I’m scared

Cam harm ocd come out as statements in your head? I’m really scared rn and I feel like my head is going to explode. I having these terrible intrusive thoughts about my mom and family and am afraid to go home but I need to go home today from my boyfriends house. The intrusive thoughts are afraid of hurting her. It’s like they are like “ what if you want to hurt her” or “you want to hurt her” and I love my mom and I would never ever want to hurt anyone and I’m very very scared. We had a frustrating conversation with each other last week that I think is making my ocd latch on to it and be scared that I’m a terrible person who’s a psychopath. Am I a psychopath? What’s happen with my brain? I’m so terrified. Please someone tell me if this is something crazy or if this is ocd please? I’m very very scared.

@cmac1339 Are you sure? I just want to make sure that I’m not this crazy psychotic lunatic that is a terrible person. I just want to be good person and I’m so scared that I’m having a mental break down and am crazy. Can ocd cause you to have a mental breakdown? Idk I’m so scared

@Allier792 No psychotic lunatic would care whether they are psychotic or not

@cmac1339 Really you think so? I just want to make sure I’m not crazy or something. Even though the intrusive thoughts are like statements and sometimes like “oh yeah your a terrible person and maybe you want to do that” I just want to make sure I’m a good person and I’m not some lunatic whose a crazy psychopath because these intrusive thoughts come in statements a lot of the time and it makes me really really terrified that what if I don’t have Ocd and I’m actually some sort of crazy person. I’m sorry for bothering you I just want to make sure everything is okay

OCD can present itself as intrusive thoughts, urges, even commands. I have POCD and a lot of times my OCD will tell me to go and do something terrible to a child. I treat these the way that I do intrusive thoughts and just let them be there while going about my day. I also try to give them non-engagement responses when the commands or urges become really overwhelming. Something like “that would suck” “lol” “wow how creative!” “Maybe, maybe not”. We have to sit with the uncertainty and the fear of it. Over time we are teaching our brains that this isn’t so scary. ERP helps us to learn how to do these things. If you are in therapy, I would recommend talking to your therapist about your OCD and seeing what ERP they would recommend for you.

@MK30 I’m trying to find an ocd therapist through the NOCD app in order to get better. I’m very scared. How can you be so “whatever” about these terrible harm intrusive thoughts? I feel like I’m such a terrible person and I’m scared that something is wrong with me?

@Allier792 I went through ERP with an OCD trained therapist and that helped me immensely. It took me a long time to get to where I’m at and I still fall into the trap sometimes. Doing ERP is what helps our brain see that we can handle the hard things. Maybe you are going to turn into what you’re afraid of and maybe you’re not. We have to sit with the fear and the uncertainty of it. Live your life everyday to your morals and values the best that you can.

@MK30 Thank you for answering me. Is it crazy or stupid of me to be afraid of what you said? “May you are going to turn into what you’re afraid of, maybe not” is that just ocd again making me doubt myself and morals? I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions

@Allier792 I felt the same way when my therapist first said it to me. OCD loves to twist it and make you doubt. OCD is also called the doubt disorder. Try to bring yourself back to the present moment as much as possible too. If you feel you’re going down the rabbit hole, try to gently guide yourself back. Be kind to yourself and know you’re doing the best you can.

how do i know if i have OCD?

so this all started not too long ago, for literally no reason at all. but one day i got a random intrusive thought about harming others and it freaked me out bad. since then i’ve been non stop focusing on it and im genuinely scared that i am, or gonna end up like those sick people that have documentaries about them. i’ve never had these types of thoughts before and after me and my mom looked a lot of stuff up we think i have OCD cuz a lot of the stuff it was saying was accurate to me. to anyone in here, does this sound like OCD to you? i’ve always been a nice loving person and these thoughts freak me out so bad and make me feel like i’m a bad gross person. it got to the point i don’t even like looking at myself anymore. i just wanna go back to normal man. another thing to add, when i would explain this to my mom even though i was telling the full truth on how crappy this made me feel it felt like i was lying almost? but i know i wasn’t deep down. i’m just scared that what if i act on something or get in my head too much you know?
