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.

Okay so In the moment I get intrusive thoughts about children which I hate. I get the gronal responses which I always so many compultions after. My ocd is very bad and I’m showering and changing my bedding around 8 times. Therapists have told me I’m the worse they’ve ever known. That’s how bad my life is atm. I hate this disorder. I want to know if ocd can cause these things as it will help me to fight my compulsions and just except it’s ocd… In the moment the gronal responses are genuinely pleasurable and I struggle to ignore them and stop them, in the moment t I want them even if it was due to a thought of a kid My OCD will tell me I’m aroused I’ll feel aroused then when moving around in my bed it’ll tell me to make my vagina touch my bedding for a feeling while I’m turning over and I purposely do it in the moment… I hate it. After I do so many compilations, it’s not even me it’s like someone else controlling my body When I try to fight my compulsions I think in my mind “I like this anyways” and actually like the thoughts and gronal responses over the children, which then makes me not be able to fight them. For example my ocf was telling me to spray my feet with anti back, but then I tried to fight it and I was thinking to myself “nah l like this one I like this feeling over the kid it’s the real me” like I didn’t even feel stressed from it it’s like I wanted it. Of corse after these I do lots and many compultions Please I just want to know if ocd can do this

About 2 months ago, I sliced my arm so deep in an attempt to make this all go away.. as there was blood spurting like everywhere my life flashed before my eyes and I could hear my parents laughing in the room beside me. I started screaming for help as my eyes flooded with tears. How could their little girl do that to herself?? I was able to get to the ER and have my arm stitched up.. making my attempt a fail. But I’m so scared. I don’t want to do something like that again. I’ve never seen my parents cry except for then. The fear in their eyes haunts me up to this day. But that’s the only thing that relieves my pain. Can someone help or relate to this ???
