Freaking out a little bit! So I’m currently on a history trip learning more about WW1 and we’ve touched in the topic that men were just killed with machine guns really rapidly. And I thought ‘huh, that might be kind of satisfying’. But it’s sent me spiralling a bit. Does that mean I could kill? It’s like I’m video games where you just shoot for the ‘fun’ of it. I’m so scared.

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!
