This disorder makes you mentally tough as nails and makes you live in the present moment. So that's the positive.

Oh yeah i have that biggg time. Thoughts of hurting ppl and hurting myself. I think my only advice is it does get better with time as you habituate to your thoughts and i recommend going towards your thoughts and not run from them. The brain thinks about stuff "you dont want to think about" if that makes any sense.

Yeah I've had these intense thoughts for awhile, being stress doesnt help. But it's nice to know I'm not the only one that gets these these thoughts, thank you.

I just started experiencing this a bit ago, it feels like months honestly, but in reality it's only been about a week. I have no intention or desire to hurt anyone but at the same time sometimes I just get dark thoughts of "i could". Its been crippling me ever since its started and it's so out of left field for me. I struggled with depression long before but now i dont really feel much exempt empty and fear of my thoughts.

The website intrusive thoughts is quite helpful, I'm sorry you're struggling it's so scary and isolating. Just know there are lots of us who understand

I do! It's awful but you can get better. Have you seen a CBT/ERP specialist? :)

No I'm lost in how to find one. I seen a therapist 2 months ago a couple times, but I just feel like I'm doing all the talking, so I kinda stop going.

@kramer Have you rung any OCD helplines? On OCD support websites it lists the sort of questions you should ask a potential therapist to see if they are able to help you with your OCD. It might also give a list of websites that have therapists. You can get better I promise, things will improve :)

I'm so glad that you said this man. I get them of my family that I live with. I love them all but I cant even bring myself to stay in the same room as them without the thoughts getting triggered and getting really bad anxiety and I feel like people can tell that I'm ALWAYS in an uncomfortable state which makes me even more anxious... I hate OCD
