I’m so sorry to hear that your mind is telling you this. Try to accept the uncertainty all of those questions, as terrifying as it is. OCD wants to scare us and make us always have answers. So let’s fight the monster by showing it we don’t have answers! Friend you got this. You are not alone. I’m praying for you and cheering you on. ❤️❤️

I’m so sorry mama ☹️ you sound like such a caring and compassionate mom. You love your kiddos so much it’s making you sick. We need more people in this world who care about people like you do. So many parents are so selfish and think of their children as their possessions, and can never admit they’ve done something wrong or try to do better. You care a LOT and that is so important for kids to have. If you do something wrong, you can apologize to your kids. It is so much more helpful for a kid to see their parent being HUMAN, seeing them make human mistakes and seeing how they react to them. People don’t apologize to their kids enough, it is so meaningful when you sit down and let your kiddo know you don’t like the way you acted and how you want to be in the future. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to CARE, you have to show your kids you’re always going to be trying to do better. Just from this post I know you care. That means the world.

I feel this. I have POCD and I have spent so many nights crying and thinking I’m a terrible mother. Those things aren’t true. They’re lies. But I can’t convince you. You have to just accept that intrusive thought’s existence and stop engaging with it. I promise, it does get better.

Hey, that sounds rough I’m sorry to hear that. Truth is there’s no way he can be 100% sure. But people without ocd don’t need the certainty like we do

Struggling. My mind/OCD told me I had already abused my child by breathing when they were laying across me and that I might as well do something else to hurt them. I had to think for a second, but the only thing that came to mind was to move my elbow towards their groin area to cause a "feeling". Well I did just that, and I ended up grazing their groinal area and it caused a disgusting unwanted feeling. I IMMEDIATELY wanted to throw up and panicked. I also asked my child to move off of me immediately. It went against my morals, beliefs, and values as an individual and mother. I can't stop thinking about it and it's very debilitating. I didn't enjoy a single moment of it. But my question to you guys is am the monster that I've always been scared of being? Do I belong in the ground? Do I deserve to have a wonderful life and wonderful, perfect child?

It was all your POCD they say, but now I'm like is it just a cover up. The feelings were SO REAL feeling in the moment. I feel like the friends who have told me it's OCD isn't even true anymore. It felt so real but I asked my child to move so it didn't happen again. I was scared. Thought I was going to be taken away. I've been ruminating for a month now. I've been feeling sick like I don't deserve to be her mom. Ugh I hate this.

I have false memory real event ocd, I’ve been married 13 years and I used to constantly bring up past mistakes from when we were dating and it RUINED our marriage, but I got medication and therapy and things got better untill a few weeks ago where everything crumbled. I have a memory that is 13 years ago of me being intimate with my husband (than boyfriend) while being intimate I have a memory of sending a text to a male who obviously liked me but I didi not while my husband was under the covers . And I keep thinking over and over how disgusting and inappropriate it was to do that especially doing it in the middle of being intimate 😞. I have confessed this to my husband last year and he didint believe me saying it’s probably a made up memory and would are not a slut and wouldn’t do that. Now i have guilt all over again for weeks and it’s taking such a toll on me it’s all I think about and try to remember every detail I’ve thought about it so much I don’t even know if it’s 100 percent true. But I can vividly see it when I close my eyes. How do I get over this guilt without confessing? Confessing would absolutely destroy my husband.
