When you are fighting your OCD or try to in this case get it,  that will just make the OCD continuing to stay . you kinda of have to learn to sit with the OCD and let it be there. I highly recommend looking up the term ocd response and exposure and what compulsions are and how not to do them. OCD is treatable, but it’s hard and it takes a lot of work to do so. I can feel you why you want to ride it and get rid of it I have harm OCD so I see graphic images of hurting people that are important to me or even killing them. It’s quite disturbing and I really hate them but I’ve learned not to react to them even though it’s really hard and they don’t cause me great distress anymore, but it took me a long time to get that point.  I wish I would’ve looked up more about OCD when I was younger so I could have got properly more results faster when I was younger.

I've never been worried about acting out my thoughts, I just feel terrible and extremely guilty for having such repugnant thoughts. My thoughts realistically cant happen, but everything I dont want to think about seems to pop into my mind. I feel as if I need to be forgiven to move forward. Im a loving dad and husband with 2 amazing children and all I want is to be happy again. Some days I know that I am not my thoughts and other days I can barely function because of them. Im what I would consider very educated when it comes to OCD treatment, but I still cant seem to get on top of it.

Intrusive thoughts Help.
I’m having a very bad evening with my intrusive thoughts. I was doing really good dealing with them but tonight one hit me hard. I’ve been having a lot of different intrusive thoughts but I’ll have one occasionally about hurting my mom or my dog who I love and they’re the only family I have in my life. They’re my world. I was helping my mom put away the dishes and I had the big kitchen knife in my hand and my intrusive thought was you could stab your mom. And then my brain said I had a twitch in my hand and that meant I wanted to do it. Let me just say that I wouldn’t hurt a fly. I actually caught a fly in a glass and put it outside instead of killing it this evening before this intrusive thought happened. I’m such a gentle and compassionate and caring person and these thoughts instantly cause me to have a panic attack. And I have no one to talk to them about. I know they’re hard for my mom to hear and I don’t want to be any more of a burden than I already am. I do desperately want to tell her and have her reassure me that I’m not crazy or a psycho. Then my thoughts wander to if your hand did flinch could you be a psychopath. Is hurting someone in you. I know it’s not but I feel like my mind is out to get me and hurt me. I’m working so hard and I thought I was doing so good but I need to know why I have these thoughts. They’re not ok. I need someone to help me make sense of why. I know we aren’t supposed to ruminate but I shouldn’t have thoughts like this about people I love and care about the most in the world.
