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.
Hmm with Hyperawernes this type of Ocd seems a lot worse
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 ❤️
Idk if I have ocd or not I just want to know about 4 months ago I started getting harmful thoughts to loved ones im very scared because I would never hurt anyone. These thoughts scare me so much because they are so vivid and I have like these urges as if I’m going to do it. What is this? Am I ok? Am I going crazy please someone help it feels like I can’t take it anymore living this way with these thoughts haunting me day and night.
I don’t know what to do, I feel so lost and feel like I’m losing my mind… I don’t know what to do, I am still getting the terrible thoughts of “God is telling you to kill someone” and I’m literally mid panic attack, I keep trying to reason with logic because it even says in the 10 commandments “thou shall not murder.” So I don’t even know why I’m getting these thoughts… ugh… people say that intrusive thoughts trigger things you care about the most, which mine would be Jesus & the people around me, which is why I get the harm OCD about people I care about the most.. someone recently said that I could be schizophrenic and now I’m terribly worried that I could have that.. I am so terribly afraid of becoming “crazy” and doing horrible things… can someone please give me tips to help this, and or message me?
I am really struggling with harm ocd. ( The fear of hurting others) My ocd is very tough to combat at the minute. I feel like i’m having intrusive thoughts every minute of every single day. Except from when Im distracted. I feel guilty and foul for the thoughts. I have this strong intrusive feeling that feels impulsive, as if i’m about to act on a thought. It almost feels like I want to. But I really don’t and i’m so scared this isn’t normal. I keep thinking. “What if this isn’t OCD” “What if i did that” and it’s really worrying me as it feels relentless and as if I’m about to do it. In my head chest wrists. I feel tired of this. I don’t know much about compulsions etc but i find myself - Asking my bf if he gets intrusive thoughts like me. Asking him if he actually does and asking repeatedly. - I ask him over and over again and check if he definitely does. - I will literally try to fight the thoughts by kind of saying “ as if i’m not that type of person” Then saying everything will be okay to myself. Please can someone tell me if this is normal. Yes I may be looking for reassurance but i need to know if it is, Im scared, i’m crying. Please tell me if you’ve had this feeling of as if you’re about to do it!
