Struggling with scary urges and intrusive thoughts, feeling guilt and isolation.

Urges making me feel guilty

Yup. God I freaking hate them. I went to go give my little brother my aunt's dog and I purposely put them on the side of them because I was going to put the dog on them but then my mind was like haha you want to put it SPECIFICALLY IN A CERTAIN AREA and it was like giving me an urge to do that and do something else which I won't do but my freaking god I hate these urges. They scare the living heck out of me but it REALLY feels like I "want" to do them. Like I'm ok with it and I feel so alone in it :( Its like I really have to hold myself back not to do things (which I won't trust me) but its a feeling like that. Idk its a really scary one and honestly I don't even want to continue trying in life if thats all my mind will do towards people. Also because of that my mind instantly snapped to my early days of POCD where I was carrying a baby and had an urge I believe ? I honestly don't even know but its like well look at how easy you could've done those things maybe in the past you actually acted upon the intrusive thoughts with the baby but you didn't see it as anything bad because of your reckless behavior and moved on so you don't know if you've done it or not. Idk these urges are kind of scaring me again haha It just feels like I want to act on them and theres little nothing and hell not even myself to stop me :( Hope everyone is having a great day !

hey i struggle with physical urges you’re not alone. it’s really scary when i have a thought about hurting someone and i move (my body/body part) in that direction but my therapist says to disregard them. they are nothing more but a physical manifestation of your fears. it’s an ocd thing, if you wanna talk im here :)

Also with that memory, I can't fully see it. I've described these memories like this. Its like I've read the summary of a movie and kind of know what happens but not fully, but I've never seen the movie. I've only seen the images in the back of the dvd box. That goes the same with my past memories. I have the basis of what I did, I have a standstill image, but I can't really see it like a movie / fully like a memory playing the entire event.

For me it helps to remember the fear behind my urges, which is “what if you wanted to do this?” Like, for me urges like this are just anxiety in an “urge costume” and not some secret urge I would actually get satisfaction out of acting on. The intellectualizing/reasoning thing doesn’t work for everybody and I know in general we’re supposed to be accepting uncertainty, but sometimes this little bit of logic helps me. Hope you feel better soon!

I hate pOCD. I struggle with urges, is it normal to get urges with pOCD? My therapist said I should hold my toddler, change his diaper, etc. But I feel like I am white knuckling it through those. I also struggle after I change a diaper or give a bath that the only reason I cleaned an area was due to desire. This sucks so bad.

I need advice with harm OCD urges. I recently had urges to trip/kick people or dogs which is freaking me out. Today I was just sitting down and my aunt walked right in front of me and I started getting fearful and an urge that I was going to stick my foot out. At that moment I feel like my foot may have moved even a tiny bit. It feels so real and now I feel awful. I've overcome so many types of OCD but this one seems hard bc I'm so scared I acted out even a little. How am I supposed to feel ok if I can't even be sure I acted something out. It's kinda devastating for me.

Violent thoughts and urges

I keep thinking that I want to act on these violent thoughts I am having. I want the thoughts to go away which makes me think I don’t want to act on them but my ocd is telling me that I want to and I am even having urges to act on them. I am nervous that it is only a matter of time before something bad happens. The thoughts are directed towards my family who I love so much and I just am scared
