I totally get it. I try not stop letting my son climb all over me though and try to play along with him, to resist the compulsion to push him away. But it sucks and the anxiety/ guilt makes me very tired.

Like for example, I was bathing my daughter and I was washing her butt with my hand and I was doing it and I got this intrusive thought/feeling while I was doing it but I continued to do it anyways. And now I feel like I acted on an urge.

Oh got it.Sometimes. But the fact you continued on means you fought through the intrusive thought/feeling and don’t have to worry about it anymore good job.

Like I almost feel like the thought motivated my action. Like I went in more aggressively because of the thought I had 😔 like I lost control or something. Do you have a similar theme?

True, just think that you did it for your daughter

Even though in reality I was *probably* just washing her normally. But because of the thought and feeling that I had, I feel like I did too much or did something that wasn’t necessary.

Or like another example is when I know she’s gonna like sit on my foot or think she might sit on my foot or something and then when she does I’m like why didn’t I move my foot? Obviously it’s because I was being a creep and wanted her to. Or like if I have it in my mind that my hand might graze somewhere, and then it does I’m like why didnt I try harder to prevent that from happening?

Ugh does your ocd attack during baths and stuff?

@Freemeofocd My ocd never fully goes away. It mainly attacks when she is laying with me or during showers. I get groinal responses and that’s what makes it a living hell

@Freemeofocd I also have convinced myself I have pgad. Don’t google if you don’t know what that is. I don’t want to trigger you.

Mine never goes away either it’s always like a hum in the background of my mind. But over the past few weeks it got really quiet with therapy and my medication, but it came back really strong last night 😔 it tries to latch on to anything and everything it can. Any bath, diaper change, etc. I get groinals too. So I can definitely relate. Do you have to wash your daughter? Or does she do that on her own?

I am currently pregnant too so I think my is being worse right now due to my hormones. What med are you and are you practicing erp? Did your groinal go away in that couple of weeks? And I have to wash her yes. I go as fast as I can. I also have to literally stare at her face or my eyes will go to other inappropriate places and then I feel like a piece of shit. I’m so scared to have this baby! This has never happened to me before until a few months ago but my theme originally started over the fear of death and going to hell. I’m a Christian. Anyways, I struggle every fucking day.

I’ve had many types of OCD, but I gained control over them over the years, but a new one has started to arise. Do y’all ever have scary thoughts about something you might do? Recently I’ll get extremely uncomfortable no matter where I am because I can’t stop thinking about “what if I screamed really loud in my lecture class tomorrow?” And other stupid stuff like that. Also, this one is kind of funny, but sometimes when I use the bathroom I pause before because I think “what if I’m actually in class right now?” I also cannot control the thoughts about past embarrassing moments. I know everyone does, but I will become visibly uncomfortable and harp on something from years ago. This happens all throughout the day. Also, does anyone else do things that resemble tics when you get these thoughts. Like when they happen I’ll curse under my breath or like jerk my head a little bit. When I’m in public I keep it low key but when I’m alone sometimes I’ll physically get up and pace or something when those thoughts happen. Just curious if anyone has had these experiences

Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it

I don’t know how to explain this so I’ll do it to the best of my ability. Does anyone experience “co-intrusive” thoughts that try to negatively support the initial intrusive thought? Example: Me: “Thank God I never acted on (scary intrusive thought) & I’m getting better!” Intrusive thought: “What a shame you didn’t” These types of things send me into a spiral. It makes me think that it could lead to a desire instead of staying a fear. Like an intrusive disappointment that I didn’t follow through with the thought? It’s been a long fear/obsession & I think my OCD is trying to trick me that the only satisfaction would be to act on the thought. (I know that’s bs) But IS that why it sends me the negative co-intrusive thoughts? That’s the only explanation that makes sense. Then I wonder is it something else? Am I a grenade waiting to explode??? I simply cannot relax in any moment because I think what’s the use if I’m just going to (xyz) one day?
