Yes...I can relate. Just got over a session and she said I have to stop fighting and replacing the thought bc it only makes it worse. Just say this is uncomfortable, but I can accept it and move on. Easier said than done. I know it's so scary, but don't let OCD win. Accept the thought and try to move on. I had to write a case today that was what if I snap what would happen. It was exhausting, but I have to keep reading it until my anxiety calms down. Thinking of you and remember you aren't alone we are all going thru some kind of hell with OCD.

Yes I can relate. It’s OCD and it would terrify me as well. Don’t best yourself up. God’s got you. Take deep breaths and relax when the thoughts pop up. I’ve had to accept it that it’s there and I know I wouldn’t hurt anyone. OCD doesn’t have the final say! Stay strong Carol!

Same here. I’ve tried to stay busy but as soon as I’m alone or not distracted it hits. I get it. Just try to breathe and remember these are only thoughts. I’m here to talk anytime! 🫶

So I have harm ocd for sure and I get triggered by some m1rder cases like for some reason my brain gets latched to them and the perpetrators my brain goes ‘what if they’d find you attractive’ ‘would you be one of their victims’ and it feels like they’re watching me, if that makes sense, like they’re watching me, is this a symptom of any type of OCD? Please no judgement I’m super scared and I hate that my brain does this

Im sorry I have to come on here and ask for advice once again, but as some people on here know I have been suffering with ocd since I was around the age of ten, which only got worse as my beautiful children came along. or nearly 60 years Ive had every type of ocd there is, they always come down to the same thing , not wanting to ever harm the people I love more than anything. I had got on top of this and was managing well, I know I would never harm anyone I love ever and would never ever want to, no more of the hypothetical scenarios for reassurance either , but its like every time I try to stop the mental compulsions intrusive thoughts come back after a few days, As I was in between going to sleep and was half awake the horrible words ' hope ***** dies I cannot even write the name down who it was about. I do not know where it came from but I am constantly getting upset about this as it was about someone I would give up my life for. I think you can probably guess what I mean without me having to say it. I do read a lot of posts and ocd podcasts and once read someones story wher they used to wish bad things and I have never been able to stop worrying in case something like that happened to me . Could this be what it was that has caused it ? I think Ive also still held onto something from when I was a child when I used to worry that thinking something too much could make it happen,, Please, please give me some addvice and thank you,,, sorry for the long post.

Hello everybody I just am looking for someone to talk to about my harm ocd / false memory/ sexual intrusiveness. Anyone who has healed or found ways to deal with the illness. Feels like I’m losing hope more and more everyday. I want to be okay but it’s hard living with uncertainty and unwanted urges of doing something terrible. Thanks god bless.
