Harm ocd

If I want to explain to someone how harm ocd feels, i say ‘it feels like your in a room and there is a door and the door is locked, but someone has told you that behind the door there is a killer/evil person waiting there, so even though you feel safe because the door is locked you still feel fear that there is a threat waiting behind the door. Because although I feel somewhat safe because I know I’m a kind person and I’m not bad I still feel fear that these thoughts mean something 😞 this problem is the worst I pray for anyone who has to deal with this

@Anonymous I find that it makes me scared/not want to do anything new in life in case I’m evil, like I need to go to college but I keep thinking ‘say your evil though’ ‘is there any point pretending your normal, when you might not be’

flare up please respond

Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

Questions

There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.

What do you say to OCD when you have harm urges?

I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?
