I try to stop this in any way, but I can't, and even if I manage, it gets back the day after and so on and so on. Sometimes I hear her voice if I'm in my room, and I jump in fear, thinking that there might be something wrong, and I run to her only to find her playing.
Any advice at all as to how to get rid of this? I have tried a lot of stuff, since this is a daily issue and I have to stop it in any way to maintain my sanity. But can you help me?

My second active bout of OCD coincided with my nephew being an infant (he's now a strapping lad of 20) I had the most upsetting intrusive thoughts and urges about him becoming ill or dying. It wore me out.
Please do go and see your doctor, I eventually had to give in and accept that my OCD had gotten bad again and go back on meds. This did help eventually once I got the right treatment. Take care.
