Struggling with harm OCD and feeling numb; anyone else experience this?

Good afternoon HARM ocd beating me up fr

Does anyone else suffer with harm ocd the way I do, sometimes I feel like I don’t even have ocd and like these are my actual thoughts when I started ocd I would feel so bad for thinking what I was thinking and I would cry everyday but now I just feel numb and like I don’t feel nothing I can’t even cry I’m also on antidepressants so idk if that’s affecting it but it’s like the only thing holding me back from doing my actions is like thinking I could go to jail or ruin my life or regret it later in life & it’s like I tell my self or my mind that whatever it is and it like gets mad that like I can’t do it and it makes me feel worst because it makes me feel like I actually wanna do that and ugh it’s like a constant battle everyday because it like gets mad for not being able to do that because I obviously know it’s something bad and will ruin my life.

literally so relatable. i’m constantly questioning it and wondering if it’s not ocd it’s just me and i’m just screwed up. but try to remember it is ocd. it’s sneaky and manipulative and always will make you question everything even if you have evidence that something is or isn’t it’ll make you second guess yourself. you got this!!♥️

i go through this exact thing word for word. I feel you on the feeling like the only thing keeping you back from actually doing something bad is jail, ruining ur life, regret, etc. It’s like a battle with my brain everyday and i also understand the feeling numb. i use to have a lot of anxiety with these thoughts and groinal responses but now i don’t even feel anything. just shame mostly and worry. we will get through this i wish u love and peace and healing🩷

@yaya_zz i go through that but with my pocd. i think after crying so much and worrying so much u do become “used” to these things but the worry is still there obviously because u don’t want to do whatever ocd is telling u

@co140 I was struggling with pocd like a week ago I could assure you it’s the worst but my ocd hook it back up to harm ocd and thinking of killing people and liking it or sometimes I even struggle with like my mind telling me I actually wanna go to jail and it’s like I don’t even know what to believe anymore it’s such a discomfort and the worst is that I have no reaction because I’ve completely become numb to it. 😪

As someone that’s had Pure ocd since high school, I can tell you that that’s completely normal for them to feel real .some days They really still feel really to me , but they’re not. They are fear ,thats is how all OCD works. Actually, it’s a fear response to something you’re afraid of .but why it is easier said than done you’ll feel a lot better when you go ahead and do things that you’re afraid to do because you think you’re gonna hurt someone when you’re not. For a long time I was afraid to be around my little sister because I was afraid of her and then I decided one day that I want to be with her even though I was having these terrific Fears I would hurt her and I cannot tell you enough how much better I felt after I hung out with any way. I love her and I’m glad that I was able to overcome my fear and be with her.

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

Hello everyone my journey with harm ocd has been so distressing and can’t even describe how lost and lonely I feel. I also had a moment yesterday where I had another moment of harm ocd and my thoughts were saying “yes just do it”. Brought me to tears. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

Vent about HARM ocd pls reply. 👍🏻

Hello, I think it’s fairly obvious at the moment I am struggling with terrible harm related intrusive thoughts / harm ocd. I feel so distressed and anxious about these horrendous thoughts its to the point I’m crying out of panic or avoiding anything that may cause harm, but the thing is i have this horrible like “intrusive feeling” throughout my body that feels really strong despite my distress to the thoughts I just have this feeling of what if i snap throughout my body. I also feel whats severely effecting me is that if i did it like “What if I actually did it” “No but what if i did” “Anyone is capable of it” and then the feeling gets worse and stronger and it makes me even more anxious. I know it is Harm OCD but i feel so distressed so anxious even to the point im waking up in the middle of the night with horrid thoughts that distress me and i find it hard to sleep due to the feeling / thoughts. If anyone can relate to this I really hope you can reply, offering advice or sharing your experience because the worst part of Ocd is feeling abnormal and alone and this is what I am feeling and its hurting me so badly. I feel low , exhausted. 💕
