Good job mama! One day at a time. I need more people in my life that get the ocd. I struggle with harm ocd. Constant fear of depression and fear of suicide. I have never been depressed. But the ocd likes to make me doubt my judgement. I hate it. But I know they are just irrational thoughts.

Of three. Yes I am!!! And honestly my ocd revolves around my spouse. Constantly worried he may leave or do something to make me leave. Haven’t had anything close to that in the almost 12 years we’ve been married But when I’m in the thick of an obsession, I find that I do not pay attention to my children like I need to. It clouds my judgement. I hate it so much I’m learning to pray, to find reliable and trustworthy people to open up and share my struggles, and to forgive myself for slip ups. I’ve put some safe guards into place so that it’s harder for me to go on a “binge”.

It’s so hard for sure!!!! What I learned is that everyone struggles with something. And if you find the right person to open up to, you will probably find that she has struggles. And while my good friend does not have ocd, she most definitely has her stuff. And those trustworthy, loving, supportive, Jesus loving friends can empathize and pray over you. That helps so much to be reminded of the love and grace of Jesus. We are loved by Him no matter what our circumstances (or minds) may throw our way!!!

Sometimes I get frustrated and I think God...I wish you would take it from me. Do you ever feel like that? Like you just could enjoy your family and not the constant dialong in your head. Do you take meds or see a therapist?

Yes yes yes. Did I say yes?!?!? To all of the questions ? I see a therapist and take meds, not while I was pregnant.

I try to think that there is a reason for this. There is obviously some good in that I rely on God when I struggle. It takes me a while to get over the initial anxiety attack but after that subsides I remember that I need Him. Every. Single. Moment

Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?

Every day my ocd makes sure there’s a new reason for me to stay trapped in my mind rather than being the mom I want to be that my kids need. Instead i’m stuck in my head depressed and pushing them away. The other day I was braiding my daughter’s hair like I always do and her hair is really long so when I get to the end of the braid I can see her butt in my peripheral vision and I looked down and I immediately got upset asking myself why did I look down?(the ocd has made me question everything I do now). I know it’s just because I was at the end of the braid and I just looked because I was already looking in that direction. A normal person wouldn’t even think twice about it. There was no inappropriate reason behind it at all but of course my ocd latched onto the situation and said I looked down because I wanted to look at her butt. I was so upset and said to myself “I don’t understand how the ocd started an intrusive thought because she was wearing baggy pants. I could understand if she had on tight pants and her butt was more noticeable” and the only reason I said that is because usually the only time my ocd starts intrusive thoughts telling me i’m looking at my daughter in a wrong way is when she has on leggings or a crop top or bathing suit ect. Now my ocd twisted what I said to mean that I like looking at her in tight pants. Nooo! That’s not what I meant but now the ocd won’t stop trying to make me believe that. I don’t ever look at my children in any inappropriate way. I hate this. I hate ocd and I can’t live like this anymore.

Since I developed ocd as postpartum my ocd has mostly always targeted my kids. It started as harm and then switched to pocd. Both are equally very painful. For years I was mostly able to keep my ocd at bay but when it comes back it’s so bad. I have a son and a daughter and my ocd switches back and forth from kid to kid with horrible intrusive thoughts and now even intrusive ocd dreams. With each thought I get past and start to feel relief another one pops right up. The thoughts feel so real and true even though I know it’s just the ocd and not how I think or feel, the ocd always makes me doubt myself and question everything I think or do. I know other moms/dads go through this too. Please anyone who has or is going through this please tell me how you deal with this. 😪
