You must be exhausted. I've seen you post a lot. Please try nonengagement responses. I know it's hard, but you've felt this guilty for too long. All this guilt shows that you're a changed person. Nonengagement responses can be like "I don't need to think about this" "Maybe, maybe not" "I don't need to figure this out" Etc. please try it. It's hard but it helps :) I wish you the best
Something my counselor taught me was to tell myself “ I don’t need to think about this right this second, I’ll schedule and appointment with my self at blank time” and then that’s when I would sit down and address anything that I had thought about that bothered me earlier and usually by that point I had moved past it but it really has been helpful. Just an idea 👍 I hope you feel better soon
Oh man, that can be so exhausting! I'm sorry that happened to you. Remember to take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself when you're having a down day, give yourself some extra grace. Tomorrow is a new day, you got this!!
POCD Trigger: I really hate this disorder and I don’t know how much longer I can do this for. I work at a daycare and I’m constantly bombarded with these thoughts that I have hurt a child or even molested them. It is the worst feeling and part of me knows I’d never do that but my OCD really does take over my life. Today, for instance, I was rocking on of the children and I rocked them for two seconds by accident and it told me I molested them. And when I when to pick them up to put them in the play area my hand accidente touched the front of their leg and it told me again I had hurt them, a similar thing happened with another child today where I was feeding them and I accidentally rocked them and I was now a molester. It really is the hardest disorder to deal with. And I hate how it attacked my occupation, I love working with kids and child psychology and everything, but my ocd is really affecting everything.
This day has been on of the worst in my entire life. It started with having HOCD. Around the mid-day it changed to POCD. And now I'm back to HOCD. The whole day ruined by looking for reassurance on Google. I get urges of killing myself. I can't take this anymore
It feels as real as it can get today, I’m in such a bad flare with my ocd lately and I don’t know what’s happened. I was doing so so well and I’m back to this horrible place. Everything is getting to me, the real details especially. It’s all just consuming me today. I feel terrible.
