It sent me into a really bad spiral. I didn’t know the woman’s name and looked it up to see who you were talking about and got a wave of anxiety over my body lol. I could feel the blood leave my face. You’re not alone. I have a daughter and this scares me really bad.
I just posted this too!!!! I’m very triggered by it. I had a really good run before this happened and it’s being talked about everywhere , at my work, friends, I can’t escape it!
Same here,I was doing so well. This brought me alllll the way back :( hugs to you
Me. 100%. I just commented on another thread as well. I have a friend who was friends with her and worked with her so it is hitting so close to home. It’s all anyone is talking about as we live near by. I have cried looking at my kids recently worried that somehow that could be me.
Yes. I've been so triggered by this. I have harm ocd surrounding my child and one of my biggest fears is going crazy and causing harm etc...I tried reading about this as an exposure and when I read all of the details(I don't know why they would include the details of the scene) I freaked out with overwhelming anxiety and I can't get out of this cycle now of anxiety ruminating all if that. Thinking this will be or could be me someday makes me feel so sick to my stomach and depressed... I feel guilty that I have made this tragedy personal with my ocd.. does anyone else feel the same? How are you dealing? My therapist says not to compare..it is so triggering it's overwhelming
I just posted about this. I have two beautiful children. It was very triggering. I kept having anxiety attacks thinking that could be me. How do we not compare ourselves to this?
My heart goes out to all the Mama’s struggling over this story.🤍
It was so devastating. The hardest part of all of it (aside from the obvious devastation for their family) was the shame that’s followed for moms that have dealt/are dealing with anything postpartum related from uneducated, insensitive people. We have zero idea right now what she was truly going through. So many have jumped on this bandwagon of PP shame and it’s very scary as a mother to read. I’ve read horrible, horrible comments that have been so triggering as a mom struggling with OCD. Do I believe Tik Tok is a lion’s den and broadcasting to those that have zero understanding is wise? No. I think platforms like this where we all can understand each other is much healthier. I’ve had to disengage from all of it. It’s much too triggering for me.
At this point only god knows why it happened. Maybe this will push psychiatry to further research and trial for ppd or ppp. I’ve exhausted myself trying to figure it out. Mental Illness is the worst. I’m nervous around my babies. My compulsion is I just keep praying.
I am really struggling with harm ocd. ( The fear of hurting others) My ocd is very tough to combat at the minute. I feel like i’m having intrusive thoughts every minute of every single day. Except from when Im distracted. I feel guilty and foul for the thoughts. I have this strong intrusive feeling that feels impulsive, as if i’m about to act on a thought. It almost feels like I want to. But I really don’t and i’m so scared this isn’t normal. I keep thinking. “What if this isn’t OCD” “What if i did that” and it’s really worrying me as it feels relentless and as if I’m about to do it. In my head chest wrists. I feel tired of this. I don’t know much about compulsions etc but i find myself - Asking my bf if he gets intrusive thoughts like me. Asking him if he actually does and asking repeatedly. - I ask him over and over again and check if he definitely does. - I will literally try to fight the thoughts by kind of saying “ as if i’m not that type of person” Then saying everything will be okay to myself. Please can someone tell me if this is normal. Yes I may be looking for reassurance but i need to know if it is, Im scared, i’m crying. Please tell me if you’ve had this feeling of as if you’re about to do it!
Does anyone have harm OCD related to recent events? Like events that just happened or happened not long ago? I feel like my OCD is trying to find something bad/immoral I could have done in nearly every situation that I am experiencing, for example “Did you just do that?”. And I constantly want to check, ask people for reassurance, try to find a logic answer by going it though in my head,… It’s many different themes but all related to doing sth bad/immoral (e.g., touching someone inappropriately, pushing someone in front of a vehicle, putting something in a drink/food). Does anyone have the same? Or the other thing that I experienced recently is that I did something (a rather unimportant action, not harming anyone) and I go over and over it and ask myself “why did you do that? What does that say about you? Are you actually a weird person?” It feels like I draw “false conclusions” from a real event… I don’t know if that’s OCD though or not. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Good luck to you all! We’re not alone in this! 😊
