Work
I have been offered another childcare job which makes me so happy, I love kids and working with them is so special and I want to do it… but I’m extremely scared because of my POCD. Sometimes my my intrusive thoughts can focus on really specific things which makes it even worse :(( I love childcare and have been told I have a real talent for it. I’ve been told that I’m really good and even had some kids who weren’t very social with staff be social with me and loved being with me!! I loved working in childcare too because I could bring out and heal my inner child, I could be creative, it’s an amazing job. I’m just so terrified that my POCD will ruin it, especially since my intrusive thoughts can be so specific and detailed, I get extremely sick and nervous and I feel such shame and guilt, I also come home and beat myself up about it, I try and focus on other things which can work but then the intrusive thoughts just come back and I start to panic all over again. I just have no idea what to do :(( I also want to talk to a therapist on here but unfortunately can’t because I don’t live in America :(( is there another way I can get in contact with someone?!
