I am more horrified by the idea that I will hurt the people I love more than anything else. That kind of terror motivates everything I do. So I definitely relate. I can talk my fear down with some facts: I know that we only feel we’ll hurt someone because we care so deeply about NOT hurting them. The parts of ourselves that don’t match up helps you to identify. Intention is key, you know you wouldn’t intentionally hurt your wife. Anger is natural. Things happen. Punishment is nature in overdrive. Anytime I’m terrified I will hurt my partner I remind myself that I’m so scared because I love her and I would never hurt her on purpose. A person who intended to hurt someone they love wouldn’t agonize over the idea that they thought they would, they’d just do it.

I've also had that theme switch. Started at POCD, went to HOCD, and now harm. I just didn't know it was ocd until the harm. I hate this shit so much, it doesnt help my emotional state that my face looks dead and I look so depressed, and I feel it too. But nobody has said they've noticed the same so idk if it's just me knowing how I feel. I just want this to stop, I'm tired of going thru the days having panics attacks headaches and terrible thoughts.
