Relationship and harm ocd for a two for one win here 🙃 My thoughts tend to revolve around violence and neglect. Or just being a bad spouse/parent overall.

Yes! It’s like the only thing my ocd cares about. It’s so irritating, Esp since mine showed up 9 years after I had my first child and I have been an excellent mother. But now it’s like I am questioning my entire identity. I am having my fourth. Praying for you! I know the pain! 😖💕

Before all of this my life couldn’t be better. This all started about 4 months ago. Found out we were having another boy and moved into our new house. It’s went away over the 4 month period and I started worrying about other stuff but now it’s recently just resurfaced and I hate it 😪😪

@Anonymous I know exactly what you mean, I know for me it felt like it came from no where but it kinda just switched themes. Because I was really nervous about Covid for like two years and then I made a decision to just stop being worried about Covid and I ended up getting the vaccine. And then seriously like two days later I started having all these harm OCD thoughts about my kids and family and pretty much have ever since February. I go a week or two where I am fine and it doesn’t even bother me but then I will have a nightmare about it or something will really trigger me and it feels like day one again. But I am thankful to know I have ocd now and I am trying to learn to live uncertain and just accept I have anxiety. If you ever want to chat we can do a group fb chat or something :) let me know! It really is better with others. I have met a few ppl on the fb app and they are good friends now.

@Mamaof4 mine started with covid too! I had my first panic attack and it just triggered something in me. I eventually got over it too & then I went through a little bit of health ocd I had a lump in my throat and swore it was cancer lol 😂 ended up being nothing and I went a whole year feeling fine and then all of this started. But I agree it’s nice knowing you’re not alone and other people are going through a lot of similarities

Has this made you depressed at all?

@Anonymous It definitely makes me more sad for sure. But I just try to live my values and do what I have always done. Some days are better then others. I do therapy two times a week and I listen to a lot of podcasts and stuff. I am super afraid of becoming depressed and fearful to try meds and stuff so that is a theme for me also. I know what I need to do to be here for my babies and I will never not do it but I am definitely not as happy as before.

@Mamaof4 I’ve went into a depression and felt hopeless and got on meds. I was super against it at first but I felt I needed to.. God heals all though. Through prayer and faith we will get through this!

Intrusive thoughts & Panic
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading

Always in my head
Im sorry I have to come on here and ask for advice once again, but as some people on here know I have been suffering with ocd since I was around the age of ten, which only got worse as my beautiful children came along. or nearly 60 years Ive had every type of ocd there is, they always come down to the same thing , not wanting to ever harm the people I love more than anything. I had got on top of this and was managing well, I know I would never harm anyone I love ever and would never ever want to, no more of the hypothetical scenarios for reassurance either , but its like every time I try to stop the mental compulsions intrusive thoughts come back after a few days, As I was in between going to sleep and was half awake the horrible words ' hope ***** dies I cannot even write the name down who it was about. I do not know where it came from but I am constantly getting upset about this as it was about someone I would give up my life for. I think you can probably guess what I mean without me having to say it. I do read a lot of posts and ocd podcasts and once read someones story wher they used to wish bad things and I have never been able to stop worrying in case something like that happened to me . Could this be what it was that has caused it ? I think Ive also still held onto something from when I was a child when I used to worry that thinking something too much could make it happen,, Please, please give me some addvice and thank you,,, sorry for the long post.
