I’ve been to the hospital a few times due to harm ocd, I don’t know how to control it and I’m just worried about my safety, but I don’t wanna go back to the hospital.. How do you guys think I can handle this..?
I have harm ocd I take medication zyprexa 10 mg and prizma 80 mg But in addition I try to put the thoughts aside- read, do sport, listen to music or rain sound which calms me a lot.. I geuss also the passage of time makes it better hope things will get well for you soon stay strong you are not alone ❤️
You really aren’t alone here - sometimes the harm ocd gives you these urges to hurt someone you love like you wanna do it or maybe it really is you huh? Well it’s not - I suffer this too and still have to remember “I don’t know what will happen and that’s okay - maybe I do maybe I don’t who cares?” Because our values tell us we aren’t what our brain says what we are you feel? I spent 20 years being nice to everyone, loving , never wanted to hurt a fly - a few months after 21 I contracted harm ocd and now all those years just out the window cause our brain tells us that? No. You have to fight to be better but by finding inner peace. You can’t tell yourself “no that’s not me” “no I wouldn’t EVER do that” because you know that but your brain will only feed of that. It’s a horrible illness. Inner peace can be so hard to find when it feels like this is you but it’s not. You’re here to get help, you feel horrible for your thoughts? It’s not you.
Erp helped me

Ty to all of you<3
Hello everybody I just am looking for someone to talk to about my harm ocd / false memory/ sexual intrusiveness. Anyone who has healed or found ways to deal with the illness. Feels like I’m losing hope more and more everyday. I want to be okay but it’s hard living with uncertainty and unwanted urges of doing something terrible. Thanks god bless.
About 2 months ago, I sliced my arm so deep in an attempt to make this all go away.. as there was blood spurting like everywhere my life flashed before my eyes and I could hear my parents laughing in the room beside me. I started screaming for help as my eyes flooded with tears. How could their little girl do that to herself?? I was able to get to the ER and have my arm stitched up.. making my attempt a fail. But I’m so scared. I don’t want to do something like that again. I’ve never seen my parents cry except for then. The fear in their eyes haunts me up to this day. But that’s the only thing that relieves my pain. Can someone help or relate to this ???
Anybody else struggling with harm OCD?? Father here, mainly goes for my wife and son. It’s been very debilitating. Just started with nocd, anybody going through the same thing or has gotten better??
