Yes mine got worse for a bit during COVID. When you get used to the situation it will help
Try sitting with that you might or might not get it. COVID might be less harmful than having your OCD get worse.
Are I worried about getting it or about your dad not doing well
Mine got really bad when my dad had covid, and it was at the beginning I remember it was like you all have to isolate and because of that 10 days in my own home, oh my daysss I was going nuts, literally and then I automatically felt better once the ten days were over and that nothing really happened, because a lot of my ocd was about my dad getting worse, something might happen to him, something might happen to me.
Please read this. I’ve had ocd pretty much a lot of my life but never knew what it was until my senior year of highschool. I’m 21 with 2 kids and i believe i’ve had pocd a little bit before my daughter was born (which was 8 months ago). It made me start looking at all kids differently and i hate it. But it really started triggering me about 3 months ago. I’ve been thinking if i’d intentionally touched or harmed my kids the wrong way, or any kids for that matter. This started giving me false memories (or at least hope they are). I’ve been having panic attacks, yelling at myself, punching walls, praying, and even thoughts of ending my own life. I grew up in a severe toxic household throughout my childhood and teenage life. I’ve never wished that on my kids since i became a dad. I wanna give them the life i never got. I look back my photos of my children and i feel like i’m a complete fraud of a dad. I cannot look at my kids or be around them a lot of times. I can’t hold my daughter right. I can’t change their diaper when they need it. Even my son came and was hugging on me the other night while i was watching tv and i acted like a stranger to him. I can very little do this stuff sometimes because it’s either i get relief or i push my thoughts as far back as i can. I get scared if i did something to not just my kids, but any other kids in the past. I have such a a great life and such a beautiful family. It was hard and stressful at first being young with a family but i couldn’t be more thankful at all for them. I’m just so lost and stressed right now that i just don’t know what to do anymore
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
