Are there any Christian moms out there??

Not a mom but I’m a Chris

Yup!

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.

I am also a mom of 3.??.

Yes! !!!

I have a 19 year a 10 year old and a 5 year old

I'm so glad...I met you. Lets keep in touch. Pray for eachother.

Me too...I take meds too. I'm looking to find a therapist that specializes in Pure ocd.

That's awesome! ! Do you have things that help you when your ocd is yucky? What do you struggle with?

Your a mom?

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”.

I am in fear of every emotion. I just want yo trust myself and love myself despite the thoughts.

Clouds my judgement as well. That's why its called the "doubting" disease

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!!!

I’m sorry that you’re going through it. Know that you are not alone! How old are your babies? I have two girls, 5 and 4 and a little boy who is a year and half. So much to keep me busy!!!

You can read my latest worry. It was posted a couple of pots before yours ?

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

Yes please let’s do!!!!
