Thank you for sharing taboo themes and experiences! 🫶
You Rock !!!! I admire you for your courageously post . I have similar thoughts like this not just with my baby but with family member and i drown myself in my thoughts and literally wanna cry and run and I get so scared but I know see I’m not alone 🙏🥺😭
You are not alone, there is hope!!!
Stacy! Thank you so much for sharing this, reading your story and seeing you share your experiences with taboo intrusive thoughts is really uplifting and brings me a lot of hope. 🤍
Thank you so much- responses like this make it well worth it!
Thank you for sharing the taboo hard to talk ab thoughts! I think most ppl in general have them but ppl with ocd can’t let them go. It makes you feel so alone. You are helping so many by telling your story!
This means so much to me thank you! And definitely people have all these same thoughts- they just don't get "stuck" and give them meaning.
Thank you for sharing this part of your story. I think this community of OCD sufferers is being helped by people sharing their experiences. Just hearing another's story may make someone feel less isolated.
Than you! The work you alumni do is so important as well, letting people know that you have been in the spirals of OCD and have been living in recovery is so important!
I had welfare called on me a few weeks ago because I talked to a psychologist about the POCD. He didn't understand. I haven't listed this as one of the subtypes on my profile because I am scared to...like it makes it more real or something. I've never had a mental health professional react like that to me before. I'm scared.
@depressedmess I didn't know that, I had assumed that they are all taught that. I guess he probably was a regular psychologist.
This TRULY breaks every inch of my heart. This is so real!!! Show them NOCD educational information. There are specialists who can confirm your diagnosis. Please don't let this silence you in getting the help that you need and should get. I am so sad that this happened to you. Please know that you are not alone and this is not indicative of actual pedophilia.
@NOCD Therapist - Stacy Q. He validated all my fears but I had a lot of support from people who know what is going on and one of the women from welfare seemed to know a bit about OCD. They thought it was pretty stupid too. I have a great therapist at the moment and I'm under a psychiatrist. I'm refusing to do the compulsions. It was hard at first and they still try and sneak in there .
Thank you for sharing this! I was thinking about this the other day… I struggle myself with harm and sexual intrusive thoughts. It’s easy to let ocd try to convince you that you are a bad person… it takes so much strength (and work) to fight the monster back 😊
I have had similar OCD intrusive thoughts about my first baby- I feel like the intrusive thoughts occasionally come from actual concerns I have. I was also diagnosed with anxiety and depression. So, when I have a concern about my daughter and her health and safety that is actually logical, OCD attacks it and blows it out of proportion. OCD becomes truly debilitating at times and I cannot let it take over my life anymore because I need to care for my daughter. And I want her to know that if she starts to suffer with OCD, that there is help and that she’s not alone
@KelSul73 Same.
I actually started crying while reading this. For the first time I felt like someone understood what I was going through and had hope for the first time that maybe there's a way out. I have been trying to treat my problems as anxiety for over a decade and I never thought I could have ocd. Turns out I had it all along and was paying attention to the wrong things. To your analogy, I kept clipping the branches and wondering why the trunk was still there.
Thank you so much. I have always said I will share as long it helps at least one person. We got this! The more people speak it, the less power it has over us.
The courage it took to share this is amazing! Thank you for helping pave the way towards understanding and compassion for everyone (including me) who struggles with taboo themes. 💚
Thank you for sharing.
Back in therapy trying NOCD and excited it’s offered. Anxiety has been crazy mostly health ocd but got triggered today when starting with therapist about suicide. Now for the last 6 hours I’ve been scared I’m suicidal. Scared of dying from health but suicidal lol I can’t win. Anyone else have experience with this theme?
How can I book an appointment with you
