Yes. Setting internal boundaries that people can’t disrupt who you know you are. Most likely it is someone triggering ocd which is scary and anger inducing so you need to feel protected from the trigger. Set a boundary such as I am not who my ocd or this person is saying I am. I will feel angry and upset but I will talk to my heart with comforting words that ocd is playing tricks. Also do physical things to make you feel safe. Weighted blanket, music, rain sounds, ice cubes, something soft, I understand anger issues because I used to break things and smash them and throw furniture but I read this book boundaries for your soul and it really helped, so I told u what I learned I hope it helps you too :)

I have anger issues too. What I realised is that when you try to fight it it gets worth. I learnt to use it for the ‚good‘. When you stop fighting against it and using it as something that drives you it can have a positive impact. For example I use it in sport I just let it out there. I use it in art. I express anger through writing something. And when it is an extremely bad episode where it’s extremely hard to control I either leave the house and just run till the anger is gone or I lock myself in a room and scream without letting my voice out till I feel better. My motto is however I let it out I will not harm anyone, anything or myself.

Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

I don’t know why but today I feel so incredibly angry right now and I was so frustrated with everything including my two dogs. I didn’t hurt them or hit them or anything but I was particularly annoyed and angry when they were trying to get presumably a bunny or a raccoon from underneath the shed, so I had to pull my small dog away when he wouldn’t budge away from the shed and i couldn’t pick him up because I was not close enough. I feel bad because I know I love my dogs but oh my god I just get so annoyed with them and on top of them everything else I have to just shut down all day and the things I don’t understand. I feel like I’m going insane. I don’t want my dogs to think I don’t love them because i was angry and annoyed at them. I know they’re just animals and they love me and I love them. I want them to know I’m sorry for even getting mad. I wish I didn’t feel so angry and yet so disconnected at the same time. I’m terrified I’m an evil person or that I don’t love my pets or something. I started to hit myself and punch myself because I do that when I get over the edge angry. I don’t know why I feel angry. It’s a mix of anger and emptiness and I don’t want either of them especially towards my dogs.

I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?
