Cannibalism
Any advise on how to over come cannibalism thoughts. I have thought about it to much where I feel like there is no return. It made me question everything.

Lean towards the uncertainty. ‘Maybe I like cannibalism, maybe I don’t. This is my OCD and I choose not to engage it at this time and I will move forward with whatever I want to do at this time!’ Hope this helps you!!!

Oh my God this is the theme of my harm ocd can’t believe I found someone suffering from the same horrible thought.. what I do after living a year with it is try not to engage with the thought it was hard at the beginning but gets easier.. and sometimes I found that saying ok mind you do it can quiten the mind.. I know this ocd theme believe me it began after being traumatized by photos of this theme, hang in there you are not alone ❤️

@Loranqadri I had suffered from this theme before and it was horrible. I was able to get past it but now I feel more stuck than ever. The worst part is looking at the people I love and have this horrible thought’s. The scariest part for me is when I feel like I wouldn’t care to be a cannibal and that I won’t be able to interact with people without worrying about this. Thinking about how I could not think about this before keeps me stuck. I definitely need to stick to exposures.

@JessiJess If you want to talk anytime I am here for you, I know the feeling of not caring it occurs to me also and makes me sometimes scared sometimes I say ok, let’s move on… maybe that is the mind adjusting to it.. learn to let your awareness flout give yourself time alone to meditate, and yes stick to exposures 🙏

I have overcome this. I remember seeing a tv show when I was a teen about a cannibal and it made me scared to death that I could be one. You can overcome it! OCD is crazy!

@Anonymous Thank you for your comment. The first thought I had was when I saw a show where a bird was eating a bird. And I got past it but then recently I was cutting some steak and it came again. I hope to over come it soon. It is scary. Worst theme of all.

Also listening to rain sounds for a set time trying not to think of anything helps, trying to sit in cafe’s where there is people and my mind can then be trained that I am not going to hurt them.. by time I am able to mix with people almost without the thought but at the beginning I could not even look at my family, and yes this crisis messed with my faith too.

@stargirlll I’m so sorry you are going through. I know it is a horrible feeling. I am doing better now, but I have moments on some days where it sticks again. I treat it like any other theme and try to just embrace uncertainty. This has been the hardest thought for me to pass, but it has not been the worst.
