Harm OCD, Living Hell

Anyone with Harm OCD ever have to be a caregiver for the person you have the urges and obsessions about? I'm not going to survive this.

I’m so sorry. This is very difficult, and I sympathise. But you ARE able to survive this. These obsessions reflect your fears, not your desires.

Yes! My sons and it is like hell on earth. Exactly what the others said, it attacks who/what you care for most and your biggest fears. There were months I felt I couldn’t survive either but then you get breaks of being yourself again where you can regain strength and train yourself to see the thoughts for just being thoughts. I’ve had days where I thought I was 100% going to act on the thoughts and days where the thoughts sounded absolutely ridiculous. You’re going to be okay

OCD harm tw

Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you

Having a hard time

I have to be alone with my children tomorrow and I'm scared. Harm OCD has me panicking and ruminating. I don't want to hurt my babies they mean everything to me. I keep fighting for them, I got a better job for them and I want to create a better life for them. I'm so afraid that I might hurt them so I need to be away from them but I also don't want to be away from them. The thoughts and images are so much. I'd rather die before I hurt them. Accepting the uncertainty of possibly hurting them is not something I can accept or live with. And it doesn't help having existential ocd because that says none of it matters anyway. I just want to be the old me, I hate this disorder I hate this disease I hate me for having these thoughts. I'm sorry for ranting. I just need to get it out. I hate this worry disorder!
