It’s a thought, I had them, this problem we don’t relise. EVERYONE has them and I mean everyone, your mum you nan your uncle, Donald fucking trump has them. What the difference? We worry and plus the fact we thinks unnatural because we feel like we are the only ones. There embarrassing right so no one talks about them and that’s why we feel different because we do. Everyone has them they are just too embarrassing to talk about. 1000% certain if you asked anyone they would say ewww no and that’s because They don’t want to seem weird or odd like us feel

True, circumstances play a lot. I feel very ashamed, like I can't look at my child, or anyone, in the face. I feel so fake, when Ive always strived to be honest and real.

I want to be a good person, but I feel ocd is trying to make us believe that we are horrible. I plan on being fully honest with my therapist of the contents of my thoughts. The best one can do is face the music and live by our values, even if we are afraid of possible consequences. Are you in therapy?

Its something you need to definitely prioritize. At the end of the day, if your health is not well, it will progressively make it harder for you to be well in every other area of life. You need to take care of yourself

You don't have to explain if you're uncomfortable, but you do need to get help so you can get better and improve your life. Remember that ocd can get worse if not treated.
