Just breathe my love, you will be okay ❤️ the fact that you are even aware and accepting that you have OCD is incredible, you will get through this and live a normal life!! I have started seeing an OCD specialist and she has helped my understand that OCD is the doubting disease, it will make you feel unsure of anything that you let it, including your mental state and what you are capable of (hurting another human being). She told me that the people who actually commit these acts that we hear about on TV have absolutely no fears about it, and usually don’t even think of the act before they do it, they just do it and have no remorse! The fact that you are concerned about having these thoughts assures me that it is just OCD, you can fight this we are all here for you, stay strong ❤️

I’ve had the exact same issue. Try to keep in mind a thought is a thought. No matter how your OCD tries to form it to seem real to you. OCD is very good at figuring out the best way to word things or show images or even body sensations of what would go against your true values the most. It’s not easy to do but you have to try and accept the thoughts you’re having as just that and to let it run its course (like a song stuck in your head) try your hardest to let yourself feel the anxiety and let it pass. It can only last so long and fun fact IT CANT HURT YOU! Sorry if that seemed aggressive but I promise you’re going to be ok. You have plenty of friends here to help along the way.

Harm ocd will try and change its angle constantly. I’ve had it for months and I still get surprised with some of the stuff it puts in my head. Just identify each thought as an ocd thought and accept it. For example, say “yes that will happen” while nodding and letting the thought play in your mind

Accept the thoughts and realize that's all it is. Dont spend all your time trying to convince yourself that you would never hurt anyone because you will feed the ocd. When your having these thoughts around the people that trigger you must let them come, dont argue with them and sit in the emotions they create. Feel the sensations created by the anxiety and accept them as an experience your having. These thoughts don't define who you are, your are not a bad person. You have to habituat yourself by forcing yourself to be around your triggers without doing mental compulsions.

Thank you for all of your answers❤️ I have been Reading a lot about being skinzofrenic the last couple of days, because I am so afraid of it! So my mind is hyperaware. Thats probably Why, it send me this thought. - I feel a little better now, knowing others have tried it as well. I am still afraid though, because you know OCD. But your supportive answers means the world to me. Thank you ❤️

Horrible, feeling anxious.
Hey guys. I feel like no one will even reply to my post. I feel anxious af. I could barley eat a plate of soup. I feel so drained and fatigued and feel the anxiety in my stomach. I'm just so worried I don't even have harm ocd anymore. Its just... I grew up in a household where swatting people was normalized like if you did something really naughty. I never really questioned it and I grew up thinking it was an okay thing and would sometimes swat someone when they are being naughty growing up and even recently. I would never swat someone at full force or enough to make someone cry just more like a hard tap to get their attention but it feels automatic? And even then it's really really rare for me to do, i much rather talk sternly or tell someone. When i do swat its bc like if someone scared me I guess I hit their hand and say "THAT SCARED ME" and we both start laughing or if my older niece was roughhousing with her younger sister and the younger one gets hurt and the older one laughs, I swat the older one once or twice on her arm as a discipline and say "what is wrong with you??? Why are you laughing? You are much older than her! You could've seriously hurt her." And idk how but i never thought like how wrong this is?!... and I feel like sh/t like ocd keeps saying "well you have swatting impulses when someone is misbehaving or if someone scares or hits you, meaning if you get an impulse to do something really evil instead, you wouldnt be able to control yourself huh?" And I started to get so anxious and scared. Ive NEVER acted out on the harm ocd thoughts (nor do i even want to) ive been getting daily for 4 years even when they are misbehaving. But i get so scared like WHAT IF I get an impulse to do the evil thoughts? What if I lose control?! Is this a history of violence/ low impulse?! Does this mean i would act out on my fears?! I've never wanted to do these thoughts before but i get scared like what if I do one day? This whole day ive been ruminating and asking ai for reassurance. I feel terrible. I feel like a horrible person. I started to cry. I just cant anymore. I feel this weight on my chest. I feel so evil so irredeemable. I f/cking suck. I hate myself so much right now. I feel so much guilt and shame. Why am I still here anymore? Maybe i dont even have ocd and maybe i never did. This is just breaking my heart. I want to change and unlearn this swatting behavior as well for sure. :(

Hey!! Need help kinda urgently
So I have harm ocd for sure and I get triggered by some m1rder cases like for some reason my brain gets latched to them and the perpetrators my brain goes ‘what if they’d find you attractive’ ‘would you be one of their victims’ and it feels like they’re watching me, if that makes sense, like they’re watching me, is this a symptom of any type of OCD? Please no judgement I’m super scared and I hate that my brain does this

idk if its harm ocd anymore
I dont know whats going on. I dont know if its OCD anymore. I know it was in the beginning. Ive been through a lot of trauma and had one little scary thought of killing my sister 4 months ago that has blossomed into this giant idea of me being a serial killer and wanting to hurt everyone (I never had any social issues growing up but I have had some trauma). Recently I’ve been having urges to just give in. And my mental images have been horrible and I can’t stop checking if I like them or not. I think I’ve convinced myself I have. This morning I woke up a shaking mess with an urge to unalive my family and when my mom left for work I was alone with my sister and couldnt stop vomiting uncontrollably. I dont know if i’m upset because I cant hurt anyone and I want to, or if I’m scared and just want my old life back. I was an avid horror and gore lover and now I’m convinced I want to do the things I’ve seen in the movies. Someone please help. I’m ready to check into the psych ward.
