Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
OCD is drivng me insane! My most recent intrusive thought was about incest. It all started when my mom was telling me that one of my cousins was molested when he was little, I was really saddened by the story. A few days later I started thinking omg what if I was molested when I was little by my dad? and the thought just does not leave my head and its really terryfying and depressing and I really just dont know what to do. I am scared to go see a psychiatrist because i dont want him to think im insane :/

Not insane, just OCD. Do you and your Dad get along well? Has he ever behaved inappropriately with other children? Do you feel extrememly anxious when you have the thought? Then its OCD. My younger sister and I both suffer from OCD, mostly "pure O" as its's called. One of my sisters main obsessions is that as well. It never ever happened, our Dad is a kind appropriate man. The thing that gets her the most is the guilt she feels after thinking that thought. Ususally my OCD is triggered by something I hear on the news or in a story and think "oh man! That's really awful! How could anyone do that?" And "pop" up comes an obsession about it. Your not alone. Seek out a therapist trained in OCD, if they are not trained in OCD the can make it worse. Specifically someone who does Cognitive behavior therapy and ERP. They will NOT think your crazy. Hope this helps.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
