack, depression episodes bc of these intrusive thoughts.
I have a very similar story. I thank God for my husband everyday. 🤍 We got this, mama.
Similar story here, not with child birth but with birth control. Sending hugs.
You can overcome this and find Relief from ocd! Try the online Programm from Nathan Peterson its called ocdandanxietycourse online. It literally safed my life
I can relate a lot I have had ovd for a long time since I was like 7 or 8 but I'm a teen now and it's hard because I dont like watching adult movies like my friends because all yhe stuff in it triggers me hard a d it suvks because none of my friends want to watch Disney or nick which is fine I totally understand that but also I am older then them they aren't even teens yet sooooo it just makes me feel so down on myself because I'm the oldest I'm supposed to be the one who limes that stuff
I can relate a little - I didn't develop OCD until I was 13. Sometimes I see old home videos of like my eight-year-old self, and I feel so far away from them. I mean, I grew up of course, so there's that, but I also feel like I changed so much while doing so that it's hard for me to connect to who I was. I can't imagine being so consistently carefree and unfazed by the world now - it's a surreal experience.
I developed ocd when I was 21 and became much less happy over time. I am hoping to regain the ability to feel happy.
likes that stuff*
And dont be Afraid from Taking Medication, especially in the beginning of the Recovery journey it can be very helpfull to have some extra help
anyone else had ocd from a very young age? I’m talking like, I remember obsessions from when I was 6. and my family remembers my symptoms from even earlier. I didn’t get help until I was 15 because my family isn’t big on mental health. anyway, it frustrates me that I genuinely don’t know what it’s like to live without ocd. Sometimes I hear/see people talk about how they just wish things could back to how they were ‘before,’ or that imagining what their life was like before onset helps motivate them in recovery. But I don’t have anything like that. in fact, it’s almost scary to think about recovering completely because I don’t know anything else? it depresses me
Sometimes I find it crazy how I used to be so unbothered before ROCD. I wonder since it was triggered so quickly if one day I’ll be able to feel how I did before all of this. Now everything that I think or do has to relate back to my relationship. Every Instagram post or thing I say or tiktok I see I wonder, what would he think if I liked this? Do I like this? Does he like this? Is it morally right for us to like this? What if he likes this and it’s not right, what will people think? I’m honestly tired of caring so much and my brain numbs out. It feels so weird to me since I lived most of my life happy and with free. I really want to try and get back to those calm times where I could love him freely. I get scared that I’m stuck this way forever.
3 years ago I was in the same vacation spot I’m in right now while writing this post. I was so happy this time 3 years ago, it was a year before my OCD took a turn for the absolute worst and since then I’ve been through a TON of pain and suffering. I came back to this hotel today and wanted to cry looking at this place just remembering who I used to be last time I was here. Never would’ve thought that 3 years later I’d be going through this pain on a daily basis and this would be my future. I would do anything to go back to how I was before this disease took over my life :(
