Hi! I know this is an awful thought to have and really worrisome! ERP would tell us to say it’s possible but not likely or maybe maybe not but I know for something like this that seems impossible. The thing that I would think is a serial killer wouldn’t be scared of being a serial killer. Since maybe maybe not may be too difficult for something like this try reminding yourself this just your OCD talking. And maybe stop watching the documentary for now to give yourself a break. BUT I do think watching it would be good for exposure!

OCD latches onto fears that go completely against your values; that’s why this feels so terrifying. The fact that this thought scares you so much shows it’s ego-dystonic, meaning it’s the opposite of who you are and what you want. OCD creates doubt and urges you to seek certainty, but that only feeds the cycle. Are you working with an ERP therapist?

@AnonymityK I have a counselor, but she’s not exactly an OCD specialist by any means.

@AnonymityK I think just a certified counselor. But no exposures, she got me through sui*** OCD though. So I’m not completely sure.

The thing is you will never have 100% certainty, ocd will all ways doubt it and say but what if ,you and to accept uncertainty and learn how to be okay if your fear happens its hard and scary but the only way to loosen ocd grip over you

Criminal shows/Horror movies
does anyone else get really triggered when watching stuff to do with serial killers, p3dos, r@pists etc. I literally start to compare myself and check to see if i share any qualities with them. Ita really scary cause i really like this show Criminal minds, and i absolutely adore the characters, but its hard watching something i like cause of all the g0re and stuff. Not to mention all the thoughts that are convincing me i like the horrible stuff. Someone tell me if tou relate..

Help! URGENT!!
I’ve always struggled with maladaptive daydreaming I’ve stopped but I have harm ocd and my brain would hook onto a true crime story and I’d pretend to be a family member/loved one/victim of a k*ller and would make up elaborate stories abt it. That feels so disgusting I’m so scared this shows in a horrible person doesn’t it? And now my brain is telling me I have found k*llers attractive in the past I don’t think I ever did but what if I did I’m scared
