Yep. OCD makes you believe you are a special case and maybe you don’t have OCD but you are actually insane/ bad person. Also OCD can make you scared you have a serious psychological pathologie. That’s pretty normal. Therapy will help you so much 💕 Be brave and congrats on your baby

Yes! I question all the time whether I have something more than OCD. It's something I often tell my therapist, that I think I'm a psychopath, and she doesn't even bat an eyelid when I say this stuff because she KNOWS and I KNOW it's "just" OCD. But I 100% understand where you're coming from. OCD is so irrational. I haven't yet done ERP therapy as no one seems to practice it here where I live :( (my therapist is doing CBT with me), so I still struggle with the thoughts of "oh, I'm definitely a monster, this can't be ocd, I must be a secure predator".

I feel you, I get it. I have expressed that to my psychiatrist & therapist many times... how I think I might end up in prison & will do something horrible to my child :( just like some women actually have. But I have to remember it is OCD & I’m not these thoughts. But “what if’s” and the fact that anyone is capable... along with the uncertainty of the future 🙁

@Soccerchick16 Ah man, do you know how many times I message my poor mother to say "mom, I'm so scared I'm going to go to prison." You know, I'm so scared of harming a child that I don't even want to have kids anymore :(. BUT I'm only saying this to express to you how much I understand how you feel. I KNOW that choosing not to have children because of my OCD is avoidance behavior and is only making the OCD stronger. Just remember that you are INCREDIBLY strong for facing these thoughts each and every day. And trust me on this: if you truly wanted to hurt your child, you wouldn't be on this group and you wouldn't be feeling so horrible and guilty 💛. I know I'm reassuring you now which is NOT the recommended line of OCD treatment 😉, but just take comfort in the fact that I along with so many others relate to what you're feeling 100% and that we're all here on this group because dammit, we HATE the thoughts we have. You can reach out to me any time if you want to chat about this. But just know this: your child is very lucky to have a mama who cares so much!!

Hey! You’re totally not alone. I was terrified of ending up in prison the rest of my life bc I was afraid I’d act on my thoughts. That was a huge trigger for me and had to do ERP and it’s no longer a trigger for me. I’m preggo right now and my harm OCD got soooooo bad. We have a OCD mom group on KIK if you wanted to be added where we talk about our experiences and motivate each other :)
