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! 🫶

Harm ocd
Hey, I suffer from harm ocd and I feel as if it’s non stop everything I do everyday I believe I killed someone I believe it’s harm ocd and false memory but like today I went to the store and saw a older lady and my head thinks of images of me pushing them or killing then and right after that thought I feel as if I done it then the rest of the day I ruminate replaying everything. I know erp and I should just accept the thought and let it go but it’s not easy and I feel as if i really hurt or killed someone and I don’t want to go to jail for something I don’t want to do . Any tips would be appreciated I don’t know how to accept and move on when it feels so real that I did something!
