I can relate with the fear that the thoughts will come back. You almost feel like it's wrong not to be anxious anymore, like what did I miss that the anxiety is gone. But it is good that you don't feel anxiety. Try to go with that, ride with that peace, be grateful for it, and let it stay. I think we get used to being so hyped all the time that the natural healthy state of calm feels foreign, but let that biological balance stay if it's there and you're calm, it's supposed to be that way!

I would say that as much as you can just let yourself think those thoughts without trying to push them away and the more you can just let them happen and watch them go by the happier you will be. When I am always trying to not think a thought I become obsessed with the thought but when I allow it to be and separate myself from it and just see it as something that comes and goes it helps me to calm down in those moments.

The fact that you aren’t anxious isn’t something to worry about. But I could see how that would feel scary. You’re making progress. The thoughts fall away soon after the anxiety but usually the anxiety has to give a little space first. I think You are amazing

Harm OCD question and should I be worried
Has anyone got something similar to me? I get the harmful thoughts I involuntarily plan it and then it gives me anxiety but it feels so similar to having an urge which makes me even more scared. Also another thing that scares me even more too is that I kind of feel desensitised to everything now so when I get those thoughts I don't really think anything of it sometimes and it makes me more scared because it feels like im maybe going crazy and that I might act on it.

Harm ocd
I was having a really good day at work and then all of a sudden, I realize that my harm OCD wasn’t there and then that reminded my brain to think about all these horrible things. I’ve been having really bad intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt people or the fear of doing these things and I caught myself ruminating on things like oh well did this movie make me feel uncomfortable so I can reassure myself that I don’t wanna do these things and it’s just that fear like that I’m gonna wanna do it and it’s not even people that I’m close to. It’s literally anyone it could be like a random stranger thing about these things cause I know that’s a compulsion. So I thought I would put a message out to see if anyone could relate or has any advice.
