hi there everybody,been reading this board recently and thought its time for me to get my expierience with pure o off my chest and see if it helps.it started a little over a year ago when my son was about 3 months old,i was playing with him in the house when a realy weird thought came into my head,dont realy wont to go into detail about the thought just now.ever since that day,all ive done is feel guilty,worthless and ashamed for even thinking like that.actyually thought i was going mental until i read about ocd on the net,that did make me feeel a bit better and the more reading i do the better it seems to get,still to scared to go and see my gp though just incase he,s never heard of pure o,mad i know.lol.anyway thats all for now,im trying to write all this on my lunch break.any replies will be greatly appreciated,i know i havnt really asked a question.lol.

hi dc, welcome to the board. i have heard of pure o through charles linden's website, there were some media clips on there talking about the symptoms and help. there's some literature on ocduk too. i too sometimes have unwanted thoughts pop into my head but i am able to let them float in and float out as i know i don't really believe them. easier said than done though. keep posting as it does help to talk and vent.

take care
laura

thanks for the replys guy,s,it did make me feel a bit better to post yesterday as it was the first time ive ever tried to tell anyone how ive been feeling this pasy year.don,t think i realy explained every thing very well yesterday as i was in a rush because i was in work and didny realy want anyone to see what i was writing.quick question to anyone who reads this,did you go to your gp with your intrusive thoughts and did it help more than just using self help books?cheers.
