Awe I’m so sorry as I know this pain but mostly towards my wife. I left my family for one night when my ocd started and I didn’t know it was ocd because I felt like something was gonna happen even though I know I didn’t want to hurt her or anyone else. I cried like a baby. This condition can suck the life right out of you. That was a few days shy of a year ago. You have to face your fear to be able to get to the other side . It’s the last thing you wanna do but it’s what helps us to move on with living our life in spite of ocd.

Just know that ocd is a liar and you can be reunited with them . I know it seems impossible but people with ocd don’t do what they are afraid of. They do compulsions you leaving is a compulsion. You have to fight the ocd your life isn’t over treatment could be just beginning. Your family needs you

Avoidance is a compulsion I meant. I know you feel like a monster. Ocd feels so real I thought I was a pedophile and future murdurer but actually I’m a beautiful person who is an artist and daughter. I have overcome screaming in tears at my thoughts I would hurt children someday. I heard god in my heart tell me that it was ocd and to listen to my therapist that was may 27 two years ago and I have been free from the thoughts. I’m praying so hard for you . You can literally ask me anything I want to help

You guys are amazing . Thanks for the kind words. I will be reuniting very soon. I just wish it was that easy. Last time I was around my daughter my mind was running bad and I thought I was really going to hurt her. Also I know I love her but some reason I dont feel happy around her. It makes me feel so detached which scares me more!

It’s okay be easy on yourself as you didn’t ask for this and it’s not your fault. One day last summer I had a day where my was going frantic and had the obsession that I was gonna kill my wife that day and I was saying it out loud cause it was on repeat in my head and I was crying my eyes out. It sucked but I got through it and you can too!

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.

Please read and comment kindly. Really looking for support. My child 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 them that I might as well do something else because what's more. So idk why or what overcame me other than the thought of doing it and causing another feeling (I literally had to question what to do during this and the only thing I could come up with was to move my elbow towards her groin area) but it came across my mind to elbow my child, and I elbowed their crotch or side area. Which caused another unwanted groinal sensation. Then I began FREAKING smooth out and asked my child to move. Then I've been stressing since. I feel like as a mom I don't deserve to be theirs anymore. Idk what overcame me, and in the moment, it felt like I wanted to move my elbow, but I know that can also be my OCD speaking. Right? I clearly regret it all and hate myself. I would never intentionally hurt my child; I don't know what happened in my head when this happened. I was doing SO well! Is this my POCD that I've been diagnosed with by my OCD specialized therapist? Just a struggling mom who used to be the best of the best. I'm very depressed by this. Idk what to do with myself. I live in regret now, and I just wish it would've never ever happened. I can't stop ruminating and being depressed thinking I don't deserve anything.
