does anyone else have this? is this normal?

okay so i’ve had anxiety since i was atleast 8 and ocd since i could remember. and i’ve always done this thing where i’m like omg what if this is a sign and it stresses me out so much.. lately i’ve been having harm ocd thoughts worrying about hurting my partner and then yesterday i came across a tik tok video of a girl doing a reading and in the video she said whatever you’re thinking just do it and make that change and then in my head i’m like " what if this is trying to give me a sign about my harm ocd thoughts, what if it’s telling me to do it" but the thing is i would never hurt anyone nor even want to think about doing it.. these thoughts make me so anxious is this overthinking and does this count as intrusive thoughts as well? i’m always worried and think that what if one day i start to listen to my thoughts about thinking it’s a sign and it makes me SO ANXIOUS. is this normal for ocd/anxiety and how do i get rid of it?

Hey there. I understand u. Noooo. U ARE NOT YOUR OCD and u are not gonna hurt anyone. That girl meant about the thoughts when it comes to achieving our dreams. And it must have triggered u to think this way. Those thoughts are just thoughts. They don't define u. Do u go to therapy

i know it just makes me so worried that i’m even letting my thoughts get to me…i should know better. so the fact that i get worried when my ocd tells me "what if this is a sign to cause harm" i get super anxious and i start to think is this even ocd to think like THAT? i don’t go to therapy but i am on anxiety pills

i guess that’s ocds way of making me try to doubt that it’s even ocd so that it causes more worry.. i just hate how i let it even get to me like and that i believe it that it even gets to worry me i’m worried that one day i’ll give into my thoughts and believe them :(

I believe tiktok can hear what we talk about and every time i’m anxious it will confirm my anxiety. i’ve learned not to look to tik tok for signs

Thank you for sharing what you are going through. For me most often when I try to avoid thoughts and other triggers they only intensify. Accepting the uncomfortable thoughts/feelings is often more effective. However, of course, easier said than done. I know you said you are not currently in therapy. ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) is a treatment method for OCD that has helped me address my OCD. Please consider reaching out to the NOCD care team.

I have this strong feeling that someone is watchinh me whenever I'm alone. So i would be constantly checking my back and it really scares me. I dont know if its one of my intrusive thoughts caused by my ocd or im just being a scaredy cat. How long have u been taking therapy. I've had ocd my whole life. It's really mentally draining. And my focus and concentration is messed up because of my intruisive thoughts obsessions and compultions.

I’ve had OCD for many years. The times that I’ve been doing ERP therapy have been the times that I’ve been able to better manage my OCD. I can completely relate to the the intrusive thoughts etc. messing with the ability to concentrate. For me Therapy has helped me to be able to Limit the compulsions And handle the thoughts. Things can get better With tine and practice.

Harm OCD thoughts

Everyday i have unwanted thoughts and images in my head of me harming my loved ones in horrible ways, also urges too. i’m not like that at all, i don’t want to be like that at all and i also have an extreme fear of becoming a bad person and harming the people i love, or snapping out of anger and harming people. These thoughts scare me a lot and im really sad that i have these thoughts at all and its taking a toll on my mental health. whenever i see something like a gun or a knife or something like that i get anxious and scared at the thought that i could hurt someone with those things and i get thought about me in a position where i hurt someone. the last thing i want is to hurt anyone. i just wanna make people happy and i wanna treat others with kindness. i don’t want to do any of that i don’t wanna be a bad person. i hate these thoughts in my head and im so anxious at the thought that im gonna commit them. can someone help me and give me some advice on what to do?

Is this how other people think too

We all have triggers to our OCD but what mine are like are i just recently got out of my OCD attacks, but recently there’s a story of a girl who recently committed and me being dumb knowing that that stuff triggers me watched all about it. now my thoughts are “what if i do that” “what if im not happy in my life” “what if i want to kill myself” but also “your just like her your depressed and want too” and “your not happy” when in all reality i’ve been so happy with my life and living until i started watching all of those videos. I’ve been panicking all day and have been isolating myself from everything because i feel like everything is a trigger to my thoughts. my thoughts are convincing me that i want to kms and im not happy but in reality i am. i hate ocd so much i hate it. because i know i would never do this thought but its causes so much stress and time of my life i feel that i cant function.
