Mine comes and goes I have 3 children 14,13,9 … had it since my 1st was born ! It makes me feel like I’m being taken over like I’m a monster inside and I’m terrified I’ll hurt my kids but then I think hmmm 🤔 so in 14 years why haven’t I ? All those opportunities I could have and I never have , wish my OCD would get the message and do one ! I’ve had CBT & talking therapies and I’m in sertraline all the way down to 25mg , I’m managing the OCD now but it comes and goes , I’ll always have it but I am not it , my children are safe ❤️
@Bossmummy01 Yea exactly it scares us!! Mine started when I was younger health ocd , than after I had my daughter was about her health then out of no where had that sentence stuck in my head
Stay strong you too. You both are great moms. I also struggle with harm ocd. It’s very very hard to deal with everyday
@Christopher97 Makes me want to give up
@Christopher97 Do you guys obsess about the same thing mine isn’t graphic it’s just that same sentence over and over again
@Norman12! So mine was actually what I was seeing on the news, then I hallucinated on drugs and while I was tripping I thought I was going to turn into what I was seeing on the news. And it was turning into the devil and killing. That was over 10 years ago and I’m still stuck in those thoughts
@Christopher97 Omgg no no mine is just a sentence !
Omg I just posted about my experience with this. I'm having such a terrible day and my anxiety is through the roof.
@libramama88 Omg mine was controlled for a year! Out of no where last week it came back I hate it so much we just increased my ssri hoping it helps
I too was controlled for about six months and then I discontinued medication but have resumed it but it is not working like it use to. I'm crawling out of my skin. I'm on Seroquel and Anafril and I was feeling okay but two days ago I just started feeling so depressed and now I'm just in such an anxious place.
@libramama88 I’m on Paxil and wellbutrain , was doing great for a year amazing with my ocd , I just have one thought and it scared me “kill your daughter” I obsess about it so bad to the point it scares me and makes me scared , it’s been gone until I was in TikTok and that case w the Massachusetts mom popped up and legit brought my ocd all back I’ve been horrible they upped my meds last week waiting for them to kick in 😭🫶🏽
@Norman12! I too have harm ocd. I do not have children but am terrified to have them now due to being diagnosed with this. I saw the tik tok about that mother as well and the comments saying things like “this is ocd” my heart sank and I was absolutely terrified and had a panic attack. I know I would never ever do anything like that and read endless of articles by very knowledge psychiatrist’s saying people with harm ocd is not considered dangerous and that they never had a case where someone hurt themselves or someone else because ocd thoughts are ego dystonic which means thoughts of the exact opposite of what you think and who you are. Please be mindful there is so much misinformation on the internet. There is always more to the story than what is shown. You know who are as a person and you know that these are just pointless thoughts just trying to get an anxious reaction out of you nothing to do with actions or who you are!❤️
Yeah it’s terrifying but I’m going to therapy and taking meds. Trying to control it. Have you tried therapy?
@Christopher97 I have not I was doing amazing and then this case that a mother killed her kids triggered me since than I been a mess! They upped my ssri 20mg to 40mg last week I did book app for Simone to call me from this app to set up therapy
@Norman12! Yeah seeing disturbing stuff on tv makes me think it’s going to happen to me and I’m going to be a danger to people. I hate it. I hope therapy helps you
@Christopher97 Ya that’s what triggered me I had to under control too 😭
Just goes to show that ocd is just our mind is just playing tricks on us
@Christopher97 I hate it when it’s in my head all day and only thing I can focus on I feel insane at times
@Christopher97 I use to google search before I was diagnosed and thought I had Schyzo lmao I don’t .
Oh I know exactly how you feel. I’m never really in the moment. I always thought I was crazy so I just never opened up and harbored my thoughts for years. But it’s so nice seeing that there’s so many of us that deal with this
@Christopher97 When I have my flare ups I feel like a whole different person it’s so weird like anxious can’t think about anything other than that
@Norman12! I know how you feel. I had a flare up and it completely ruined a relationship that I was so happy in. I didn’t even know what to say cause I didn’t wanna sound like a psychopath
Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you
Hi there! I am 4 months postpartum and struggling with harm ocd, the fear of what if I harm my child. It has manifested to the fear of what if I harm my husband, sister, nieces, parents, etc. Anyone else have this experience and how did you get through it?
I have HOCD and my biggest dream is becoming a mother. However, with my intrusive thoughts/images I’ve stopped trying to conceive. Is there any other people that has been going through this same fear?
