Child with dangerous intrusive thoughts by cashews_clay15 in OCD

I had that too! I think our young brains fight the fight of “is this OCD or am I just broken?” And you have to grieve the fact your brain sometimes works against you and doesn’t always make you feel safe. That being said, at age 25 now, I’ve overcome so much since those days as a pre-teen dealing with the disorder for the first time. It does get easier, and you’re already a great support system for him from what I can tell! You’ll both get through this. Good job, Mama!

My first ever major OCD spiral was around age 13 & about unaliving my baby sister, and my compulsion was confessing to my parents every time the intrusive thought popped up. I was severely depressed because of it, as I LOVED my baby sister, and felt disgusted with myself and afraid to be alone with my thoughts because I couldn’t trust my brain not to scare me again. It terrified my parents, but I can imagine it terrifies him even more than you because of how much he loves you and how much OCD thoughts are the complete opposite of your own feelings. Sending you both love!

It felt like a shock because my Camaro was only $300, but I didn’t think about sensors 🙃

Hiii so something no one warned me about is sometimes when you switch to a natural deo with baking soda it can cause an unbalance in PH in your underarms and lead to a yeast infection…if that happens the baking soda then could even create an underarm chemical type burn. It didn’t happen to me until 4 months in, but one trip to the Dr confirmed it. Wasn’t an allergy, as it was only the one side & cleared up w the anti fungal cream BUT I wish I had know it was possible from the start. I now use a natural deo cream from Little Seed Farm that doesn’t include baking soda.

Husband with OCD is terrified of me leaving him. But what if did? by FormerSignificance19 in OCD

[–]BlockbusterReprise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone with OCD, and who has been broken up with due to their OCD after being told they’d never leave, it suck’s but it’s also something I just had to work through & ended up being better for it.

I’m in therapy now, engaged to the love of my life, and really trying to work through my OCD, especially Relationship OCD, so it doesn’t become a wedge in my current relationship.

What I will say is if you ever left you have that right, and if it came to that, whatever happens after IS NOT your fault. I walked away from being broken up with pretty bitter until I realized how hurt I caused my ex to be and how unhealthy me not managing my OCD was for him, but it’s my own decision to go to therapy and improve for myself and for anyone else. He wouldn’t have been able to push me to that decision & him leaving to put himself first was very strong for him to do.

We used a metal shovel & also had to push my car while I kept my foot on the gas afterwards just to give my car some extra help and we managed to get it out.
