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

Please comment. Just say if follows along the OCD pattern or not. I don't need reassurance per se! My daughter was laying across me and every time I breathed a certain way I was getting a groinal sensation. I kept breathing like that anyways (ugh idk why), and then my mind told me I had hurt/a**aulted her that I might as well do something else to hurt because what's more. So idk why or what overcame me other than the thought of doing it because my mind told me I had hurt her already ("my mind literally made me question what to do and I guess the only thing I could come up with was using my elbow) and causing another feeling but it came across my mind to elbow her, and I elbowed her crotch or side/thigh area. Which caused another very unwanted groinal sensation. Then I began FREAKING smooth out. And I've been stressing since. I feel like as a mom I don't deserve to be hers anymore. Idk what overcame me but my therapist says it's all OCD. I was doing SO well! Is this really OCD? This has all caused me a great amount of anxiety. I feel like a terrible person and mom. I just need help knowing if this is OCD. Not wanting reassurance. Just wanting to know if this lines up with the POCD I've been diagnosed with by my current therapist.

This is not meant to fend anyone- rather your religious or not- somewhere in the middle-ect just expressing how I I feel.. I haven’t been to church since I was like… 13 years old… I’m now 34. I was raised Christian. My dad was the one who encouraged Christianity/church as a kid but he also is the person who sexually and verbally abused me, he also was an alcoholic and crack addict/drug addict. Not saying people with severe substance issues can’t be religious HOWEVER as a child he hurt me, over and over and over again. Once him and my mom split up I stopped going to church cuz I rebelled and felt like he only went to church to hide the truth of who he was. It’s just how i felt. I don’t know know truth and want know the truth becuase he died 2 years ago. The truth wouldn’t matter anyways. I’m also bisexual, and don’t beleive some of the (in my opinion) hateful judgmental things I see spread by certain religions, i do get religion is a spectrum tho. Long story to say, my 11 year old daughter has many friends who go to this specific christian church, and I agreeed to sign her up for a summer basketball team the church offers- only because the schedule worked for us and she knows kids in the program. She’s been asking to go to a few Sunday services in order to get to know the ppl /kids more so when she starts basketball she will know some ppl. So today, I’m going to church for the first time , I feel weird about it due to my past. I am not anti religion, I believe in being a good person and if god is real he will see that and that’s what matters. But church brings up trauma for me in ways. Anyone ever deal with this? Words of advice? I want to let my daughter choose her own path and explore religion if she chooses too so I am trying to support her, I’m just scared to go and feel judged cuz I literally have pink hair, piercings, tattoos, don’t agree w some extreme values ect. Idk compulsion a lot this am and heart is racing .
