Family members and pocd
I’m writing this to see if anyone else has a similar experience, I feel so sick and want my life back… I don’t know what to do half the time when I start panicking. I didn’t have many intrusive thoughts until a year ago after a family member made me feel very uncomfortable, now I over think everything around family members male or female (mostly male like him) and have intrusive thoughts thinking “I might develop a crush on them” or “I might give them the wrong idea”. Then I started feeling scared around children encase I made anyone feel uncomfortable like how that family member made me. I’m passionate about childcare and children’s safety so it scares me even more. I like childish things, I think as a trauma coping mechanism, and again my ocd tells me it’s because I’m a dodgy person. Or if I kiss my cat too much then I stop myself and think am I a dodgy person? Or do people think I’m being inappropriate which obviously is not my intention. All this over thinking makes me worry all the time if I am a dangerous person (or if people think I am) or if other people are dangerous. Does anyone have any advice? Just to know that I’m not alone would help…
