Homicidal thoughts and urges
Does anyone have any tips on harm ocd? How to deal with it and how to stop thinking about it on purpose? Anything helps

I completely agree with Stacy! I have dealt with Harm OCD on and off for years and the thing that has helped me the most is using non-engagement responses. I use “maybe, maybe not” in response to the scary thoughts and sometimes even agree with them! It stops the rumination process and makes a huge difference. You got this!

@EmilyCruce What about with the urges? When it feels like you actually want to do it… how do you go about that?

Remember that the more you try not to think about something, the more likely you are to think about it. Try non-engagement responses- the thought can be there and you don't need to give it any attention- you don't even give it the time of day- it is just a thought, it can hang out but you continue living your life based on your values.

@Ocdhater29 maybe try something that really hurts but doesn't affect your body in a bad way 😉 for example eating something really spicy like chilli or Tabasco or something else that really burns or hurts. Some people said when they have the feeling of hurting themselves then they take a warm and nice shower or bath If you want pain involved maybe shower really really cold or really really hot I hope I could help you wish you the best of luck 😃 God bless you and Jesus Christ and God loves you 🙏❤️

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.
