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 ❤️

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!

HARM OCD VENT. I feel Terrified. I am so scared that I am going to act on a terrible harm ocd intrusive thought on someone else. The idea, the sensations the urges terrify me because it feels so scarily real. I feel like im a horrible person - a danger and i’m so guilty for having intrusive thoughts. I hate knives, I avoid looking at them in real life, in the kitchen as i’m so terrified that i will do sone thing terrible. I get excited when my boyfriend cones round as i always think he knows about my thoughts so at least he would restrain me if i were to do anything bad. I just feel so scared so guilty. I have this horrible sensation of urge running through my body- currently im on the verge of tears- i feel lost. My ocd has even latched onto pumpkin carving - scared i will do something bad. Now my OCD is just being like “ maybe your avoiding is all fake and your trying to cover your a bad person” “ what if u actually want to “. “ I want to “ “ You arnt actually trying to hard from harmful objects “ its TERRIFYING. please may someone reply - I’m terrified right now its like an intrusive FEELING is in my body. Sorry guys. I NEED reassurance at this point, I don’t know what to do.
