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 always have to google intrustive thoughts to calm me down, becuase it always says how normal these thoughts are.

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

Harm ocd
I am so scared that my *undiagnosed* OCD is going to make me harm someone close to me in my family. I’m afraid of knives, I’m afraid of things that COULD be a weapon like pens, forks or anything like that. My sister is my BFF and my thoughts have latched onto her. I’m so afraid!! I don’t know how to make them stop. How do I stop and will it eventually subside? How do I work on compulsions? I’m on Zoloft 50mg as well for 3.5 weeks and a lot of my other worries have subsided except this one. I feel like a crazy person :( Also does this sound like OCD?

Am I the only one! I’m panicking
I went out with my partner today to spend the day together and try and do some ERP. the whole time I linked my arm and had my phone in my other hand. I would purposely move out the way for children or notify her so she could see I didn’t do anything. Please tell me I’m not the only one with this type of harm OCD. I’m really panicking and it’s making me feel sick. I had that feeling where my stomach drops and I’m scared of my thoughts

Harm ocd
Hey, I suffer from harm ocd and I feel as if it’s non stop everything I do everyday I believe I killed someone I believe it’s harm ocd and false memory but like today I went to the store and saw a older lady and my head thinks of images of me pushing them or killing then and right after that thought I feel as if I done it then the rest of the day I ruminate replaying everything. I know erp and I should just accept the thought and let it go but it’s not easy and I feel as if i really hurt or killed someone and I don’t want to go to jail for something I don’t want to do . Any tips would be appreciated I don’t know how to accept and move on when it feels so real that I did something!
