From my understanding it’s because of the adrenaline rush that our bodies produce when we get that anxious. Which is why it feels so real. 🫶🏻❤️ you are not your thoughts

This is very common dear, and please know you’re not alone and these thoughts don’t define you. As someone else already said these are biological reactions in the form of a the amygdala firing off a danger signal due to perceived danger. It does that when under stress even when there is no actual danger. This is extremely common and very typical. I’ve been through exactly what you’re talking about and so has every other ocd sufferer who had this harm ocd… it’s all part of the trick ocd plays. My suggestion coming from a place of love and respect: please relax. Getting all worked up is the natural response but it further aggravates the amygdala, causing it to perpetuate its danger signals. Instead if you practice some healthy diversion and relaxation, and wait for the anxiety to ride out, it will have no choice but to go away or at least calm down. One other thing, notice how I never addressed your thought because that’s not the issue… the issue is the obsessive nature behind it. Everyone has these thoughts… the difference is that in ocd we overvalue them and get fixated on them. Stand strong against ocd and declare your truth, you’re stronger than you think and a force for good. Also, please make sure you discuss this with your therapist! Take care! ❤️

I felt this way when my insomnia was at its worst and I could not think straight. I didn’t act on my intrusive thoughts but I felt like it was entirely possible and like I was only seconds away from doing it. It was terrifying and I’m sorry you’re experiencing that. That was four years ago and I’ve had more good days than bad since then where I haven’t been fearful of acting on my intrusive thoughts. Talking to specialists about my thoughts helped me and so did journaling to get my thoughts out of my head. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

I'm like this too, yesterday I thought that I had become a bad person and what was even stranger was that this felt real, and what's more scary was that I felt that when I smiled at that time, its feel this was the smile of a bad person but I kept denying it, it felt terrible😣
