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 :(

Hey guys. I feel like no one will even reply to my post. I feel anxious af. I could barley eat a plate of soup. I feel so drained and fatigued and feel the anxiety in my stomach. I'm just so worried I don't even have harm ocd anymore. Its just... I grew up in a household where swatting people was normalized like if you did something really naughty. I never really questioned it and I grew up thinking it was an okay thing and would sometimes swat someone when they are being naughty growing up and even recently. I would never swat someone at full force or enough to make someone cry just more like a hard tap to get their attention but it feels automatic? And even then it's really really rare for me to do, i much rather talk sternly or tell someone. When i do swat its bc like if someone scared me I guess I hit their hand and say "THAT SCARED ME" and we both start laughing or if my older niece was roughhousing with her younger sister and the younger one gets hurt and the older one laughs, I swat the older one once or twice on her arm as a discipline and say "what is wrong with you??? Why are you laughing? You are much older than her! You could've seriously hurt her." And idk how but i never thought like how wrong this is?!... and I feel like sh/t like ocd keeps saying "well you have swatting impulses when someone is misbehaving or if someone scares or hits you, meaning if you get an impulse to do something really evil instead, you wouldnt be able to control yourself huh?" And I started to get so anxious and scared. Ive NEVER acted out on the harm ocd thoughts (nor do i even want to) ive been getting daily for 4 years even when they are misbehaving. But i get so scared like WHAT IF I get an impulse to do the evil thoughts? What if I lose control?! Is this a history of violence/ low impulse?! Does this mean i would act out on my fears?! I've never wanted to do these thoughts before but i get scared like what if I do one day? This whole day ive been ruminating and asking ai for reassurance. I feel terrible. I feel like a horrible person. I started to cry. I just cant anymore. I feel this weight on my chest. I feel so evil so irredeemable. I f/cking suck. I hate myself so much right now. I feel so much guilt and shame. Why am I still here anymore? Maybe i dont even have ocd and maybe i never did. This is just breaking my heart. I want to change and unlearn this swatting behavior as well for sure. :(

i haven’t been diagnosed with ocd but I have anxiety about harming other people/family members and it’s like urges and im scared I actually want to do it? I don’t think I’ve ever been violent as a kid (im 21 now) and the intrusive thoughts don’t go away so im just stuck all day everyday for the past few weeks just thinking and being scared about it and im having all these weird emotions like being irritated and angry I don’t want to hurt people I don’t think idk why my mind is making me think I do I’ve had intrusive thoughts before that I could brush away sure it took like a day or two but this one is different it doesn’t go away and leaves me with the worst fear imaginable and nothing I look up that should be giving me relief is giving me relief + I feel like im not in control of my body and that im just gonna lose it and act on these thoughts it’s just all on a loop and im not sure how im supposed to live the rest of my life when im in constant fear of my self

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.
