OCD takes what you value most and twists it up and gives it back in the worst way possible. So if you have self harm OCD and worried about killing yourself, you love life. If you are worried about killing others (family included) you're a kind, loving person. If you're worried about screaming blasphemies in church, you love God. So don't worry about why it's happening, just know that it's normal and trying to make you second guess who you are. It's okay to love hard. Your children need that.

This was so well said! It is helpful to remind myself of this and the way you put it really makes it clear š„°

Please read this. Iāve had ocd pretty much a lot of my life but never knew what it was until my senior year of highschool. Iām 21 with 2 kids and i believe iāve had pocd a little bit before my daughter was born (which was 8 months ago). It made me start looking at all kids differently and i hate it. But it really started triggering me about 3 months ago. Iāve been thinking if iād intentionally touched or harmed my kids the wrong way, or any kids for that matter. This started giving me false memories (or at least hope they are). Iāve been having panic attacks, yelling at myself, punching walls, praying, and even thoughts of ending my own life. I grew up in a severe toxic household throughout my childhood and teenage life. Iāve never wished that on my kids since i became a dad. I wanna give them the life i never got. I look back my photos of my children and i feel like iām a complete fraud of a dad. I cannot look at my kids or be around them a lot of times. I canāt hold my daughter right. I canāt change their diaper when they need it. Even my son came and was hugging on me the other night while i was watching tv and i acted like a stranger to him. I can very little do this stuff sometimes because itās either i get relief or i push my thoughts as far back as i can. I get scared if i did something to not just my kids, but any other kids in the past. I have such a a great life and such a beautiful family. It was hard and stressful at first being young with a family but i couldnāt be more thankful at all for them. Iām just so lost and stressed right now that i just donāt know what to do anymore

When I get gronal responses it feels nice and last night even tho it was over a child it felt too nice to try to stop it⦠but can ocd do this, even tho the gronal responses was because of a child. Iām im so much distress due to this. Like they felt genuinely enjoyable and I wanted them but that itself was freaking me out
