Mom with POCD
Any mothers out there struggling with POCD ? Can the thoughts come in forms of terrible “phrases” “outbursts” saying horrible things in the form of words

There are a lot of moms with POCD on here and yes, intrusive thoughts and images and feelings can be in the form of ANYTHING. PCD is very imaginative.

I’m not a mum, but I am pregnant. Unfortunately, I cannot keep this child. I do think if it wasn’t for this POCD, It could be a possibility that I would keep this baby. Where I’m not very maternal anyway (again I think due to POCD) I feel like the fact I’m not keeping it doesn’t effect me as much because of being scared etc. But then recently, it really has been upsetting knowing I’ll probably never be like most women, excited to have a child, scan pictures, birthdays etc, seeing their announce their pregnancy. N then it hits me x

Hi! So sorry to hear about your struggles with postpartum. I am not a mom, but OCD subtypes should all be treated the same way. OCD can show up in many different forms. It will try to trick you any which way so that you don’t even realize that it potentially is OCD and you fall into compulsions. I would suggest checking out Jenna Overbaugh! She is a lovely therapist here on NOCD and she has had some OCD themes with her babies too.

Mom with Harm OCD
Hi - I’m a Mom of 3 with Harm OCD. I’ve had OCD for a long time since I was a teen, prior to kids. It’s been harm/sexual orientation, etc. pretty much every theme at some point. My harm OCD got set off so badly by the Lindsay Clancy case back in January. It seemed to settle down for awhile and now is so bad again. I question if it’s even OCD at this point or if I’m actually an awful person wanting to do these things. I’m really struggling. The thoughts feel like urges and it’s all day long. I think of the case everyday wondering and trying to figure out if it was OCD that she had that turned into her losing control and feel sick to my stomach then panic that will be me. Any other Mom’s out there dealing with similar issues? Thank you.🤍

Postpartum ocd
Hi everyone. I've been struggling with post partum OCD for about 18 months. My OCD themes tend to me around POCD. I've been going to therapy since last December and I feel as tho I'm still in a constant loop there are times I do really well then times are just really bad. Can anyone give me some tips on how to help this. It just makes me feel like such a bad mom to have these types of thoughts
