The fact that you are so worried shows how much it goes against your morals. OCD is fuelled by the most outrageous things we could think of which is why it's so scary and we give it so much attention! It's just a thought and your anxiety is just a sensation. Allow the intrusive thought into your mind when it comes and it will soon become passive and boring. The more you react the more it wins and if you try not think about it it's all you'll think about. I know it's so much easier said then done but allow the thought and accept it as that is what it is. You're strong! Keep going!!
No sometimes even people with out harm ocd have thoughts like that. It’s okay to have crazy thoughts sometimes as long as you don’t do then
Harm OCD fuckes with your brain❤️ Dont worry, because you are writing in here shows that you are afraid, and that you wont. Even though it can feel like it, but thats just harm OCD
Thank you ? I just feel so worried about it at times :(
But it’s scariest because it’s got TRUTH in it. I can’t dismiss it
I have anxiety about that stuff too you most likely won’t because you’re too worried and afraid of it now people who have harm ocd are actually the last person to harm someone
OMG I’m so happy you said this. I have the same thing and it’s scary to cause the questions just keep going on and on and the feelings say like it’s true. But I realized that it’s not. Feelings past and who you are stays the same, I believe that God made me the way I am for a purpose and on purpose. The truth is that Jesus is stronger than death- He saves me from death when I tried to end my life. These thoughts are just gling to keep taking until you have nothing left. So stay strong, remember the truth.
It wasn’t really an intrusive thought by the way. Like, it feels TRUE
I know. I’m so worried I WILL though
You guys are right. Thanks all of you, I really appreciate it! Ahhh it’s mostly just scary because in the past where I’ve dealt with harm OCD, the thoughts have been absurd and untrue. Whereas the fact that this one has a little bit of truth in it is what threw me off. But I know I’d never do it and I know it’ll be okay. I hope!
So my harm OCD thoughts have recently changed and it’s making me question what is real and what is my thoughts. Lately I’ll find myself reading news articles about murders etc, and then something in my head will be like ‘yeah but I can understand why they killed that person’ and then I become really shocked and scared that I’m beginning to sympathise with these awful people. :( does anyone else get this? Or have something similar? Thanks x
I was watching tik toks and I saw Heathers “Martha Dumptruck in the flesh, here comes the cootie squad” that one. Anyway I decided to read up on what it’s about. It’s really violent, a lot of killing and suicide stuff and one part of it talked about blowing up the school. It was terrible. Then my harm ocd started up again “what if you did any of that.” “You want to.” “You’ll find a way to do it.” I said no I won’t, I’m not that kind of person. I’m scared what if I want to. I doubt I’ll want to kill some one or blow stuff up because that’s terrible to do, but it feels so real I don’t even trust my self, I regret reading up on it. I should’ve just enjoyed the tik tok and moved on with my life
has anyone ever had thoughts of what would people’s reactions be if you were in a dangerous situation? or wanting it to actually happen but you didn’t want anyone to actually get hurt? because i’m thinking about an actual thought i had towards a dangerous situation and it’s scaring me into thinking i wanted people to get hurt. it’s just weird because when i originally had this thought, it didn’t scare me or i didn’t overthink it like i am now. i think because it’s attached to my harm thoughts, i’m scared i actually wanted people to get hurt. but then i remind myself that if i wanted that to happen, i would constantly dwell and be anxious over it. but like what if i still want it to happen?
