How can I be sitting here, perfectly fine and happy, and then get an intrusive urge that makes me feel like I want to or have to hurt someone? How does this happen in a split second? How can something so sinister turn on that quick? It’s so scary because it comes out of nowhere.
Just when you least expect ... OCD hurts you when you are most vulnerable, its like you being ok makes him angry .. so it attacks Just like the school bully.
Been there. You’re not alone.
I too suffer from the same thing. It is terrifying.
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?
does anyone else get really vivid intrusive thoughts of the person who you are talking to (or close to physically) just randomly striking you violently? i keep getting them when i’m just talking to my dad one on one in the car & i get a flash of intrusive thoughts of him grabbing my hair & shoving my face in the dashboard. it gets me so anxious :’)
