Your poem reminded me of the movie Taken and had me imagining Liam Neeson as God, unstoppable in His pursuit of His beloved daughter. Your words are a true gift.
I also have OCD and relate so much to this invisible battle. Thanks for writing and sharing! I also write about my journey with OCD if you want to connect! 💛
I'm sorry this is the result of your trauma. Man, life is so full of hard things 😭 I'm thankful you have faith in Christ to cling to...I pray it for my daughter who has a lengthy list of medical traumas too 😥
Thank you so much for putting this into words so well. It simultaneously brings comfort knowing there are others out there who are consumed by this, but sadness in knowing there are others who are consumed by this. Your vulnerability is such a gift to us all.
This broke my heart as I read it and I am angry in my spirit against the fear that has plagued you and so many others. There are answers and I would like to help you and others overcome in Jesus' name. Is there any way we can dialogue?
Thank you, again, for putting words to the wicked battle of this vicious phobia. I never feel like I can explain it well. This is apt, and so so helpful. So grateful for you, friend.

I love that movie! I may have also had that scene in mind when I wrote this haha.
I have OCD also, and one portion of a poem that really resonates with me (re: OCD being an invisible battle) is this:
"To fight aloud is very brave -
But gallanter, I know
Who charge within the bosom
The Cavalry of Woe." - Emily Dickinson
(Hence the name of my Substack, "The Cavalry of Woe")
Blessings to you and yours!

I’m so sorry you understand this battle too.
Thank you! Getting a diagnosis and ERP therapy has brought me so much freedom. I hope you are able to find tools and strategies that bring relief.

The thoughts are real. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with others.
I feel this to the very core of my being. Thank you for putting it in to words. Keep fighting the good fight, sister. I’m in the trenches with you 💛

It’s so painful and so hard. I hate that you battle it too. He holds us. ❤️❤️
