People post this exact thing over and over again. So you’re not alone.
@Nica for sure won’t be finishing it!!
Many people in the facebook groups I've been in have been triggered by it.

@ChocolateBiscuit39 Same here! I’ve never had a harm related intrusive thought up until lately and now I’m sooo scared. I too am in a state of terror. And i would never want to snap or do anything wrong but my mind keeps telling me what if deep down you want to and i can’t take it anymore.
@ChocolateBiscuit39 This is me in this exact moment as we speak. I’m at home with my loved ones and my thoughts have doubled with intensity since i have walked in the door. And yes i don’t want to isolate myself so I’m trying to act like my normal self and it’s so hard :( it does make me feel a little better knowing that I’m not alone. But it’s still so scary
@ChocolateBiscuit39 this is exactly me. i’ve never had harm ocd and now all of a sudden i’m like “OMG DID I ENJOY THAT” it’s freaky
I went through the same stuff last year with horror movies and violent video games I stopped watching and playing them because I was terrified. That was my biggest mistake . Turn your TV on an start off slowly watching it. Don't let ocd do what it did to me last year I got faith on all of yall. Love you guys and wish you the best.
@andy1121 thank you so much
Yup, I refuse to watch it. Sets off my triggers
@Paul2001 it’s so hardddd
Yup agreed i refuse to watch because just seeing the way i react to pictures or memes about is triggering enough.
@Anon17 EXACTLY. i’m like wait.. did i secretly like that? it freaks me out
@allie05 I guess my worst fear in this specific moment is just turning out to be like him. Like it’s so scary. and it’s weird because stuff like that never used to bother me and now all of a sudden it’s like boom in your face. I keep question ing my sanity because I’m scared to end up like that. It’s soo bad.
@Anon17 EXACTLY
@allie05 Okay I’m so sorry you are struggling and I’m not trying to be rude but it makes me feel so much better knowing that I’m not the only one feeling this way. Like I’m not completely as ease but i feel like i can relax just a little bit more knowing I’m not the only one. It’s so scary and hearing stories that he was bipolar and stuff makes me terrified even though i am not bipolar but it’s the constant thought of you never know.
@Anon17 This exactly!
@Anon17 yes!! you’re totally fine- remember that we fear the things that we want the least 💞
Yes i am constantly worried about the what if i want these horrific things thought. And my other thing is what if i just snap and go crazy without even realizing it? I also sometimes have images of myself behind bars and that makes it even more scary to think of consequences because what if i actually want it. It’s so scary but i keep trying to tell myself that it’s ocd and that calms me down for a little bit but not long. ☹️

@ChocolateBiscuit39 this helps me!!
@ChocolateBiscuit39 Yes, thank you so much for this conversation it really helped me a lot
What is Jeff Dahmer show?
Yes! I have PTSD from just watching the trailer and tik tok. My brain is exhausted. It’s a theme for a lot of us this week.
I watched the trailer for the movie “Am I Ok?” and got completely triggered. Basically a 32 yo woman discovers she’s a lesbian seemingly out of nowhere. I was triggers and did some research (bad idea) and apparently some people who are gay have never had romantic or sexual interest in people of the same sex until one spontaneous moment of discovery. Now I’m worried that this could be me!! I’ve never had a long term relationship, have had crushes and fantasies but back out when things get too close for me. I do prefer my little fantasy world guy but now I’m wondering if maybe I missed something and am in denial, even if I didn’t know it.
So I have harm ocd for sure and I get triggered by some m1rder cases like for some reason my brain gets latched to them and the perpetrators my brain goes ‘what if they’d find you attractive’ ‘would you be one of their victims’ and it feels like they’re watching me, if that makes sense, like they’re watching me, is this a symptom of any type of OCD? Please no judgement I’m super scared and I hate that my brain does this
wrote a very triggering post. this wasnt supposed to happen. im starting to believe that i'm a ****phile that suppress its feelings. "Our brains are wired to respond to certain stimuli, like attractiveness, quickly and automatically. This can happen even if we don't consciously want to feel that way. In your case, the combination of the trigger and your brain's automatic reaction might have contributed to the discomfort you felt." but it's wrong. it wasnt supposed to happen. it shouldn't be allowed in my brain to perceive the look of attractiveness in the legs and body of someone that looked so young... i didnt have desire for it though. i was disturbed and distressed when it happened and as i felt and noticed this perception and reaction. it's crazy to think that none of this would have happened if i didnt trigger myself in 2021 at 16 years old.
