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

Hello everybody I just am looking for someone to talk to about my harm ocd / false memory/ sexual intrusiveness. Anyone who has healed or found ways to deal with the illness. Feels like I’m losing hope more and more everyday. I want to be okay but it’s hard living with uncertainty and unwanted urges of doing something terrible. Thanks god bless.

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 ???
