Harm ocd

Hi i have harm ocd and i am scared I’m going to hurt my cats but i wanted to know if this is a compulsion i get intrusive thoughts telling me to do something bad to the cat so like for example like kick the cat which i would not do but after i get the thought i kick him in a soft playful manner i think i do it to make sure i wouldn’t actually go full force and sometimes it’s worse than just kicking but if it’s really bad i won’t do it but is this a compulsion please someone tell me

I’ve had this before with a pet! I know full well I would and could never ever do it, I feel because you adore this cat so much you’re scared of harming them but you knowing that you would never do it just shows that it’s ocd and not you as a person I feel that it maybe a type of compulsion because it makes you feel better knowing you won’t do it, and make the obsession go away If that makes sense? I got rid of mine by telling myself and learning that it’s just a thought and I would never do that

Your thought of harming the cat via kicking is an intrusive thought. Kicking the cat in a soft playful way isn't bad, but when you avoid playfully kicking the cat, it seems like a compulsion because you're trying to decrease your anxiety. However, you are counter intuitively increasing your anxiety because you're making kicking the cat in a harmful way important. Does that make sense?

I have thoughts about hurting people, dogs, cats, children, and myself a lot. I can’t play with my butterfly knives without getting a really bad urge to just stab myself. I can’t think of dogs without wanting to smash their skull in. It just gets tempting and it’s honestly satisfying to think about to me, but other times I hate myself for it. I don’t know if I should like gore and harm and other things as much as I do. I feel like I need serious help because I feel like I’m going to kill someone eventually and it’s terrified me in the past.

I actually did something bad.

TW ZO0PHILIA OCD i think i actually did something so terrible. so bad. i don’t think i can live with myself. whenever i am half asleep my ocd is so much worse but im scared this means im actually a sick person. im crying so bad. i was half asleep and i brought my cat to lay down with me. everytime my cats lick themselves or me i get a groinal response very badly. i whenever my cat licked my hand i got a groinal response and felt the urge to m-. i ended up doing it and my cat ended up leaving in the middle of it and i continued. i had such disgusting thoughts it’s like it was automatic. i feel so sick because kept having/letting my cat lick my hand and it triggered this feeling even more. i am sick. i am gonna throw up. i cant sleep. i just wrote how i hate myself because i think im a bad person and then this happens. I dont think i can tell anyone this, not even my therapist. why did this happen. i am not attracted to my pets. i cannot live like this. i don’t think i can continue

harm ocd please respond its typed properly - sorry

I am really struggling. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head, causing a horrible intrusive feeling in my head. Even if I’m just simply scrolling and see someone sometimes this feeling of an intrusive thought becomes present, leading it to become horrid intrusive thoughts and feelings. I would never want to hurt anyone. Let alone do it and I’m struggling so much. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head and feeling. Which is reinforced when I look at people. It goes when im distracted and then i remember the horrid feeling. I feel like bursting into tears, ive had enough. Can anyone relate? I feel like a constant intrusive thought and feeling IN my head im so sad :( I feel horrid. Scared ill go crazy.
