      I this is really frightening me , I’m a long term term ocd sufferer ( currently waiting for therapy with as a specialist ocd centre in london)

      I was at my parents on Xmas day and my niece  wanted to watch some YouTube videos whilst I was laying on my bed, she wanted to put the iPad on my stomach and sit with me, whilst she was sitting with me I noticed her and I asked her to stop moving and pretended it was hurting me, I then got a cushion and put it under her so [Edited by moderators], I then needed to go to the toilet so I gently slid her off me [Edited by moderators] , the whole thing felt uncomfortable and straight away I thought I’m gunna  start ruminating about this , and now I’m thinking did I Keep her siting with me too long? And it’s making me feel sick to my stomach, I’m not bad but I feel like one and I dunno what to do !  I’m really close to my niece and wouldn’t hurt her in any way please help make these thoughts go away

        Hey,

        I can only comment as a fellow OCD “victim” and not a therapist, but the fact that you are worried about this is a sign you are a good person and not at all what your OCD is telling you.

         

        I haven’t had a situation like this but I have had false attractions. I feel like because you’re so aware of it and the more you try to not think about it the more you end up thinking about it and the more you end up feeling it.

        And it’s not through genuine attraction that you get these, but through your mind just thinking about it.

        like you said, you know you’re not a p! You would know if you are. I can completely relate to what you’re saying, and it is terrifying. But with good therapy and also knowing that deep down you’re a good person, you will get better 🙂

        I hope this helps! Would you mind checking out and responding to my recent post? It’s titled “I’m back again…”

        No worries if not, but would be much appreciated 🙂 happy new year!
