I have the same issue!! It’s like you don’t want to do then but they just keep coming. Makes you feel guilty, especially if you have a family/kids. Almost Makes you afraid to be alone! Reach out if you need to talk! We will get through this girl! I’ve learned that mild fullness is pretty effective. Or just taking deep breaths and forcing yourself to do your every day activities to get your confidence back up. You have to be confident in yourself and KNOW you will not follow through and that these are just your worries/anxieties.

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I understand that harm intrusive thoughts can absolutely hijack your mind and make you feel like you will follow through. I do encourage you to reach out for more help if acting on these intrusive thoughts is a concern of yours. Remeber that you don’t have to believe everything you think. And if you do find yourself in an emergency know that there are hotlines and other resources available to you. I’m sure a NOCD advocate will have better advice on this, but I couldn’t keep scrolling and leave your concerns without comment. I hope that today the thoughts are less consuming 🙏🏼

I understand this completely. They are thoughts. They do not control you.

I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.

TW: SEWERSLIDE WARNING I’m scared to continue living because I don’t want the worst to happen. The worst being me discovering I’m a sociopath, pedophile, ephebophile etc… I have people I don’t want to disappoint. I keep looking for an excuse/something wrong with me so that I can decide whether I want to continue living or just end my life and save myself from the embarrassment of my loved ones finding out. At the same time I’m afraid to die. I feel like I’m not making a lot of progress in therapy. The only thing keeping me going right now is the thought that maybe one day I will find out that I’m not a creep, a sociopath &/or an ephebophile. At the same time living everyday is hard with all this looming over me. Some days I feel like I can continue no &’s ifs or buts. Other days I feel like im my own cheerleader & i am actually this bad person i think i am. I am so confused. Yesterday this thing came up where i suddenly find myself thinking a 17 yr old actor is attractive mind you im 21 yrs old.. idk if this is arousal nonconcordance or what it is honestly..I’m just afraid that it says something about who I am.. maybe that’s why I like guys my age with smaller bodies because it reminds me of a younger person??? Idk

Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.
