Thoughts happen for no reason. People without OCD have thoughts like these too. It's distressing because of the weight and energy you're giving it. You have a thought to x, y, z, think to yourself "that's weird" and carry on with your life. The moment you try to understand *why* you would think something like that or what does it say about you, etc, etc, OCD is in control. The best way you can take YOUR power back is to, when OCD says, "hey you probably want to [fill in the blank]" "maybe." Stop giving OCD's voice the authority as someone trusted when really it's an annoying, childish bully who's job is to put you down. Stop trying to solve it.

it’s okay friend. this is just your OCD. while it is scary, just slowly and gradually let the thoughts/feelings go away. remember, OCD goes against your moral values! you know deep down you would never want to hurt anyone. your thoughts are not YOU!!

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I had a very similar flare up happen last week. Just know you aren't alone and these thoughts are not you. Try doing some relaxing/cozy activities to help ease your mind or use this app to calm down your mind a bit. I really hope things start getting better. 💕💕

Hi lovely! I feel you SO much I’m going through the exact same thing. You honestly just described the past week for me. I tell myself I’d hurt myself before ANYONE else but how true is that? Am I lying to myself? I’m also getting bad urges so I’ve been avoiding the kitchen and the whole downstairs. My thoughts are all towards others, like yours. I also have feelings like I want to do it and it’s makes me believe I want to. Please please know you’re not alone, I’m going through the exact same thing and I’ve had visions of me getting taken away forever and I’ve bawled so hard that I’ve just wanted this episode to be over. I’m not sure if this will make you feel any better but hopefully it’ll make you feel slightly less alone<3 We’ll be okay🫂🫂

@carol.xxx Mine are also targeted towards my family members, especially my mum who I’ve had a rocky relationship with. My thoughts were okay but just flared up as I walked into the kitchen thinking about the knives and imagining me doing it. You’re definitely not alone xx

@carol.xxx I also had a bath a couple days ago and as I got out the amount of intrusive thoughts that came to my head was insane. Just please stay calm, focus on how warm the water is against you and focus on washing your hair and the how beautiful your shampoo smells. Try and focus on the little things although it might not help just try to stay calm, okay? x Put on a tv show while you’re in the bath to have some noise! If you haven’t I’d recommend watching a show called smallville! It’s really good, if you’re into superman that is! Or put on a show you love, comedy of course x

@carol.xxx Yes all the time, I wish I could go back to worrying about boys and what to wear tomorrow it sucks, it really does. I wish I was able to go out and hangout without worrying about what if I hurt someone and that my friends are friends with someone who hurts people. So yeah it’s quite depressing😭x
