Can your intrusive thoughts turn into dreams?? Ive been struggling with harm OCD bad this last week for my first time and had multiple dreams last night of harm and it makes me so uneasy. Makes me doubt myself and think i would do it especially if im even dreaming about it and thats my biggest fear
I’ve also definitely dealt with Harm OCD in dreams, at first it seriously scared the hell out of me but from learning more about it I know having dreams with your OCD theme is a very common thing. I’ve had dreams where seemingly my intrusive thoughts came true but just know they are only thoughts. Best wishes 🙏
Thank you for the response! Its my first week of ever having this it came on suddenly and i had so many grusome dreams last night that normally wouldn’t bother me and i could shake off but this time it did.
I has the same problem when I had ocd for the first time. I even woke up in the midle of the night thinking I have to check my kids if I didn't Hurt them. Then I started with Zoloft and it saved my life. It is horrible at the begining But don't worry you wont hurt anybody.
I started zoloft a week ago. I sure hope it works!! Im having the hardest time with this. I feel pyschotic
It is only the feeling. It will work I am sure. After 8 weeks of high dose I am on 150 I am back again. I remember those thoughts and how hard it was. It helped meditation and body awernes tehnicque for me. And erp therapy. If you have any question be free to ask me🙂
On what dose are you
50mg right now. I used to be on it a little just for anxiety but never took it long enough to see a difference.
Unfortunately, OCD will attack you whenever and however it can
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.
So at night I have these intrusive thoughts that I leave the door wide open. This causes me to fear that someone will walk in the house and harm my family. I also have this back massage device. I fear that if I leave it plugged in on accident a fire will happen. So I went down to make sure that it was not plugged in. The thing is that I never used the massager that day. When I went back up I felt like I opened the front door (an entrance to my house) even though I didn't. I had to get my wife to check the door other wise I would not have slept. When I checked it I became more insecure. This has been reoccurence with me.
