Please let a professional know at once ..I don't intend to alarm ANYONE but mental health/ mental illness can contribute to your having these thoughts and both you and your daughter DESERVE to get this help . You might consider letting a very trusted friend or family stay with you or allow your child to take a break at their house while you get help and recoup / recover a bit . This must be heartbreaking and terrifying and that's perfectly " normal " , the reaction is normal . The thought itself and what is causing it really must be first addressed by a Dr ( psychiatrist/ psychologist ) because one MUST rule out a medical cause in your situation . Go to the E.R. with great honesty in your heart if you don't have a psychiatrist. If you have one or a therapist ? CALL NOW . They WANT you to seek help.

I have been assessed by a mental health assessment team, which included a psychiatric team, i spoke about the contents of my thoughts and they ruled out other mental Health conditions. and your post does cause me alarm as it has made me panic. I have suffered all my life with OCD and terribly for the last 9 years.

I feel this way too sometimes. I have a different subtype, but I too become numb and disconnected. If I do ____, then I won’t be anxious anymore is a common thought too. It’s a LIE from your brain to give in to whatever compulsion you have. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s extremely painful.

my compulsions are usually checking and internal but I just worry its not OCD as why am I not wanting to kill myself? why am I not carrying out all sorts of compulsions like everyone else does to stop anything from happening? I would give anything to die right now and give my family someone else. I feel tortured every minute of every day.

As a nurse and because I am a professional trained when to identify a potential , possible very serious issue like this ...I err on the safe side of the childs safety / welfare . Are you familiar with mandated reporters and how many bad outcomes / tragedies are avoided ? Listening 🎧 is critical ...there's two phases to this 1. Thinking you might harm a vulnerable child - thought 2. Considering the act may relieve ones suffering ( solution ? ) Are you qualified or do you personally know this person well enough to say " Nevermind , this child is fine , it's okay " and write it off as OCD at once ? It may very well be but I am just adding another set of eyes , my own input .

Hey all, This is so strange to share this, and I have been judged by others and misdiagnosed many times. About a year ago I worked with an OCD therapist and it was really triggering. For me my thoughts are mainly about suicidal ocd and harm ocd centered around my children of all things. Fear that I could or would want to hurt them, then feeling so horrible that I believe I’m suicidal then I go back and forth on that. After reading a few of your posts, it makes me truly have a bit of hope that I can overcome this.

Please comment. Just say if follows along the OCD pattern or not. I don't need reassurance per se! My daughter was laying across me and every time I breathed a certain way I was getting a groinal sensation. I kept breathing like that anyways (ugh idk why), and then my mind told me I had hurt/a**aulted her that I might as well do something else to hurt because what's more. So idk why or what overcame me other than the thought of doing it because my mind told me I had hurt her already ("my mind literally made me question what to do and I guess the only thing I could come up with was using my elbow) and causing another feeling but it came across my mind to elbow her, and I elbowed her crotch or side/thigh area. Which caused another very unwanted groinal sensation. Then I began FREAKING smooth out. And I've been stressing since. I feel like as a mom I don't deserve to be hers anymore. Idk what overcame me but my therapist says it's all OCD. I was doing SO well! Is this really OCD? This has all caused me a great amount of anxiety. I feel like a terrible person and mom. I just need help knowing if this is OCD. Not wanting reassurance. Just wanting to know if this lines up with the POCD I've been diagnosed with by my current therapist.
