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.

Am I normal? I have thoughts about killing my friends, family, and strangers recently very often in a variety of ways and these intrusive thoughts are draining happiness from me.. I don't know this type of OCD but I'm certain it's a subset of OCD. I don't know what's happening to me. Someone please reach out to me. Its draining happiness from me every day. When I'm having a fun time with family one intrusive thought enters my mind out of the blue. It gets so bad and so violent that it physically made me sick. I'm not even kidding.

Does Harm OCD warp everything?
Does anyone here have harm OCD that tries to attack every single action and thought they do during the day? Mine is about killing my spouse. Now every time I hear something that entails the future or “doing what I gotta do” I am afraid if the thoughts showing up. And as I try to think “do therapy”, “find hobbies”, “get into yoga” the intrusive though appears and it’s “kill your wife” or “kill your wife and yourself afterwards”. It could attack a happy event to. Like you finally get that reimbursement you were waiting for on an online shopping return. And now you get it and you’re like : “Nice, thats done” and the the intrusive thought comes “cool, now you can kill your wife”. I’m under the impression I am becoming schizophrenic. I don’t hear a voice or see things though, and some days there are less occurrences than other days. It’s days where I don’t work and have a day out with the wife doing fun activities that the occurrences are less. But if I sit alone working in my office all they they appear all the time. This is very distressing and causes severe anxiety. Loosing appetite, head aches, becoming extremely irritable. This is the hardest thing I have ever go through.

Does anyone else’s intrusive thoughts just repeat over and over and over again? I have harm ocd and sometimes the thoughts will just be like “K!ll him” over and over and over again. It freaks me out so bad. 😭 maybe I’m just actually horrible and this isn’t ocd. This makes me feel like it’s probably not ocd because this probably doesn’t happen to anybody else.
