Terrified by harm OCD thoughts; seeking reassurance and support.

Please reply Im terrified need you guys.

HARM OCD VENT. I feel Terrified. I am so scared that I am going to act on a terrible harm ocd intrusive thought on someone else. The idea, the sensations the urges terrify me because it feels so scarily real. I feel like im a horrible person - a danger and i’m so guilty for having intrusive thoughts. I hate knives, I avoid looking at them in real life, in the kitchen as i’m so terrified that i will do sone thing terrible. I get excited when my boyfriend cones round as i always think he knows about my thoughts so at least he would restrain me if i were to do anything bad. I just feel so scared so guilty. I have this horrible sensation of urge running through my body- currently im on the verge of tears- i feel lost. My ocd has even latched onto pumpkin carving - scared i will do something bad. Now my OCD is just being like “ maybe your avoiding is all fake and your trying to cover your a bad person” “ what if u actually want to “. “ I want to “ “ You arnt actually trying to hard from harmful objects “ its TERRIFYING. please may someone reply - I’m terrified right now its like an intrusive FEELING is in my body. Sorry guys. I NEED reassurance at this point, I don’t know what to do.

i want you to know that this is your ocd making you feel like this, none of these things define who you are and these aren’t your thoughts :( i’m so sorry you are going through this love and please please don’t let this thought ever get to you if you are feeling anxiety and distress right now what i do to help me when i’m dealing with these thoughts is to eat sour sweets if you have any or anything sour because it’s known to lower stress levels and anxiety levels and focus on the sour taste instead , you aren’t horrible person , ocd is a bully and will make you lie to yourself

I understand. Sometimes when I look at things I can imagine me grabbing it but I always remind myself what is reality. One thing you can to calm you is name five things you see, four things you hear, and three you can touch or smell (learned this from a therapist). It will ground you. I assure that this just your ocd and not your true wants or desires. If you really wanted to do harm then you would not have distress over it. I hope you feel better soon.

I relate to you so much as a person in my 20's. I promise you, you aren't bad and you want the opposite and you want to feel normal I know. How hard it is mentally and physically at times. But getting cold air can ground you if it every gets overwhelming. Do you have a therapist or a psychiatrist or a group of family to help

I completely relate to this. Im currently experiencing thoughts of harming someone I love. It is absolutely the scariest thing, and isnt my morals or who I am as a person. I wish I didnt have these thoughts. Im a good person.

Vent about HARM ocd pls reply. 👍🏻

Hello, I think it’s fairly obvious at the moment I am struggling with terrible harm related intrusive thoughts / harm ocd. I feel so distressed and anxious about these horrendous thoughts its to the point I’m crying out of panic or avoiding anything that may cause harm, but the thing is i have this horrible like “intrusive feeling” throughout my body that feels really strong despite my distress to the thoughts I just have this feeling of what if i snap throughout my body. I also feel whats severely effecting me is that if i did it like “What if I actually did it” “No but what if i did” “Anyone is capable of it” and then the feeling gets worse and stronger and it makes me even more anxious. I know it is Harm OCD but i feel so distressed so anxious even to the point im waking up in the middle of the night with horrid thoughts that distress me and i find it hard to sleep due to the feeling / thoughts. If anyone can relate to this I really hope you can reply, offering advice or sharing your experience because the worst part of Ocd is feeling abnormal and alone and this is what I am feeling and its hurting me so badly. I feel low , exhausted. 💕

harm ocd please respond its typed properly - sorry

I am really struggling. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head, causing a horrible intrusive feeling in my head. Even if I’m just simply scrolling and see someone sometimes this feeling of an intrusive thought becomes present, leading it to become horrid intrusive thoughts and feelings. I would never want to hurt anyone. Let alone do it and I’m struggling so much. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head and feeling. Which is reinforced when I look at people. It goes when im distracted and then i remember the horrid feeling. I feel like bursting into tears, ive had enough. Can anyone relate? I feel like a constant intrusive thought and feeling IN my head im so sad :( I feel horrid. Scared ill go crazy.
