Harm/Suicidal OCD question?

Hi everyone, just hoping to find someone in the same boat. I wanted to ask if anyone felt the same way. I feel like im actively holding myself back and telling myself to not harm other people or myself. I feel like i’m just holding it off as long as I can till the day that I won’t care anymore and act out my thoughts. I just feel like these thoughts would ultimately happen and I’m just trying to make myself not do them at the moment. Does anyone feel the same way?🥲 Hoping I’m not the only one.

@Scaredallday Good to know I’m not alone too :( I just feel so isolated in my head, and I just feel like the doom day or whatever we call acting out intrusive thoughts will happen some time, when my will power fails me 🥲

We’ll, it just switched to a different theme. Also, I just let the thoughts be, I didn’t respond , for many years I could only have one kitchen knife and I made sure it was not sharp. I use to thave thoughts that if I ended up hurting someone one day, I would go to prison and being in prison wasn’t that bad 😞 now I kinda laugh at those thoughts. I’m able to read stories of criminals etc w out being triggered

@Scc08 For example I was just eating dinner next to my little brother on the couch and I had a fork in my hand and I felt like I really wanted to stab him in the side with it. I felt like it took everything in me to not do it

It’s horrible I feel like I’ve been in fight or flight mode since October because of this. There’s no way to calm myself down fully because the thought is there that ‘eventually you’ll act out and hurt yourself or someone else’ like it’s ‘only a matter of time.’ Truly makes me feel like I’m mental.

@CB1992 Ugh same here! Except that ive been that way since May🥲 out of all the things possible, this is the last thing I want to obsess over :( I feel you!! I just feel like I have to make a conscious effort to tell myself “don’t do it” to not act it out. I also have the thought that eventually it will happen, and I’m just delaying it as long as my will power can😭😭😭

Harm ocd urges?

Harm ocd urges Does anyone else have such strong harm ocd urges regarding your obsession that it literally feels like you’re holding back from doing it? I understand that harm ocd does indeed include urges, but can they rlly feel THAT real? Like at any time I could just “decide” to do it?

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?
