Hi guys I’m having these disgusting thoughts going round my head about saying disgusting things to my son or other horrible things to people . I will obsess about and the only way I feel I can get some relief is to say it yet I don’t want to because I know people will hate me for it . The anxiety is real bad like what if I did do that . It feels like the compulsion is the urge to say it as that gives me some relief. Has anyone else had this and please could someone give me some advice on what to do as I’m not very good atm and need some help ty

hey, i'm really sorry you're going through this. it sounds incredibly tough to have those thoughts swirling around and the anxiety that comes with them. you're not alone in this struggle. 💔 i've been there with my own ocd, and what really helped me was this free AI tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my ocd therapist recommended. it'll be especially helpful for you because it provides personalized step-by-step support, just like an ocd therapist would when those urges hit you. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Hey! That can be a form of OCD called confession OCD. We feel the urge to confess our thoughts and compulsions, we get momentary relief and then it circles back worse than before. Do not give in, you will be stuck in a loop of confession. Learn that you do not need to confess every intrusive thought and compulsion. I struggle with that! What helps me is knowing we ALL think, do and experience things that are wrong or uncomfortable. But not many people consider they need to confess and move on. I try to adopt that mindset. Hope this helps!

Need some advice here as I feel like such a sick twisted person..I feel like I may have sexual intrusive thoughts ocd but sometimes I think it’s just me and my twisted brain- intrusive thoughts about my family members has turned into pedophilia ocd and what makes it worse is that I work with children. Lately I’ve been seeing sexual intrusive images of me sexually abusing young children normally male, and I am obviously distressed by them and I would never act on that but it makes me feel like I would actually do that cause of the feeling I would get and it’s all so confusing and scary cause I would never do that to a child. Please someone help that has maybe been through a similar experience?

I have severe OCD and I experience all different types of intrusive thoughts and compulsions I fucking hate it! But one thing I struggle with the most is POCD! It makes me violently sick and disturbed but I know it’s not me and I know it’s not true but then why do I feel so disgusting? I have two children, one 5 and the other is 1, I don’t want to change my daughters nappys I don’t want to get her dressed (of course I do because I don’t have a choice) but it triggers me so bad and gets me in a state, I don’t know how to get over this I’ve had this certain thought for over six weeks and I can’t do it anymore, I’m so distressed they deserve better, why can’t I just be a normal person, I’ve actually thought about giving them up over these thoughts it’s breaking me and it’s breaking my heart, I actually can’t try beat this anymore.

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
