Not well
I hate this disease. It’s robbed me of every ounce of happiness. I am scared to go near my daughter. I want to cry all the time. Please make it stop. How am I gonna go on like this. My baby!

I’m in a relapse right now. I am having a really hard time being around my kids as well. Baby steps. Try to resist/stop compulsions. This is where I am at.

@Mae1214 Don’t let ocd keep you from your life! Take control! I’d talk to a therapist asap. Mine has helped me so much! I know how scary it can be but life does get way better with help!

Getting my kids ready for school I would shake fearing I wouldn’t be present and I’d lose control. I had so many ocd thoughts daily I couldn’t breath. When I talked to my therapist I saw hope again.

@Movies97x How do you deal with being near your child? I woke up shaking this morning to get her ready for her last day of school.

Remember YOU are in control. It doesn’t feel like that but you are! Ocd can’t make you do anything. Be near your daughter! The thoughts you have just show how much you don’t want to do something bad to her so you won’t!

@Jennica B. No no I don’t want hurt her I just can’t stop obsessing about her or her gender identity. Everything she does makes me question if she’s who she is….and I will love her regardless but it’s like I need to know!! I can’t take it!

@Mae1214 Ocd is a bitch. It will never let you he happy until you don’t fight it anymore. Sit with the uncomfortable of not knowing. It’s hard as fu$& but with a therapists help you can do it!

Thank you All For responding and not making me feel like an asshole because of this stupid obsession. It’s so stupid. It’s so irrational. It just feels really really real especially cause it’s attached itself to her. Does that make any sense?!
