Yes I have been suffering from these thoughts for months now, thankfully I’m going to be seeking professional help which is long due now, and have some relief knowing that if these thoughts brjng you discomfort it means you don’t want these thoughts and they don’t align with your values. Unfortunately we can’t rid ourselves from these thoughts but we can make them appear less often, and that is by simply sitting with the thought and treating it as all it is, which again is just a thought. Best of luck to you!

Sadly yes , and with horrible images to go with them. Harm ocd is very disturbing as you think of horrific images and thoughts that go against your personal beliefs or true feelings. It does get better if you treat your ocd. Stay strong

I'm trying, but what I lack is the control to not do compulsions. I have that very black and white thinking with these thoughts.

@Anonymous 1983 Do your best to not comply with your compulsion. Even if you only delay it at first and really feel the victory with every step when you can do that. Or try changing the compulsion in some way to make it under your control. The more you take control back the easier it will get.

@ivrec That is very ture the less compulsion you do, the less your ocd will bother you has make the ocd cycle weaker .

flare up please respond
Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

Does anyone ever mimic/imagine harm OCD thoughts?
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

Sharing intrusive thoughts/urges with partners
Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?
