Why do I have distressing harm thoughts about loved ones?

I hate harm ocd !😖😭

I don’t want to do evil things to people i love why do i even have these thoughts and images of me doing these things why is my brain this way… my heart feels broken because i love the people i have these thoughts about its not even me its like a Demond in my brain it doesn’t shut the f*** up. I just want to have peaceful loving thoughts… this is distressing. Anyone else going through this?

I went through this as well. And the only thing that helped me was drawing closer to God(Jesus) and prayer. I had someone pray over me for the tormenting demon to leave. And I don't nearly suffer like that anymore. But I still struggle but not with harm ocd. Thank GOD

We are spiritual beings after all living on planet earth in this thing we call “outer space”. I definitely believe in a Higher power. I actually have been in prayer everyday to rebuke this evil spirit or whatever it is… lets see how it Goes.

Don’t avoid things. I wanted to a invite a friend over and my intrusive thoughts said why do you can kill her. Terrifying! But she was already coming and before she got here I felt anxious. But while she was here I was anxious at first also slightly worried about her contaminating my sofa that’s another theme so I haven’t sat on the sofa she sat on yet idk. But anyway the night was fine I didn’t have any intrusive thoughts about her while she was here from what I remember. Apart from I made her a drink and my brain was like have you poisoned her?! But yes apart from that we had a good time and I think it proved to my brain that my thoughts and me etc are not dangerous! Makes the thoughts feel less real!

Our creator the grand architect is Very powerful apparently Jesus sits near to him and Jesus has said “ The father is greater than i “ “Greater is the one who has sent me “ If he is the messiah and the prophets are speaking the truth of his words then the word is Good and the word is Holy. Ive read the red letters in the book. I agree with his teachings. Such as “if your love me then keep the fathers commandments”, “those who kill shall see the lake of fire “ do not kill the innocent “ We are divine beings, creations of the father. Apparently Jesus was tempted by the devil as well. Let us pray and rebuke these evil thoughts. And let us repent and praise our creator our life giver, let us fear the lord but also give love to the lord. 7,000 different religions. Which one is the truth ?

Why is my OCD mainly based around thoughts of hurting those that I love most in this world?! It distressed me to no end and I don’t understand

Harm OCD thoughts

Everyday i have unwanted thoughts and images in my head of me harming my loved ones in horrible ways, also urges too. i’m not like that at all, i don’t want to be like that at all and i also have an extreme fear of becoming a bad person and harming the people i love, or snapping out of anger and harming people. These thoughts scare me a lot and im really sad that i have these thoughts at all and its taking a toll on my mental health. whenever i see something like a gun or a knife or something like that i get anxious and scared at the thought that i could hurt someone with those things and i get thought about me in a position where i hurt someone. the last thing i want is to hurt anyone. i just wanna make people happy and i wanna treat others with kindness. i don’t want to do any of that i don’t wanna be a bad person. i hate these thoughts in my head and im so anxious at the thought that im gonna commit them. can someone help me and give me some advice on what to do?
