Really good comments from everyone on this thread . I had to let out a laugh about juggling babies . Humor and laughter and connection to outlandish things helps put a brake on OCD .

You know what is interesting, I feel 99% of people 99% of the time have weird passing thoughts that barely get noticed or if they do they get shrugged off easily . With that said a person with OCD , GAD gets similar thoughts but they stick around way too long , it is how the wiring in the brain works I guess. Hang in there . Football Sunday baby toss, just joking around to lighten the mood . Truth be told I am a big fan of babies also .

@777Q So true . When I was doing really well with this illness and it was under control? These thoughts would pass through but have zero significance because I easily could say “ yeah that’s not me .”

@777Q I think that’s true. Other people can just naturally let intrusive thoughts float away. We get stuck on them. One strategy I read about was to make the thoughts more outlandish, like your football baby toss. I imagined borrowing a few more babies to juggle them. Don’t let your brain latch onto these thoughts, @iloverowdy12. Find some strategies to help you. It will get better.

Remember OCD thoughts are just thoughts. They’re meaningless. Like you said, you in your heart know you’d never throw the baby. OCD just wants you to think so because it wants you to feel unhappy or uncomfortable (which reaches its goal of making one do a compulsion). Recognize it as just a thought, let the thought pass, and continue what you’re doing. It’s tough but you can do this. Give that baby loving hugs!🥰

I recently changed my nieces diaper and gave her a bath and I didn’t think much of it. I checked her lower area to make sure she didn’t have a rash and to clean her of course. In my mind I wasn’t thinking of anything bad and I was being a good aunt making sure she was clean and changing her so she was comfortable and ready to go play. Later that day I started to have intrusive thoughts. I started to think I am a terrible person for changing her since I am not her mother and more and more intrusive thoughts started to come. I was so scared to look at my own niece. How can I become a mother in the future if I had these thoughts. I know it’s my ocd and I know I am not these thoughts but it hurts and it scares me. I want to some day have kids but I wonder if it’s possible with POCD.

How do you deal with the intrusive thoughts around babies about you doing something bad to them? I'm constantly getting these thoughts while babysitting my cousin even though I wouldn't do bad things these thoughts bother me so much

Panic.
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 it’s 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 💔 I hate OCD so much.
