I just came across a news article and it said a mom pushed her baby off a counter on purpose and it was caught on tape. It was disturbing to see fr and itβs making me panic because I babysit a lot, what if I did that to my nieces or what if I would do that to my nieces π I hate OCD so much.
i know how you feel, just the thought of you being potentially capable for such horrible stuff messes you up :( just remember just because you think could do something doesnβt actually mean youβd do it or even want to

I know this is the same advice but it is the truth. In the face of any βwhat ifβ and itβs accompanying paralysing anxiety, there isnβt often a short term solution. The long term solution is to sit with the feelings for a certain amount of time (you can increase this amount of time incrementally) without acting out your compulsions. Every single second you expose yourself to the negative emotion is a win. In time, and hundreds of baby steps, you will climb the mountain. You will then hopefully find out that they are only emotions. Their deceptions nothing more than illusions. The short term solution is to act out a compulsion to relieve anxiety. This makes it worse in the long run. You cannot do this. Donβt tolerate OCD. It is a deceiver and aims to rob you of your peace and joy. Donβt tolerate it, or at-least incrementally learn not to. Enjoy babysitting your nieces, donβt tolerate OCD or play itβs games. Itβs like a nicotine addiction. The short term solution to withdrawals is to smoke a cigarette, but you only get more addicted in the long run. But by smoking one less cigarette every week, you can live a smoker free life. All the best to you, I hope this is helpful. I will Pray for you. Keep optimistic.

What if I did this to my nieces and Iβm going to jail. Harm OCD scares me so much. Sometimes I think the same with my dogs. Theyβre so cute and then Iβll think βwhat if I stabbed my dogβ π€’
Hi NOCD community, I was hoping to get some advice from fellow sufferers. In December we welcomed the first baby into the family, my beautiful niece. Since then, my POCD has been awful, which I know is probably very normal. Last week, in the middle of a very high stress day in my family, I was changing my niece and as usually happens, I got intrusive thoughts about awful things people do to babies when changing them. The thoughts were so harrowing to have as I was also changing her at the exact same time, and I felt my hands just quickly want to finish patting her dry before putting her nappy on, and for some reason, my heart dropped with that hand movement, because I was afraid that I had acted out the awful thoughts in my head, in a moment of mania because my morals, values and heart do not align with abuse of any kind, especially to children. My niece is my everything, and I know I would never want harm to come to her in any way, shape or form. I love her endlessly. I am having therapy, but have only had a couple of sessions. But, I cannot shake the 'what if'. I am tortured over trying to remember what it was I did that made my heart drop, but I can't, and its getting fuzzier and fuzzier the more I try to remember. Could anyone offer any advice on this please? Thank you.
So Iβve just found out Iβm pregnant and Iβm freaking out rn Iβve been getting thoughts like βIβll be a bad mumβ and overthinking everything & my OCD is convincing me that Iβll act on my thoughts because of my hormones and stuff. Iβve also got a fear of being sick & Iβm stressing over that too. Anyone else who has harm OCD pregnant or a Mum can give me some advice plsπ

So my sis came to visit with my nephew for the first time. So the other day we were taking pics with the baby I was already feeling kinda nervous cuz I never held a baby before. Anyway it was my turn and I like I wonder if this would sexually stimulate him( not exactly the thought but the of thought was more graphic and I don't wanna disturb anyone). And I can't remember if I thought that while I was bumping him on my stomach (like how people bump babies on their hips) or before I started doing so. Anyways I can't really remember what my reaction to that thought was or if I started bumping him before or after I had that thought... So I tried not to think much of it but over time I started to spiral really bad and wonder why I thought that and why then I would bump him on my stomach after having that thought or during. I just feel so disgusted. Like was I curious about it? Did I disregard the thought because my brain thinks disturbing things? Ik right now away from that situation that ofc I have no sexual interest in my nephew at all. I played with him and helped changed diaper and everything and never had the urge to do anything inappropriate to him besides that one weird instance. So like I'm so disturbed like did that mean something? I have P OCD but that didn't really feel like an intrusive thought? I also can be very impulsive, and if it was impulsive does that mean I had a desire? Now I'm terrified of having kids even though I wanted some or to foster some. I mean I know but myself I'm not sexually attracted to kids but then why would I think that I am so disturbed really and feel so sick. ππππ I don't know what to do I'm so scared about what my motivation was I feel so bad and scaredππππ
