Yep, the more you try to prove the thoughts wrong, the more power it gets. Because you are thinking about it, you are cooperating with it. The best thing you can do is just try to ignore it or distract yourself until the thoughts go away. Even if it’s for 5 minutes.
Isn’t it funny, I can advise you all this yet I can’t do any of it myself. I know what to do yet I can’t do it. Ocd is the most evil, horrid thing in the world and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I think once your hormones settle, you’ll find that it gets better. At stressful times in our lives or lifechanging times in our lives ocd seems to rear it’s ugly head. It thrives on uncertainty.
One thing is for certain, you love your boy and he loves you. I hope I’m helping you a little xx
