You have posted similar posts before - the answer is that you have OCD. You don't need to resist hugs from your daughter, instead: hug her as much as you can. Disobey your OCD, show it that you don't care. Treat the thoughts as nonsense. If you continue to focus on them and try to figure out why and how to stop them, they will get worse. Be kind to yourself. OCD is a real pain - but you can starve it of your engagement.

@Anony1314 I think it could help to stop trying to “figure out” these thoughts. And try your best not to label the thoughts either! 🙂

@Anony1314 I can’t give you the reassurance you are seeking right now unfortunately, but I can tell you that avoiding hugging your daughter will continue to make your POCD stronger. Remember, you have been here before and you have conquered this theme. You can do it again 💪

@Stay.Fluid Thank you friend. I understand. Could I ask this: does this sound like OCD at all? Even if it felt desired?

@Anony1314 Not sure if this is the post you were referring to, however, the looping thoughts and trying to figure them out and label them is 100% ocd. The more you’re able to sit with them, and easier they’ll fade away.

@Anony1314 You have been diagnosed and gone through ERP for OCD haven’t you? 🙂

@Anony1314 So, similar to what the person above was saying. I don’t want to feed into reassuring you simply because that will lead you into leaning more into your ocd than trusting yourself. It does sound like, yes, you’re in the weeds of an ocd spiral. I would recommend reaching out to your therapist if you need to discuss it further.

@Anony1314 I am so sorry about your relapse. You’ve got this!!! Remember: hug, snuggle, forehead kiss your kiddo. Change the clothes, dance to the music and give the baths! Don’t let your OCD win! 💪

You are not attracted to your daughter. The fact you are so worried about this shows you are not. You have to keep fighting. Spend time with your daughter and hug her! It will be difficult, but it'll fight against your OCD. You can do it! I belive in you! I have Pocd too, and it kept me away from my baby brother for so long. But when I isolated from him it got worse. Now I can hug him and change him comfortably. Do I still have a bad thought occasionally? Yeah, and it hurts, but if I ignore my ocd and just keep playing with him, soon It goes away. It'll take a long time, but please keep going!
