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 🙏❤️

Harm ocd
Hey, I suffer from harm ocd and I feel as if it’s non stop everything I do everyday I believe I killed someone I believe it’s harm ocd and false memory but like today I went to the store and saw a older lady and my head thinks of images of me pushing them or killing then and right after that thought I feel as if I done it then the rest of the day I ruminate replaying everything. I know erp and I should just accept the thought and let it go but it’s not easy and I feel as if i really hurt or killed someone and I don’t want to go to jail for something I don’t want to do . Any tips would be appreciated I don’t know how to accept and move on when it feels so real that I did something!
