This made me so happy , I’m so proud of you! I want to be a mother one day, I’ve always loved babies and children and taking care of them. But I struggle with POCD and had decided I would not have children anymore in case something terrible happens. Your story has really touched me. Maybe my dream can be a reality one day.

I was in the exact same place as you. I did not want kids because of my pocd, but getting pregnant made me push to get the help I needed to be the best mother I could be. Don't lose faith because you can get the help you need to

I’m 23 and have had it for two years but it already feels unbearable and like I’ll never recover/be myself again. I’ve unlatched it completely several times in the last year but it’s like a leech that keeps coming back. Especially around my period or stressful moments , I have no trust or self esteem in myself and wish I had the confidence and strength to manage and fight it better. I know ocd is not something that magically disappears but I want to be able to keep it mild and make sure I don’t bring it back my ruminating all the time

Sometimes I get so scared that I'm actually my thoughts, but I remember myself that these thoughts came before even about my family, even my mother animals strangers that I don't even feel that they're attractive in any way, I believe what I do is somehow complusion? Bcz I'm constantly make myself remember that it's not you is just the thoughts, it's really hard to control it Can you please share with us what did you do with your therapist? I live in a country with poor mental health care so I'm basically relying on YouTube, I really want to feel better I live in a stressful environment and it's hard enough to stay functioning and ocd makes it way much harder P.s, I'm so so happy for you, you will definitely be a great mother for your little baby god bless both of you ❤️

@NOCD Advocate - Kristen Could you please help me as well? I suffer terrible from POCD and it’s been the worst. I don’t know how to deal with this or if I’ll ever be “me” again. I feel hopeless. 😭
