Help with harm ocd?? :(
Do people with harm ocd get ALOT of intrusive thoughts around their loved ones during a day…. And urges to harm them too…

currently dealing with this in my relationship, a member of my family also struggles with harm ocd and says they experience the same thing. makes me feel super guilty because i would never in a million years do something like that. stay strong, just know you’re not alone and we will get through the storms to have a rainbow at the end. hope that helps!
totally totally hear you on this- I’ve struggled with this for the post couple months & man it’s really distressing and exhausting but you can get through it🤍
I have gotten harm ocd about everyone in my family, but mostly it centers on my parents. Urges and thoughts, all day, and then ruminating all day too. It's normal and very distressing. And you end up feeling like you are evil and living a double life.
also here’s the link to a support group on discord:) https://discord.gg/VyDJAsmuu6
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.
Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?
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.
