lately i’ve been having a lot of violent intrusive thoughts, and i don’t know why because i’ve never had them before... i can’t control them, and i always feel really alone and outcasted because no one i know has this form of ocd... i’m not worried i’ll act on them, i trust myself enough, but it bothers me that i always think of harmful things and it can really stress me out

Hi, I’m inthe same boat as you and one thing that really helps is to remember to be grateful for everything that we have and also try to switch to a happy perspective right away when you get rhose intrusive thoughts

You have to acknowledge that your mind is playing tricks on you and you have to weight out the pros and cons and know in your heart you wont do those things I mean anyone is capable of harming but we are humans and we don’t do those things

I think of violent things too you’re not alone

This is though ti deal with by yourself and definitely professional help is needed
