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

frustrating
harm ocd is the bane of my existence. people always tell me that if you have anxiety over a thought, that’s ocd. and these intrusive thoughts cause me IMMENSE anxiety. i’m constantly looking for reasons why i’m not what these thoughts tell me i am. but WHY DOES IT FEEL SO REAL?? it’s like i can’t reassure myself that this isn’t me and i don’t want to do it, but i also look for reasons why it’s not me. my brain is constantly telling me “if you don’t act on this, you’ll never feel free”. WHAT EVEN IS THAT?? and why does it feel real?? anytime i think about getting therapy, i constantly think that it’s not going to help me positively but help me realize i am this person. i just wish someone with harm ocd could get into my brain, understand me, and tell me everything will be okay. i wish someone in recovery could tell me that they’ve been where i am, felt the same feelings, thought the same thoughts, and got through it when they thought they wouldn’t. i feel like i’m drowning in it. another thing is i think about how my mom knows a surface level understanding to this form of my ocd, but if she knew it all, i’m scared she’d never look at me the same. i’m scared she’d be scared of me and think i need psychiatric help. IM TERRIFIED.

Is this still ocd? Plz answer :(
Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry (i try to avoid even being angry if i can!) bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering? Did it just move? Why is it tingly? Why did it twitch?) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back? Is this an indication i was about to do something or will in the future? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't even know anymore bc of these twitches. Im so afraid! What I do know is I don't want to ever act out (idea is distressing not appealing) but it's so scary like why did i twitch or was i about to act out? Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent real urges or impulses and i also tend to ask ai or here if the anxiety gets so bad. Like how do I know of this is actually a serious concern and I should be very worried???

Can’t stop the what if thoughts
What if this and what if that. It’s all harm related and the urges feel so real I just can’t stand this anymore. Does anyone have any advice that has conquered OCD harm intrusive thoughts. I have them 24/7 and they are so scary.
