My contamination OCD has gotten very bad and my dogs have ringworm. My husband is taking care of me, our son, and the dogs and it has gotten to be too much.

@compulsion5000 Yeah. I love them and don't want them to go but right now they are quarantined and need a ton of care. I could probably convince my husband to stick it out if I knew I could get where I need to be to take care of them and not see them as contaminated but I know that's a ways off. I can't keep them in a pen forever, you know?

@messengervl My husband and I had a similar experience. Very similar with dogs. It really sucks. I now have a digital pet gold fish...

@pulji0107 I think the line "if you really love your dogs" was over the line tbh...

I really think a group for parents with ocd would be helpful... everytime I see a post by another mom ots uncannily on the mark relatable for me

I agree. It's a unique thing that other sufferers can really be the only people to understand sometimes

Regarding the back and forth that was deleted with the girl saying if you really loved your dogs you would overcome your ocd... please don't let her get to you. I feel like that was over the line. You are a good mom and you are making a difficult decision because it's best for your family. Family is more important than pets at the end of the day and even so it will be better for the dogs to be in a home that can provide them the best care. Please do not be hard on yourself. I have been there and I think you are making the best decision in a difficult situation.

I must have missed some of it because it's gone now. Thanks. I don't think people get that this is a decision of compassion for everyone in the situation, but me giving up on my little pups. I love them so much and I've been crying non stop since deciding this.

Please help me. I need support. I just need someone to be up front with me. Tell me the truth. I want to get past it all. I'm struggling STRUGGLING today. My mind is telling me I'm the only one who is dealing with something like this. Idk why I did my biggest fear. I was put on a new medication when this happened which caused me to spiral, my thoughts to be more often, and have insomnia. I have been diagnosed with POCD as well. I woke up in the middle of the night when my child was laying completely cross my chest. I was breathing and having groinal sensations. My mind told me that I assaulted her by this, and I was going to prison for it. My thoughts started going like this, "you're already bad might as well do something else", "no sense in stopping now" "you can finally do what you've always wanted", "what would you do if you could do anything to cause harm" So I had to think of what to do in the moment. The only thing I could think to do was move my elbow towards my child's groin. In the moment it felt like I really wanted to do this. I proceeded to do so, and my elbow touched her groin. I immediately told my child to move off me. I then went back to sleep. When I woke up, I began panicking, confessing to a family member what happened, and crying immensely. I feel like I failed as a mother. I'm in such distress since I started sleeping on the floor to avoid it from happening again, and I got off the medication. I'm so much better OCD wise since I got off the meds. I was the BEST mom months ago before this happened. The thoughts have always bothered me, and I was always scared I would give in and act on them. I'm living my worst nightmare. I feel alone. Felt so wanted in the moment and SO real. Ugh. Could someone just give me some support? (edited)

(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I love my dog. He just turned seven months old yesterday. But sometimes, I get so frustrated. I came home from work and I just wanted to sit down and relax and watch my favorite TV show. But then he started jumping on me, barking, and getting into things he shouldn’t be. On top of that, I was feeling lightheaded because I haven’t been taken Zoloft lately, which is completely my fault and irresponsible of me. My dog got into a laundry basket and tipped it over, spilling all the clothes on the floor and grabbing a pair of socks. I just lost it, at that point. I chased him and yelled at him and as I went to grab the socks from him, I thought about hitting him. I don’t think I did, but I don’t know. Either way, I’m truly disgusted with myself. I hate that that was my first automatic thought. What is wrong with me? I put him in his kennel for time out and I completely just lost it. I started crying and hyperventilating. I feel horrible for feeling sorry for myself when I’m not the one hurting here. I’m truly a disgusting manipulative POS that deserves to be locked away forever
