Ok...

So within the last 9 months I have had a baby, a very rocky relationship, whilst trying to work. But in the last month everything has been great.

I was around some young boys and i thought ' I bet they think I am really ugly compared to my cousin' and then i thought' that's weird, why did i think that'....that has nowspiralled out of control, and i am thinkking that I am a freak.

I know I am not but the thought has taken over my life. I have looked into OCD and sounds like it is fitting, however am i just going through a weird patch, will it just go away? Had the thought ofr two weeks and only getting worse. Its like I am so paranoid about the weird thought that my mind makes me think it!!

I just want it to go away and be normal again!!

I would try to let the thought go tbh, it sounds like the sort of thing anyone who had their confidence knocked in a bad relationship and had just had a baby would think.

I really wouldn't give it another thought, hth.

Oh and I like to think I gave up my "perfect" body (whatever that is! we are all different or it would be a very boring grey world) to have my gorgeous children and I would do it a million times over without a second thought! I still try to keep my body as nice as I can for my own self esteem but it's a case of making the best of what you have got Smile

nothing wrong with you pink you are utterly normal. We have all thought weird things just dont dwell on them

PinkiePoo · 09/11/2011 19:19

the thing is...i thought that was weird to think that about lets be honest children, so then got it into my head that I am weird...i know i am not...but when something sticks..

GRRRR. I feel like I am going mad

Just a random thought that your paying too much attention to! Everyone has random thoughts at times but let them pass and don't attach any meaning to them. The problem with intrusive thoughts is the meaning you attach to them e.g I must be weird or a bad person for having the thought. Trust me you are not weird and it Definitely sounds like an intrusive thought, let it go!

I'm no medic...but doesn't sound like OCD to me.
