I am new to this board but I found that I have the same thing that you all do. I obsess over my thoughts all the time. Sometimes I obsess over them so much that I just want to die because they wont go away. I feel so bad because sometimes they are about my children and I dont know how to stop these thoughts and its driving me crazy! I would never hurt or harm my babies in any way they are my world. I went to the doctors and he put me on Imprimine. I have been on it for a week now and it seems to be helping a little but the thoughts are still there in the back of my mind. Please tell me im not loosing my mind.
You are not a horrible person ppl that have these thoughts are actually the ppl that would never ever act on them. They are probably the most morally sound ppl. Don't worry i also have those horrible thoughts like that you'll harm your family and they suck . But i've been having thoughts like this for alsmost a year and compared to the beginning they are much much better. I hope they will get better over time for you too.
You are not a horrible person and you are not losing your mind. I know it may feel like it, and you must feel so distressed alot of the time. OCD has a habit of picking on our insecurities and the things we care about the most.
Take Care, and I Hope the medication continues to help things improve for you.
You are not losing your mind, are not crazy and won't go crazy! I am in the same position as you having thoughts towards my child. If you read some previous posts, there are several parents that have thoughts towards their children. So you are not alone! Are you in therapy or just on medicine by your family dr. It helps in talking out your feelings to a professional who has heard it all before (just my opinion). The best advice I can give you now is see the thoughts for what they are: thoughts. Say to yourself, " I have a medical condition called OCD. It's a chemical imbalance and it's causing my brain to send false messages." In OCD'ers our brain gets stuck and our thoughts won't move forward, they keep playing over and over. Hopefully the meds will help them get un-stuck. Good luck and take care!
Horrible Thoughts :(
