Feels so real
The harm thoughts feel so real I feel like they’re true and I’m a psychopath..it’s like I convinced myself I am evil and they won’t stop and I’m getting exhausted

 same here I’m having these intrusive thoughts of killing people it does feel so real it’s like it’s already happened. I try to keep going to YouTube make sure I’m not a psychopath but we know that we’re not gonna do this. This is not what we are this goes against our values, even though it feels so real. We need to keep fighting this. 
How long have you been suffering with harm OCD? I’ve been suffering since 2012 in and out of hospitals I’m 22 now nothing is getting better. I just keep going to the hospital but they keep giving me the same medication just increasing it or changing it but nothing is working. I get really frustrated because I want to live my life without these intrusive thoughts interfering with my life.
@Edwin P About 13 years now on and off.. the past 6 years had been great with meds and good therapy.. I should start back
@Kaayslimm Can you tell me which medication has worked for you ?
Yeah, mine been getting worse lately. It’s telling me that I’m gonna be in prison I’m gonna go to jail I’m gonna kill somebody. This is my OCD every day I wake up I like going to sleep because I don’t have to think about anything
@Edwin P These are the thoughts on having right now
I was feeling suicidal lately I feel like ending my life feel like that’s the only option. I what to rest in peace I don’t want to die but OCD it’s a b,it.ch. 
@Edwin P Yes I can understand because I have those thoughts too. I want to live and be happy but my thoughts are telling me I don’t even want that and I like being this way and thinking these thoughts but they aren’t me at all
@Edwin P We have to keep going.. are you in therapy with someone who knows about OCD?
Well, I tried it NOCD but they turned me down. And charge me $200. 
I only have a psychiatrist and that’s about it. I am going to look for a therapist even though they’re not specialize in OCD I have insurance but this company does not take my insurance and I can I cannot afford $200 every visit 
@Edwin P Yes please get into talk therapy it definitely helps.. someone who specializes in ocd among other things would just know how to handle the harm part better
@Edwin P You need do ERP… part of why you’re not recovering and suffering so long is because you’re not speaking to someone that specializes in OCD.
Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared
There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
