@leokatieocdadhd: Childhood OCD often goes unrecognized because symptoms can be hidden behind magical thinking, strict bedtime routines, or secret mental checking. Children frequently keep these compulsions to themselves out of fear of appearing "weird" or misunderstood. When distress is driven by an intense need for symmetry, exactness, or neutralizing distressing thoughts, standard reassurance rarely resolves the fear. Recognizing these early signs helps break the cycle and connects individuals with specialized, evidence-based care like ERP. #ocd #childhoodocd #ocdawareness #ocdsymptoms #MentalHealth
Doesn’t help that #1 actually happened to me but it was a June bug in a water bottle I had orange juice in. 😭

I used to sleep with ear muffs and a long pillow cover so bugs didn’t get to me. I also compulsively checked the weather every hour and picked my skin. I understand

I didn’t know it until I was older and was diagnosed, but when I was around 6 or 7, I would get bad/morbid intrusive thoughts of everyone I loved dying. I would then lay awake at night praying for hours until it felt safe enough to stop. My mom would be so mad at me because I never slept. My brain convinced me that if I thought about something bad happening, it would come true. I developed many other types of ocd as I’ve aged. My medication helps a bit, but I feel as though it will never go away. And now my oldest child is having the same issues.

when i was yiubger and found out what asbestos was i convinced myself it was in my house walls and made sure every night i slept far away from the wall as possible to be safe. I also believed that whrn my bedroom tv was turned off i was being spyed on and ‘they’ would come and hurt me so every time i went in a room id run for the remote to turn it on. Weird stuff like that that drove me mad as a kid that i didnt know werent normal
