Remember you’re in control of your actions even if you can’t control your thought! I sometimes have thoughts like that too but just accept the emotion and remember you’re in control of the situation..
Thoughts are just thoughts and don’t define you and don’t control you . You have a moral compass to guide you . Try to pay more attention to that rather than random alarming thoughts that come and go. Also, just move on to something better or more functional than dwelling on this any longer . Think about or get busy with important functional things so this negative thought just goes away in its own. When you aren’t busy, negative thoughts sometimes become more prevelant.
I dealt with this too. i have had these thoughts too about my mom. For me honestly, I just said to my mind, “you’re trying to scare me with my fears. I’m not going to feed into it,” until it gradually died down. i prayed a lot too.
Today i confessed to my mom that I was getting these through these thoughts today. And she said she even goes through these thoughts at times, but now I don’t know what she thinks of me… I did set up an appointment with my doctor today to see what he can recommend me to as well.
My mom is the nicest person in the planet and I love her with all my heart. It even makes me cry because I want this to stop. I never had this issue until two days ago. The thought just popped into my head and it got stuck into my head ever since. What did you guys do to make this better? Did you guys need professional help?
Now it’s nothing but that.. it’s nothing but harming her and if I see a weapon I get scared. I freak out. And my anxiety and brain has been really fried.
I advise you to see mental health professionals , not a general practitioner. They don’t know much about this . Consider setting up an appointment with a NOCD therapist through the NOCD system. They accept most insurances and they are the best at treating OCD and related disorders. I can’t imagine telling my regular doctor that I had thoughts of killing my mom. He or she might make a bigger deal out of it than it should be . These are just thoughts and you should make them less important rather than more important
That’s true
They don’t accept medical
I’m wondering if I’m alone I have harm OCD I get intrusive thoughts of hurting my mom but when I tell her to hide the knife I get this urge to find a knife I hope I’m not the only one I’m getting very scared of OCD
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?
The other day I was with my mom and I had these intense urge to do this horrible thought, and a knife was in the table and I grabbed it but I grabbed it knowing that I know I was not capable of doing it and I put in the sink, I had to grab it in order for me to stop the “urge” that I was having. I love this women with all my life she’s been my inspiration to keep going forward, but ocd is telling me that I grabbed the knife because I actually wanted to do it. I don’t know if what I did was ok or not, or if I’m actually dangerous.
