I hate that my ocd makes me literally feel like my husband is going to harm our children the way I was harmed. I literally listen so closely when he’s in a room with them, and my brain makes me think I’m hearing something happening! Of course when I go check, everything is fine. But this is exhausting and It’s terrifying.

It is, and then it doesn’t help that it’s also making me feel like I’m a threat as well. I just want to feel normal again

Are you in therapy with a therapist that understands OCD and can teach you ERP? If not, I highly recommend it. ERP is hard, but so worth it.

this is how i feel when my brother takes my siblings somewhere! i know he would never hurt them but it’s our thoughts that won’t leave us alone & i understand you when you said you feel like your a threat as well, i feel like i can’t be trusted to be alone ☹️
