What are The causes of harm ocd? Mine attackes my Child. Will IT ever end?

OCD will attack the most precious things to you in your life and your morals. It doesn't care who or what it is aimed at......It will focus on the thing that scares you the most in your entire life. Hope you feel better. I am coping with a similar theme atm. I am trying not to go over innocent situations in the past where the OCD has said ... Well what if this happened or that happened.....It is crippling but I am trying to not give in and sit with the anxiety. I haven't done as well as yesterday but it will get easier. Xx

An overactive moral compass? The desire to protect, and thus the rejection of anything that seems threatening, including our own wildest scenario testing in the form of intrusive thoughts? A misfiring in the brain, that, while debilitating in moments, can be managed and adapted to with well-understood treatment methods and/or medication? OR: an actual tendency toward violence (as OCD would like us to believe)? In the end, we have to let go of our desire to know WHY if we want to be liberated from OCD logic. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. I have no doubt that it is agonizing. But that pain lives in the realm of ideas. Your child is a safe today as they were yesterday because they are so clearly loved by YOU. Sending you love and light, and the genuine belief that you will make it through to the other side.

Thx ?

When did you have your child? There’s a good website for Maternal OCD that I found very helpful: https://maternalocd.org
