I constantly think that if I do something wrong or choose the wrong thing that someone I love will be in a horrible accident or die. The wrong fork, the wrong sock. It makes me so angry.
I understand your anger. My OCD felt paralyzing for so long. Feeling hyper responsible for others is also very draining and tough to work on. Do you practice self care to help when things are hard?
That is so scary and frustrating. OCD is a straight up bully sometimes. and it's a liar!

Your anger is understandable as these thoughts can trigger emotions from fear to rage. If you are practicing ERP to manage these thoughts, have patience with the process. I saw that response post offered an article on magical thinking. What were your thoughts on this? Please reach out to us anytime .... treatmyocd.com if you are not already connected to treatment.
Hey so lately I've been thinking along the line of the theme of ocd of 'what if I was to shout something inappropriate out" only this is what if I was to text someone something inappropriate please help me somebody it's causing me to panic.
Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. Rn I was not even super annoyed at my neice but I felt a twinge of annoyance since she went up to my face and was yelling at me while I was resting on the bed and I got this image of doing something bad to her and I felt my hand twitch very little. I got nervous and felt relieved when her dad told her to stop screaming for no reason. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering???) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back??? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't know bc what do these twitches mean?, I do know I don't want to ever act out but it's so scary. Recently whenever I feel angry once the argument is over I cry really bad after I'm alone and I pray so i never want or act out. And when the annoyance passes I also feel so guilty and want to stay away. Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent urges or impulses and i also tend to ask chatgpt or here if the anxiety gets so bad š
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted and cause stress which mine do but also when Iām mad I get this rage feeling and say I wanna stab someone like that feels like a. Want not intrusive why am I saying ā I wanna ā :(
