Scary/Bad Thoughts!!!

[sunnysankey13]

Relax. This is completely normal for someone with OCD.  Many of us get violent thoughts. Have you ever read Devil in the Details? It's a great book about a woman with OCD. She talks about getting scary thoughts about killing her mother and so she avoids sharp objects. She says she loves her mother and doesn't want to hurt her and yet she is afraid that she will. She states in the book that she later found out that OCD people are the least likley people to carry out these violent thoughts. Remember, these ARE just thoughts. Maybe they are brought on by anger, or maybe they come out of nowhere, but you will not hurt your daughter. Don't feel ashamed for these thoughts either. They are a common obstacle for people like us.
