Hey, I’m so sorry about that commenter giving your animal friend to your family would only reinforce your ocd fears that you are a danger to them, I have also been very numb to my ocd thoughts of feeling like a danger to others because of my depression. That fear that you don’t care is terrifying, but it’s that your brain can’t handle being scared constantly, I really recommend talking to a psychologist, therapist, counciler or helpline worker about this, and also talking to friends and family and letting them know your ocd fears.

@Anonymous I’m really glad you are. I also have the same exact thoughts like “ it feels to real to be fake I must be the exception and in denial” but that’s exactly what ocd wants

You are not a danger to your dog. Your OCD is telling you that you are but the fact that this is bothering you means that you actually love your dog and don't want any harm to come to it. This is a very typical trait for people with HOCD. Just know that you are ok and your dog is ok.

Intrusive thoughts are supposed to be unwanted but when I’m mad I’m saying out loud “ I wanna stab them” and I feel rage. That doesn’t feel like ocd anymore I’m stressed and my brain also wants me to cover my dogs nose and suffocate him . I’ve covered it before and got anxiety and I’m scared I acted on an intrusive thought by doing that so I’m just psycho I guess about to snap

(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I love my dog. He just turned seven months old yesterday. But sometimes, I get so frustrated. I came home from work and I just wanted to sit down and relax and watch my favorite TV show. But then he started jumping on me, barking, and getting into things he shouldn’t be. On top of that, I was feeling lightheaded because I haven’t been taken Zoloft lately, which is completely my fault and irresponsible of me. My dog got into a laundry basket and tipped it over, spilling all the clothes on the floor and grabbing a pair of socks. I just lost it, at that point. I chased him and yelled at him and as I went to grab the socks from him, I thought about hitting him. I don’t think I did, but I don’t know. Either way, I’m truly disgusted with myself. I hate that that was my first automatic thought. What is wrong with me? I put him in his kennel for time out and I completely just lost it. I started crying and hyperventilating. I feel horrible for feeling sorry for myself when I’m not the one hurting here. I’m truly a disgusting manipulative POS that deserves to be locked away forever
