This is definitely normal. I’ve been facing this too lately. It’s so scary. I think you may be participating in some compulsions. This article helped me understand what some of my compulsions may be. https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd. With OCD, I’ve found completely ignoring the thought has helped. Literally no reaction at all. I haven’t done ERP, but I think that could be the idea with it. I’m so sorry, I know how awful this.

Yes I exactly relate to you, especially on the impulsive part, my thoughts feel like impulses sometimes, unfortunately I have been dealing with these thoughts for about 7 months now. I have unfortunately not sought out professional help, instead I also would post a lot online during the summer constantly seeking reassurance. But I do want to tell you that it is indeed ocd, you arguing with your thoughts is a “pure O” compulsion, meaning you have more mental compulsions and not really physical ones. I would suggest seeking out help from a professional because in my case I have unfortunately become very numb in terms of empathy and guilt and anxiety I hope one day those senses will come back. College, Gym, and work got me feeling better then I did during the summer as it keeps me occupied. Again this is just a case of OCD especially if you’re doubting wether you have it or not, Again I would recommend talking to a professional as they can get you your life back from OCD best of luck stranger!

Going through this exact same thing:( just know you’re not alone. I just got out of a BADDDD episode that felt like urges and I had to be calmed down by my mom and anxiety meds. I was feeling so much better yesterday, I thought I was genuinely better and then this happened :(

i can’t do this much longer
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…

Triggered from NOCD article
Guys for the past couple of hours ive been spiraling! I wad researching and came across this harm ocd article question that has been worrying me. The title was "im scared of hurting someone when I'm mad. Can i trust myself?" And I was thinking "hey that's what ive been worried about for the past several months!" I even AVOID being angry. Im scared of it bc I get a lot of thoughts and I'm hyperaware of my hands and feel them tingly! Last time i tensed so hard to stay still as possible bc I was so so nervous from my thoughts and my hand twitched which made me SPIRAL. I never want to cause harm! And i always start crying after an argument bc the thoughts are so so scary! Anyway I got afraid bc the article said "research has shown that people with ocd don't struggle with impulse control- so if you find yourself intensely worried you could do harm based on the intrusive thoughts or urges you have, it's likely something else is going on." THAT SENTENCE HAS LEFT ME WITH A TON OF ANXIETY! Its so bad, my appetite is gone! I'm scared does this mean I don't have ocd and should be seriously concerned?!
