Hi, yes I get where you are coming from. It all feels like mental torture. Some days like today I just feel overwhelmed by it all and just meltdown and cry.
Even when I try to reassure myself by saying it’s just OCD, it’s a mental illness you’re dealing with, something doubts in my mind like is it really OCD?
Like you said, you think to yourself what on earth would possess me to do anything like that? So out of character? And something that makes me horrified and repulsed.
I worry that I’ll always feel like this, always worry if that thing happened or not. Though logically I know I wouldn’t have.
When I look at my baby I see a happy little boy. I tell myself he wouldn’t be that way if I’d hurt him in some way. But as you know, nothing convinces us and that’s the hard part.
It does feel like a trap, how can I do things in life feeling like I did something wrong? So basically you feel absolutely stuck 🙁
Do you have Facebook?
