What do you think would happen if you didn’t check?

@Cloclo4 When you did the double take did it feel like you have to? Sometimes I get so used to my ocd that I do my compulsions without thinking

@Cloclo4 I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was your intrusive thought before you looked back

@Savannah604 To be honest I didn’t really have an intrusive thought but like I walked by and saw a stroller but it looked empty so I was like okay phewph then I looked back to make sure and there was a baby in it then I just felt guilty cuz that baby looked so cute and innocent. But I didn’t even have an intrusive thought, I just felt bad like oh I walked by and looked back like what if I accidentally did something

@Cloclo4 I think because of your anxiety you were worried, ocd causes you to want to double check on things. if you feel like it was your ocd next time don’t look because it’s not your fault if there was or wasn’t a baby. I’m not sure if you meant that your brain told you you were happy about there not being a baby or if you wanted to make sure that there was a baby. Either way next time something like this happens do not make your self feel guilty for what has happened.

POCD I was holding my nephew, he's a newborn, and he was getting hungry so he started squirming around and grazed my chest (yes I was fully clothed). Of course, that caused anxious groinals.. It didn't feel bad in the moment just very very anxious feelings, and without thinking, I was holding his head still right there and I was moving it closer in that spot (at least felt that way) to make the feeling continue I guess. It felt like an urge because of the groinals. It was such an anxious all over my body feeling. I was so anxious and triggered by that feeling. It's like my groinals were so intense I automatically leaned into them? So I ended up having another groinal. After that I put the baby down and realized what had happened. Did I just hurt my nephew without consciously realizing it till after? Is this OCD?

Wait. Is this a compulsion? Like I didn't realize compulsions can be something like this? Not looking for reassurance but just wondering if that sounds accurate? Thanks guys! I know I'll never get the certainty I want, but I want to feel safe to be around my nephew again. I was holding my nephew, he's a newborn, and he was getting hungry so he started squirming around and grazed my chest (yes I was fully clothed). Of course, that caused very intense groinals..

It was such an anxious all over my body feeling. I was so anxious and triggered by that feeling. It's like my groinals were so intense I automatically leaned into them without thinking a second thought? So I ended up having another groinal. After that I put the baby down and realized what had happened then panicked so much.

I feel like I did something bad now because I went to put the blanket on my brother and my hand was close to his back I had a thought before like “it’s time to touch him” and I stood up and he was on a call but he was sleeping so now I’m like why did I stood up? Was it to take the iPad or what exactly? I feel like a child molester I don’t remember touching his area or butt because I didn’t but I had my hand near his back I asked my brother if I did anything he said no I asked if I did anything when I put the blanket over him he said he was sleeping so that doesn’t reassure me So I almost acted on it?
