@Stardust777 I know it definitely doesn’t. Im setting the table for our Christmas Eve dinner and I’m literally about to go into panic. I can feel every sensation in my body and especially what Im worried about. This is so awful

@ccas6 I know I was about to start crying when I was getting my ready. 😭 but sit with the thoughts push thru do not give ocd what it wants. It doesn’t want us to have fun.

@Stardust777 You’re so right. I’ve been engaging in compulsions like changing clothes and asking my mom for reassurance. It feels so out of control

This mom is suffering 😪
This flare up is getting worse. So my son brought me a paper he needed signed for school yesterday and I asked him to get me a pen. As he got the pen I was just looking at him and unintentionally glanced over his private area and immediately freaked out with guilt. My ocd started telling me I was staring and that I wanted to look there. I know I wasn’t staring and I don’t ever want to look there. Anytime I accidentally catch a glimpse of my children’s private areas I always immediately look away and feel so guilty even though it wasn’t intentional or wanted but my ocd is making me believe I did stare and now the memory of it is blurred the more I try to remember it exactly to disprove the ocd. I feel horrible and I don’t know how I can ever get past this. 😪

Valentine’s Day ROCD :(
Really struggling today so far. I have partner-focused ROCD so I’m constantly picking apart my partner and looking for warning signs that he doesn’t love me enough and doesn’t want to be with me or care for me. Valentine’s Day is really hard for me because it’s not a huge holiday for the two of us but of course my ROCD takes it and runs with it. It tells me that he doesn’t love me, things won’t get better, he doesn’t care, he’s lazy, he’s the worst boyfriend, etc. This sucks so much because I just want to accept the fact that my brain wants to tell me these things…it is just so hard!!! :(
