My folks did that to me 40 years ago and it cost me alot. I didn’t get diagnosed until last year. Not knowing why I felt the way I did destroyed my self esteem and left me feeling rudderless throughout a big chunk of my life. I lied to myself and became an imposter, forcing myself to be someone I am not. Since my diagnosis, I see my life through a different lense. I would encourage you to try and convince them to at least find out. You definitely need help if you are thinking of harming anyone. Believe that things can get better because they can.

The thoughts ‘are’ normal - but the torment from them is not. Your parents should allow you to seek help if you need it. Read IMP Of The Mind, if nothing else. It explains the difference between how the thoughts are processed by those with and without OCD.

I’m so sorry! OCD is a difficult disease to understand if you don’t have it. It is CRUCIAL to find someone who takes your OCD seriously and has the training to help you. I think the hardest part of OCD for me so far has been realizing that no matter how many people love me and try their best to help me, when I face my OCD, I (like everyone else) am alone in my own head, and no one can help me but myself. I can seek as much help as I want, but in the end, I am the only one who has to face my own OCD. It’s an awful thing to realize. Just know that there are people (like me) who are sending you good vibes as you face your own personal demon. Good luck. You are stronger than you know. Find someone who can help guide you as you start this ridiculously difficult journey.

i can’t do this much longer
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…

I told my mom about my ocd
She laughed and said that everyone has these thoughts "i didn't tell her about the REALLY fucked up thoughts i experience cuz i was kinda scared" and then she said it's the demon just say ur prayers and they'll go away Even though i kept on trying and trying to convince her that they're clearly not normal but she kept on refusing and it kinda sounded like she didn't want to admit and believe that her daughter has a mental illness which sucks

i’m so anxious right now.
i had thoughts of “planning” to harm my boyfriend. we have a trip coming up and my intrusive thoughts were telling me “nobody will know if you harm him all the way over there”, then my mind started rambling on like “everyone will know-“ and so on and so forth, it actually made me feel like i was contemplating on doing something and now it feels like im turning evil ): has anyone had thoughts like this?
