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.

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

Harm OCD - intrusive thoughts help pls!! I’m on to a new obsession at the moment with harm ocd which is children related. I’m having similar intrusive thoughts people with children might have (fear of harming their kid) but because I don’t have children yet, it’s the fear that I will harm my own children when I eventually have them :( Does anyone else find it hard to differentiate what is general irritable with children when they’re being loud or something and what’s OCD? Like I feel like I’m gonna get really angry at a kid or something and do something crazy and it scares me so much but then it also feels like I actually want to do that to a child eventually, like I have some sort of plan :( Pls help, I’m not asking for reassurance but this obsession is really new to me. Coping mechanisms?

HARM OCD
I have horrific harm ocd towards myself and my son. I’m so sad and distressed by it. I cry often because I feel like a complete monster. The thoughts just won’t stop. I have issues with other themes as well but harm is really the main one that beats me down!!! I was doing okay. but the tragedy in TX has triggered me and I am really suffering! Does medication help? I’m trying to avoid compulsions but I believe I have mental compulsions as well. I’m just over it!!! This is not a way to live!

Mom with Harm OCD
Hi - I’m a Mom of 3 with Harm OCD. I’ve had OCD for a long time since I was a teen, prior to kids. It’s been harm/sexual orientation, etc. pretty much every theme at some point. My harm OCD got set off so badly by the Lindsay Clancy case back in January. It seemed to settle down for awhile and now is so bad again. I question if it’s even OCD at this point or if I’m actually an awful person wanting to do these things. I’m really struggling. The thoughts feel like urges and it’s all day long. I think of the case everyday wondering and trying to figure out if it was OCD that she had that turned into her losing control and feel sick to my stomach then panic that will be me. Any other Mom’s out there dealing with similar issues? Thank you.🤍
