Honestly that doctor sounds like an absolute asshole and like he knows NOTHING about ocd. I literally can’t think of a worse thing to say to someone with harm ocd. Seriously, fuck that guy. Doctors who aren’t trained in mental health disorders should NOT be commenting on them in their patients. When I go to the general physician I let them know I have mental illness but I am currently being treated elsewhere and that I just need them to work on my body and not say a single word about anything else or I’m going to be pissed! Having intrusive violent thoughts does not mean you are violent or want to act on them. At all. In any way. I am honestly so furious that he said that to you. INTRUSIVE thought. INTRUSIVE…INTRUDING….NOT WANTED THOUGHT….. Intrusive thoughts are against the will and beliefs of the person BY THEIR VERY DEFINITION! You will not become violent when you drink because you have violent intrusive thoughts. God dammit I’m so pissed off for you, and I’m so sorry he said that to you. I don’t blame you at all for feeling completely triggered and confused and destroyed by him saying that. I would honestly not see him again if I were you, and ask for a new physician who is sensitive to your specific needs. The thing he said about “I don’t see the problem with telling you to stop drinking” OHHH MY GOD ! He’s like an abusive boyfriend trying to gaslight you and change the terms of the argument. You don’t sound like you have a problem with alcohol in any way whatsoever. He did not say “you should cut down on drinking”, he said something stupid and ignorant and triggering and is now making it worse.

@alittleapple Yes, honey! And if you think you can’t stay safe, you should seek out medical attention and maybe hospitalization so you can get yourself safe and stable again. You’re triggered and feeling bad from something right now. Give yourself the space to feel your feelings. You can be upset about this as long as you need to. Then, when you look for a new doctor, you can specify that you need someone well versed in OCD and that is sensitive to your needs. You’re such a sweet and sensitive soul, you need to have doctors that make you feel safe and in control of your own health.
