it feels like i actually want to harm my family when i really don’t. i haven’t been getting that much anxiety anymore and now it feels like it’s my real thoughts. i don’t want to hurt them in anyway i love them so much, i’m so scared.
i’m crying so bad right now i feel like a terrible person. i never felt like this before ever and now it’s like i completely changed as a person
I know how you feel. It's ok. You'll be alright. I feel like I'm about to snap any minute. Not do anything, but just scream and thrash around. You aren't a terrible person. This ocd is trying to trick you. Can you do something right now that will take your mind off it? I know easier said than done. I'm in bed right now bc I can't deal with these horrible feelings.
I have major anxiety now and feel it all over. Electricity going thru my body.
I am going through the same. Its scary. Try to remind yourself these are not your true feelings and only intrusive thoughts
The feeling like you want to is one of the hardest things. Especially when it feels like your identity changed or you feel as if you’ve just been this horrible person all along. It really sucks. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
first of all this is 100% not your fault this is OCD and OCD goes against all your beliefs. So if you don’t ever wanna hurt anyone, OCD will take that and turn it totally against and try to make you think you want to. You need to seek OCD based therapy. It will 100% help you , it did for me please don’t be scared because this is not your fault at all. This is all your OCD and none of your true beliefs.
i am so terrified i might hurt somebody. i have harm ocd, and lately, the things i do to make myself feel better (my compulsions) aren’t helping anymore and i don’t know what to do. i’m scared i have the urge to hurt somebody, specifically my family. i hate being in the same house as them out of fear i might want to one day grab something and kill them. i don’t. i would never dream of it. but i’m so terrified. i keep on posting about the same things, and i’m sorry, i just don’t know what else to do to make myself feel better. i know i’m supposed to sit with uncertainty, but it’s just so hard 🙁
i could use some support right now. I had a harm thought and then another one like “i think im gonna do it” and it didn’t cause me anxiety and i don’t understand why. and it felt really real and now i just feel scared and confused i keep telling myself i dont want to hurt anyone and then im like what if im just saying that
everyday i’m convinced that i’m going to hurt the people i love most. i wake up thankful it didn’t happen but then i get scared thinking about “what if today is that day you go through with it”. but then i ask myself go through with what? i don’t any intention to kill or a plan to do so. so why? why do i keep getting scared that i’m secretly wanting to do it? i’m so afraid right now, like my mind is going to rationalize it. i don’t want to hurt my family, so why does it feel this way? i’m so tired of this
