I hope it wasn’t on purpose. Thank you for understanding. I feel so much guilt though it feels all too real.

@Just Breathe ❤️ You should never hate yourself friend, you have done nothing wrong. We have all had a time in our life where we just had a thought of something that we think is awful and it scares us to think that we thought that. Our thoughts don't define us, and neither do our feelings, all we can do is our best to live through this life that is often very complicated for all of us. Everything isn't always going to make sense to us all the time. But you're not in denial, you care about people, you're a kind and compassionate person just like BlueMountain said. OCD will try to make us question everything, but we just have to do our best to not try to answer those questions because it will only lead to more questions from our OCD, and we'll never have enough answers to bring us peace on what we're struggling with. Accepting the uncertainty in a situation will make a world of difference, just like BlueMountain was saying about making yourself comfortable with the bad thoughts, it really will do you a world of good. It will do a world of good for all of us, myself included. I hope you'll feel better my friend, and I hope you have a nice day. God bless Just Breathe! :)

Hey everyone, I’m going through something that really shook me up and triggered my OCD. Today I was talking to my mom about how people in our family have been talking badly about my cousin, who’s 17 and pregnant. I haven’t told my cousin anything about what they’re saying, because I don’t want to add any stress to her. I’ve honestly tried to protect her from all the drama. But then my mom told me to be careful about what I say to her, because she’s really worried my cousin could have a miscarriage from stress. She said if that happened and I had told my cousin anything, it would be my fault. I think my mom meant it out of concern, like she just wants to protect my cousin—but the way she said it came off as really harsh and it hurt me. Especially because I’ve never said anything to my cousin and I would never want to cause her any stress. Now my OCD is grabbing onto that fear. Even though I haven’t done anything wrong, it’s making me feel like, “What if something happens to the baby and it somehow ends up being your fault?” Logically, I know that doesn’t make sense. But the guilt and anxiety feel so real, and it’s hard to shake.

Im sorry I have to come on here and ask for advice once again, but as some people on here know I have been suffering with ocd since I was around the age of ten, which only got worse as my beautiful children came along. or nearly 60 years Ive had every type of ocd there is, they always come down to the same thing , not wanting to ever harm the people I love more than anything. I had got on top of this and was managing well, I know I would never harm anyone I love ever and would never ever want to, no more of the hypothetical scenarios for reassurance either , but its like every time I try to stop the mental compulsions intrusive thoughts come back after a few days, As I was in between going to sleep and was half awake the horrible words ' hope ***** dies I cannot even write the name down who it was about. I do not know where it came from but I am constantly getting upset about this as it was about someone I would give up my life for. I think you can probably guess what I mean without me having to say it. I do read a lot of posts and ocd podcasts and once read someones story wher they used to wish bad things and I have never been able to stop worrying in case something like that happened to me . Could this be what it was that has caused it ? I think Ive also still held onto something from when I was a child when I used to worry that thinking something too much could make it happen,, Please, please give me some addvice and thank you,,, sorry for the long post.
