I need help

I have probably the worst intrusive thought ever and I obsess over it big time. I’m scared that im the worst person ever with secret hidden violent desires and urges. Im so scared that ill become this murderer or perform an action i dont want to do. Today its been extra hard as I feel like I have an urge to do something. I feel like i am empathetic person ever like I even save bees from the pool when they are drowning. But this harm ocd makes me question everything and its a living hell and I feel so alone and scared and I dont want anybody to be scared of me and ive never felt more lonely in my life. I just want this to end.

You don’t have control over intrusive thoughts, but those thoughts doesn’t define you as a person, nor does it define reality ❤️ just cause a thought pops up, it doesn’t mean that it’s true

Yes.... it's trying to bully you into thinking that. You aren't that person. I understand what you are going thru. Have the same thing and have been anxious so much I'm really surprised I'm still here. I'm trying today to fight back bc it wants you to think you are that person and you aren't. I wish I could help more, but you aren't alone in this. I've taken to bed now which, isn't good, but just exhausted by it all

hey, i hear you and it sounds incredibly tough to deal with those thoughts, especially when they're so at odds with who you really are. 💔 it's brave of you to reach out and share this. you should try "unstuck," a new ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (just google "unstuck app for ocd"). my nocd therapist recommended it to me, and honestly, it's been a game changer this past month. might help you too. 🌟

You have control over lessening the compulsions but not intrusive thoughts. I don’t have control over those thoughts either, but I tell myself that it’s not real, or I just say “okay” or “I hear you” to those thoughts rather than telling my brain it’s wrong, and then I divert my attention to something else that’s engaging and fun.

It's a thought, not a real desire or urge. That's what I read in your post.

Please help. I am struggling.

My Harm OCD is out of control. I’m trying so hard to keep living my life, but it’s scaring me even more. It’s starting to feel more real. It’s feeling like I’m right on the edge of acting on my thoughts and that I actually want to do it. It feels like this is never going to go away and I’m now this person who is going to harm someone. I’m at work because I’m supposed to keep living my life and not do compulsions. But not doing them is terrifying me. I feel like a complete monster and I don’t know what to do.

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?

I’m scared

Today I realized I’m actually really scared of becoming a bad person. I’ve been dealing with symptoms of OCD for a few years now, or maybe they were always there and i never knew what it was. I’m scared that i’ll eventually become a bad person. I’m scared I’ll hurt someone one day, even though i have no violent urges or tendencies. I’m scared i’ll be a pedophile even though i have no attraction to kids. I’m scared that i’ve done something really bad to someone and i don’t remember. I’m just scared and I wish I could tell people my thoughts but i know it’s hard to understand intrusive thoughts when you don’t have them.
