I have OCD. My main thoughts are about harm, to myself and to others. I was discharged from CBT treatment in January and things were going good.
But I have a 2.5 year old child who is now showing signs of behavioural issues, and can be violent to towards me and her mum. I tell myself it’s just a phase, but I can’t get it out my head that me having issues has passed on to her and I feel so guilty about it.
The stress is also making my OCD kick off more and even though I’ve dealt with most of my thoughts through treatment, I’m worried I could lose my temper and snap.
I try to reassure myself and sometimes it’s ok. But other times I can’t help thinking that she would be better off without me.
