There is a great book that you should read. It’s called the Imp of the mind by Dr. Lee Baer. He talks about all kinds of intrusive thoughts but there is one of his patients that had the exact same experience as you. It may help to read how they treated her and how she got past it. Good luck and just know that if you enjoyed these thoughts they wouldn’t bother you. Stay strong mama

I have this. With my children. it got so bad that I wouldn't let them in the kitchen when I was cooking or doing dishes because I was worried I would stab them. I also would do things so I wasn't alone with them like pay my niece to babysit even though I was home because I felt like I couldn't trust myself. it drives me crazy I pray alot to counteract the thoughts I'm having but most days unfortunately I feel like some sort of monster because I have no one to talk to and I'm worried if I tell someone in my family they will take my children instead of understand that it's my thoughts not my actions.

I once had a similar thought with my family. I was in fear of harming them but my therapist told me it’s the opposite of what I want/feel. That I love my family so much that I’m afraid of anything happening to them and that your brain twists your anxiety and fears into the worst thought imaginable. Try and talk to someone about it because it helps to let it out and not keep it hidden. Maybe if you aren’t comfortable talking to family or friends about it yet try a therapist, a hotline, or even some reading. Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts by Christine Purdon is a very helpful book. You can get through this and know a thought is just a thought not an action!

I know we’re not meant to ask for reassurance but I’m currently not in therapy and I need help, it feels scarily real and I feel like I’m not anxious or worried over the thoughts. I had stabbing thoughts about someone I care about and I started deliberately imagining them to test myself to see if I hate it or not but instead it felt like I knew how it feels to stab someone and like the feeling of doing that physical action and I swear it is the worst thing I have ever experienced as well I had moments where it felt like It was about to happen or I keep getting this really sick ‘happy’ feeling that I want to do that and I don’t know what that is but it feels incredibly real almost like I was getting a happy feeling or wanted to do that thing and jsut wasn’t giving into it and now I’m thinking I’m actually evil and it feels like I get a pleasurable feeling over the thought of doing that and would want to do it?? Because I ‘like’ the feeling of doing it or it would ‘feel’ good I swear I really don’t know what to do it feels incredibly real I feel like I can’t even say that I’m worried or scared because I feel like I’m lying and actually want it and have evil desires I’m really concerned, I have never done anything bad in my life, I feel like what if through experimenting and imagining the thoughts to test myself I have suddenly discovered I like it because it feels extremely real that I would ‘enjoy’ or like Doing that evil thing and it’s really concerning, i don’t understand I was fine a few days ago and suddenly I’m experiencing this? Is it possible to suddenly become evil i don’t want to be evil, but what if i like it and my desire to not be evil isn’t as strong as this ‘happy feeling’ i wish I can be normal I don’t want any of this please but I swear I feel like there is something wrong with me, I think this is the worst I’ve ever felt, like it feels like I want it and would enjoy it and it’s making me feel really worried but at the same time I don’t even know if I’m worried please help I need advice
