Exactly. We need to work on that. We need to trust ourselves more. We ask questions of ourselves because others made us do so due to our caring and sensitive nature. And yes we would say that because what if! Well what if OCD is just another bully masquerading as your best friend? You could tell me you master aged and came to the thought of french kissing my son and I’d still take him to the nursery you work at. You got this hales. Dig deep - DIG. DEEP! You are scared you will find a filthy unlovable paedophile. I’m willing to bet the lives of me, my wife and my two kids...... That you’ll find a hero instead. You. Can. Do. This. YOU CAN!!!!

You deserve it @hales. You really, really do! Practice makes perfect, tell yourself these things that you want to be and that you can be what you want to be, and not fear what you fear. It’s all possible, but thoughts are thoughts. Actions and defining feats. Fake it till you make it. And this is not lying to yourself. We do this with everything. Even down to learning to walk as a child. We fake it! Until we make it! You. Can. Do. This!

Compassion
So I just joined and I’ve been reading through this forum. And I feel a strong sense of compassion for everyone here. Reading about people’s OCD concerns shows me that people with OCD may be particularly sensitive and caring. I have struggled with OCD since I was a kid, but having compassion for other people’s OCD is helping me have compassion for myself. Maybe that perspective might help another person. If we can have grace for another person, we can give ourselves grace as well. I’m working on self forgiveness and gentleness when normally I beat myself up for my intrusive thoughts

I appreciate everyone on here
Every person I’ve seen commenting or making posts has been some of the most selfless and respectful people I’ve ever met. You are all truly admirable and deserve to get through whatever subtype of OCD you’re dealing with.

Past and OCD
I hope everyone is doing well today, and for those of you who are struggling my thoughts and prayers are with you. Just know your moment of peace is coming soon. I think it’s important that we post / come on here every now and again even when we are not in a moment of pure panic and fear. Remember that we are not our thoughts as hard as it is to understand. Remember that OCD makes it feel “real” and that OCD will always make us think the most inappropriate things and the most inappropriate times. Remember that all humans, have thoughts that come and go and as hard as it can be to understand you are not alone in your thoughts that feel so unique. For me I get a lot of anxiety from thoughts I used to have , which of course makes them return in full throttle. The more I push them away the more they come back. And those thought makes new connections to those things in my life I value. OCD is a pain but it’s important that as much as you hate it you learn to be compassionate and understanding that it’s there to “help” you no matter how bad it does it job sometimes. Stay strong everyone
