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

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.

Okay so I’ve dealt with harm OCD from the beginning. Started off with harming my kids, going to jail and then harming myself. The harm to myself stuck around for a long time. Then it went away and other themes picked up but it keeps coming back. This is like the third time it’s come back and every single time it comes back it feels worse. It feels like this is the time something is going to happen. Has anyone ever dealt with this? With old themes constantly coming back and feeling more real? Please any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
