Just remember they're only thoughts and not real desires. Don't be alarmed and just let it come and they will go away. Of course you know, you should call someone if you feel in danger.
Regarding your son - what does the school say is his learning problem? Have you heard about fish oil supplements which are good for kids who have ADD - but it also good for anyone and can help with concentration. You did the right thing in taking a break and it's very important that you tend to your own needs and not just your childrens. I hope you feel better soon. Try and take some slow deep breaths.

Not sure about OCD, but these thoughts are intrusive, for sure.
As for my son, He has ADHD, inattentive type, possible dyslexia, and has a developmental delay call Retained Assymetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. He is in therapy and in Occupational therapy. I don't know about fish oil for him because he can't swallow a pill yet.

I journaled about it and I promised yesterday that I would show my journal to my T at our appointment Saturday.
