Hi. I am new here and have been reading the posts about ocd for some time. I am pretty sure what I am experiencing is ocd (really pure o), and has been going on for about a year now. I am a stay at home mom. I have bad thoughts about harming my children. I love them more than anything, and I am just tired of having these thoughts. They used to drive me to the point of huge anxiety attacks. Feeling like i wanted to run away from myself, but no escape. I have been on zoloft for a few months now, and the way my body reacts to the fear has toned down a little. But the initial fear of this particular thing is still in the back of my mind.
It started when i would hear news stories of people harming their own kids and me wondering "how can anyone do such things?". Then releating it to my own life and then becoming fearful of losing control and acting on some crazy impulse unable to stop myself. Also constanly reasurring myself of reasons why I would never do that or never want to do that. Any input? Let me know. Thanks
I hope you find the support you need here.
