Thank you so much for this video. We need shine more light on these themes in particular. The shame and pain one feels is so suffocating and lonely. I’m so glad you have found healing. I’m just about there. I never thought it was possible. I’m grateful to still be here and enjoying life. Tough days still happen, but I now know those days pass and I can manage it better. All the best to you.
Thank you, Delia. I’m glad I can share my story as I wish I had heard from others back when I was really struggling, unfortunately I had no idea what ocd was and that I had so the loneliest feeling possible! I’m glad to hear from you and hope that you’re keeping well x
I'm really interested in this, do you have the link to your other video. What you explained is so close to my experience, harm ocd around my child and core fear of being sent to prison and taken away from my family. I've only just realised that's what it is so want help working on this further. Thanks 😊
Jose, that was very much how my deep spiral went a few years back… false memories mixed with POCD and HOCD. I had always experienced varying themes of OCD but it was manageable and didn’t consume my every day. I’m so sorry you are struggling. Are you seeing someone to help you with this? I did for a short time… but ultimately my own research/books/support groups helped me immensely.
Ps don’t let ocd stop you becoming a parent if that’s what you want but I advise working on recovery in the lead up as I was in a very dark place when I had my baby. You’re already way ahead of me as I didn’t know i had ocd until just before she was born
That's my biggest fear about harm OCD,every time I imagine having a kids and happy family straight away i get anxious and my brain making worst scenarios..it's terrible
Hi Jade, Thanks for your videos and insights How about accepting harm ideas like Automatic thoughts but still don’t find it ok if is real !! Would like to speak to you on that theme if possible Would be really great if I can reach out to you Best
