I've read a lot about ocd as well as people's experiences on here as well as my own occasional experience with urges and they are are normal with ocd. Ocd can make you believe you want to do a lot of things because it is the doubting disease, making you doubt your morals, doubt the fact you have ocd, doubt anything. You are NOT ALONE. If you're able, see a therapist, if not, continue to look into tools to help your anxiety. It takes practice and it SUCKS and is so hard and you don't trust yourself but trust me, it is worth it.

I have been through what you are going through it's all normal for someone who has ocd. You just have to learn to manage these thoughts and feelings and not let them control you

I have found the hardest thing is having experiences that don’t feel normal and having a therapist that won’t explain to me what is ocd normal since she doesn’t want to reassure me. I just want assurance that the urge to act out is a normal experience. That the feelings I have are normal and I am on the right path. I feel like I am wandering down a path not knowing if I am on the right path. Thanks for the responses.

I used to feel so alone when I had POCD (which has returned). I’m almost convinced it’s the most prominent theme now.

POCD Trigger: I really hate this disorder and I don’t know how much longer I can do this for. I work at a daycare and I’m constantly bombarded with these thoughts that I have hurt a child or even molested them. It is the worst feeling and part of me knows I’d never do that but my OCD really does take over my life. Today, for instance, I was rocking on of the children and I rocked them for two seconds by accident and it told me I molested them. And when I when to pick them up to put them in the play area my hand accidente touched the front of their leg and it told me again I had hurt them, a similar thing happened with another child today where I was feeding them and I accidentally rocked them and I was now a molester. It really is the hardest disorder to deal with. And I hate how it attacked my occupation, I love working with kids and child psychology and everything, but my ocd is really affecting everything.

Does anyone struggling with pocd feel major anxiety when they have to look after their neice or nephew? I'm really trying to work on not ruminating but get triggered anytime I'm asked to look after someone's kid. I don't say no because I know avoidance doesn't help.

I have severe OCD and I experience all different types of intrusive thoughts and compulsions I fucking hate it! But one thing I struggle with the most is POCD! It makes me violently sick and disturbed but I know it’s not me and I know it’s not true but then why do I feel so disgusting? I have two children, one 5 and the other is 1, I don’t want to change my daughters nappys I don’t want to get her dressed (of course I do because I don’t have a choice) but it triggers me so bad and gets me in a state, I don’t know how to get over this I’ve had this certain thought for over six weeks and I can’t do it anymore, I’m so distressed they deserve better, why can’t I just be a normal person, I’ve actually thought about giving them up over these thoughts it’s breaking me and it’s breaking my heart, I actually can’t try beat this anymore.
