hi there
it's normal... for OCD. many times i have had very disturbing thoughts about how i might hurt my cats. still happens now and then but not with the same frequency since being treated. and at least now I know what it is. i have never hurt my cats of course. thinking you are going to hurt others is an OCD thing. (it might be something else too, but I can only speak for OCD). the only thing i can say is that you should remind yourself that in all this time you have never hurt your child or anyone else and there is no reason to think you ever will. you're not delusional, you know the thoughts are bad. so you're NOT like those people you hear about on the news. these are just thoughts and they can't hurt anyone. |

that's what I think it is to cause(ocd) I have never been a person like that to my kids I really think its been since I have been watching my sisters kids which in my opion need help with behavior and they are hard for me to control them and I get stressed!I get annoy easier now to it sucks! I just wanna be normal again I wanna be myself and what's weird is I also starting feeling different like not a emotionally close to my kids since this and that starts making me panic then I say that im just not feeling a close as I used to cause of the ocd

i've always been a devoted mother. i have also had the thoughts about hurting my children. i found when i worked in a day care center that these thoughts got worse and i was not as close to my own kids. i figured out after i went out on maternity leave that the problem was that i was putting so much of my "kid" energy into the other kids that i had nothing left over for my own. when i left the day care the thoughts got better, didn't go completely away but far less and i got close to my kids again. just my experience.
