Anyone with harmocd play violent video games?

Assassin's Creed and BG3. Yes it gets me sometimes but Ive learned to let the thoughts go, just like any other OCD thought ❤️

Yes, I am a big horror fan. I also read horror/mystery/thrillers. I play Sims and off sims all the time. Most players do though because it’s just a game. It’s self ERP in a nutshell. Love your life and don’t let OCD tell you what/what not to do.

I didn't have an issue with video games until my first bad episode. Playing RDR2 was really difficult at times, but I've been practicing to sit with it when triggered. I know that it won't bother me forever, even if it's scary in the moment.

my favorite video game is the last of us. usually i know when i need to stop because i can feel the anxiety creeping in, but last summer it did trigger me for a good week. lately, however, i’ve been good at managing my harm thoughts. if you’re scared, try playing for a short amount of time and see where your headspace is. ease yourself into it. you can always turn it off if you feel an episode starting 🫶🏻

Nah men too sensitive for that got family don't watch it nothing like that. Used to watch the haunting of discovery channel with this OCD it's like too sensitive got other stuff going on also

Personally video games never made me had issues but I think media affects everyone differently. I’m a huge fan of attack on titan and I’ve watched it so many times but it’s to the point that I would have recurring dreams; or better to put it nightmares about it. You can look up the plot but long story short some of the characters infiltrate the walls and are titans who are murderers. A lot of the titans are very gory and the show overall as the titans eat people. In the last season, it’s world war setting and titans trample almost everyone on earth. I’ve had these nightmares for a while but one particular one, I was with those murderers in my house and it didn’t make much sense because it was a jumbled up dream, but a merge of reality and that show. My cousins were in my home and particularly a younger cousin about 5 years old popped up from behind the couch and because of the way she did it, it resembled the first titan appearing over the walls in the show. Out of fear, or maybe because I was in perspective of one of the murderers i immediately killed her in this dream and violently stabbed her. I then stuffed her into a random cardboard box with no remorse at all but only worry of being caught and I hid the weapon. And while her family found her I was silent and acted as if I knew nothing. I believe in the dream I was playing the role of a character in the show that has to kill someone and keep it secret but when I woke up I genuinely felt like I was a sick person who became a murder. After waking up I kept getting intrusive thoughts about how I could have killed her more efficiently or discreetly and I felt insane. I couldn’t get it out of my head even though I knew it was about a dream I had of a show I watched. I’ve had disturbing dreams about this show before but not to that extent. I even went to the spots in my house where I “hid the knife” and “hid the box with the body” to see if I actually did it, although I knew I didn’t. The nightmare was so vivid and I could remember everything to the tee. I felt like a physcopath killer, safe to say I didn’t watch it again for a while.
