Dude I so understand. I feel like I've gone through almost every type of ocd in one instance or another at least once and harm ocd has been one of them. It may put you're mind at ease that if you did do something like that the fact you're so upset by just thinking about doing it (and thier intrusive so it's not you're fault) that if you actually did you would care and you would feel bad. I hope you feel better <3 and remember that their just thoughts and they don't define who you are.

I hate it. I’m crying as I type this. Some days are better than others. We didn’t ask to have this… I want it gone. It sucks. Keep reaching out :) I have found comfort in this app and reading NOCD articles.

I am in the same boat as you with severe, severe harm ocd towards my beloved dog. I feel the feeling in my chest and the awareness of the thoughts constantly too. This is horrifying. I’m sending you hugs. I guess it’s normal somewhat?

I’ve had ocd for many years but in the last few months harm ocd has been a new theme - it’s horrific and yes I’ve had many similar thoughts to you.

As someone with harm OCD I used to be worried that I would never get out of it as well. OCD can feel very trapping, but you can recover from this type of OCD the best way to explain it is you have to treat the OCD highly recommend looking up how to do that ( ERP and not doing compulsions) but after treating your ocd you get to a point where you treat your intrusive thoughts just as intrusive thoughts, and nothing more kind of how I think people without OCD treat intrusive thoughts it’s hard but it’s very possible and you pretty much can go back to living a normal life which is wonderful so don’t give up stay strong and work on treating your OCD and you’ll get better.

Hiya!! Harm was and still is my main theme and I am currently experiencing a lapse. However I want to say I have gone 2 years without it impacting my life at all. I was at the point where I would lie with my boyfriend and be like what if he just dies and not ruminate about it it would just go. This is just now not forever, I know how hard this feels x
