Harm ocd
Anyone sometimes confused is it was an intrusive thought or did you really think it?

Yep! And when that happens I try to take my identity out of it by saying to myself “this is an OCD thought- that’s not my job anymore” I say this because if it were true, that I was truly thinking of harm I probably wouldn’t see that as being wrong…so as long as I feel discomfort by those harm thoughts I know they’re not mine…that’s just the OCD trying to get me to do it’s work

Here's one for you: I've never had harm as a theme (knock on wood). But when my second child was born, for two days I had all kinds of harmful thoughts. But I was able to just ignore them, it actually was kind of funny and astounding, what my brain was able to come up with. And after a short while it came to a complete stop! Nice try OCD!

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Does anyone ever mimic/imagine harm OCD thoughts?
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

Questions
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.
