@childocdtherapist: Many kids with Moral OCD don’t look like they have OCD. Instead, they can look like they’re: • Extra honest. • Constantly apologizing. • Always worried they’ve done something wrong. • Eager to tell you every “bad” thought they have. But these behaviors aren’t simply personality traits. They’re often compulsions driven by OCD, attempts to find certainty, reduce guilt, or get reassurance that they’re still a “good” person. That’s why Moral OCD is so often missed. Parents may see a kind, thoughtful, or conscientious child, while the child is silently battling intrusive thoughts and overwhelming guilt. If these behaviors sound familiar, I have an entire podcast episode on Moral OCD, including common mistakes parents make and what actually helps. 🎧 Listen to Moral OCD: Mistakes Parents Often Make (and How to Avoid Them) www.natashadaniels.com/psp435 #ocd #ocdproblems #ocdrecovery #ocdawareness #childocd

I had moral OCD that spiraled into POCD. Darkest days of my life. My 10 year old is displaying the classic early OCD symptoms: confessing bad things he thinks he did or he can’t go to bed (I’ve been actively stopping him from telling me because I know how OCD works). We have a screening appointment for him with University of Michigan pediatric outpatient psychiatry. My silver lining is that although my parents hadn’t a clue I was suffering until it got to the point of potential self harm (I was bottle my emotions and was a checker in my own head until the lid blew open and I finally got help at 19. God the guilt I do have for having a child knowing full well

My autism (or what I at least hope I can blame on my autism) gives me a ton of signs of OCD, like to a concerning amount. Relating to these always sinks my heart a little.

This was me when I was young. It wasn’t seen as a red flag until I got in trouble one time in 3rd grade and just started uncontrollably sobbing. It still took another six years after that to get diagnosed with ocd 🤦‍♀️

Hey, is there such thing as "Religious OCD"? I heard someone mentioning it once a long time ago and identified with it. I am catholic and pray often but I do find myself repeating prayers over and over again "bc they don't sound right", "bc I didn't mean it the way I should have" or "bc I was thinking of something else while I was praying" or "had the wrong picture in my head during a specific word of the prayer" etc. I'm no longer super deep in my OCD but just last night experienced getting locked in a specific prayer bc I couldn't do it correctly. is this a thing, is it common or just me? Also feel guilty for my thoughts and feel judged and self punish for thinking of it during prayer
