Tourettes, OCD and my chilldren

[abigailcollingsParticipant]

I think my tourettes is somehow related to my contamination OCD. Both are related very strongly to  fear of hurting myself, on purpose or not. I know I am a good person, like most ocd us sufferers. But I just feel useless.. And worry about my children, I’m supposed to shied them from any type of harm but how can I like this? They don’t know about all the frightening stuff that’s in my mind, on a daily basis…

I just want to protect my little ones all the time but how can I living with ocd and tourettes?
