new symptom😵‍💫 anybody know about this one?

recently In the place I live in there is a man who rapped his own child on the lose. Cops looking for him everywhere ofc! But, since this pig lived soo near me.. I feel scared.. idk if it’s OCD or if I’m naturally freaked out but.. I just feel like he gon pop up in my home In need to hide or to kill me bc they say he’s armed like I don’t even want to walk to my bus stop bc he could be near. I keep remembering how there was a massacre in Texas elementary school not so long ago & im scared that’s gon happen to me when I start school. I am completely scared. Then also too, two youn girls were kidnapped & killed not over a month ago & I keep asking myself what happens after death & the question constantly feels scary to think about. I keep imagining how it would be if I was dead, I keep questioning what were those girls going through what did they feel, will that happen to me? I keep imagining myself going through some sort of suffering then dying. :/ I’m panicked, I feel a pain in my chest.

Hi! This sounds horribly scary, and I’m sorry you are dealing with this. This is one of those situations that with or without mental illness, is a difficult one to digest and know how to act during. I admire you for trying to stay strong and safe through all of this, and hope that this man and the murderer you are speaking of are soon found and take accountability. But please, try and pour your energy into what you can control while you stay as safe as you can <3 do something you love, bake/cook something you love, be gentle and comfort yourself when you feel the most afraid. My little brother really struggles with OCD about people coming in the night and something I always do to calm him down when he’s having an episode is distract. This doesn’t apply to all situations, but I think especially when it comes to OCD about death it really helps me to deal with the unknown by fully embracing the known. Hugging my loved ones a little closer. Feelings the safety of my sheets at night. These things are special, and if our fears can do anything, they can help us to take them less for granted? Or at least that’s how I like to see it. I hope you feel better soon and am sending you warm wishes <33

Yes! I get the same things. When one negative thought creeps in, more and more are added and your mind just keeps looking for more to worry abt

I feel something really similar to this right now and it’s so hard to toe that line between what’s a “normal” reaction and what’s OCD. But I agree about holding tight to the good knowns, like your kids or pets or friends. And distraction. My partner’s been really helping me with both.

Is this apart of ocd?

Hi I just have a few questions! (Im 14 btw) Okay so basically I’m really worried I’ll become a pedo/I already am and I don’t know it yet. I’m also really scared if I SA someone, even tho I don’t want to and I’d never do something like that but I feel like this part of me is saying that I will and it’s really scaring me. I feel so alone and I’m so scared I’m a bad person on the inside and this isn’t ocd and I’m gonna unleash hell on this earth I’m so scared. I’ll get a thought like if I’m walking past someone random it will be like “What if you sa them?” And it scares me so bad I feel horrible for thinking that. Is this apart of it? I feel like I’m always fixated on the topic of sa to check if I would do something like that, I don’t know anymore I just feel like a bad person (btw I have not done anything like that to anyone!)

i haven’t been diagnosed with ocd but I have anxiety about harming other people/family members and it’s like urges and im scared I actually want to do it? I don’t think I’ve ever been violent as a kid (im 21 now) and the intrusive thoughts don’t go away so im just stuck all day everyday for the past few weeks just thinking and being scared about it and im having all these weird emotions like being irritated and angry I don’t want to hurt people I don’t think idk why my mind is making me think I do I’ve had intrusive thoughts before that I could brush away sure it took like a day or two but this one is different it doesn’t go away and leaves me with the worst fear imaginable and nothing I look up that should be giving me relief is giving me relief + I feel like im not in control of my body and that im just gonna lose it and act on these thoughts it’s just all on a loop and im not sure how im supposed to live the rest of my life when im in constant fear of my self

Hey!! Need help kinda urgently

So I have harm ocd for sure and I get triggered by some m1rder cases like for some reason my brain gets latched to them and the perpetrators my brain goes ‘what if they’d find you attractive’ ‘would you be one of their victims’ and it feels like they’re watching me, if that makes sense, like they’re watching me, is this a symptom of any type of OCD? Please no judgement I’m super scared and I hate that my brain does this
