I can kind of relate to how you feel, I always got these uncomfortable thoughts, like whenever I was angry at someone I sometimes got this urge to just choke them or stab them. And not like the oh I’m gonna kill you blah blah blah like the fact that I had the thought scared me. I felt so uncomfortable afterwards because I would NEVER want to hurt someone. But the feelings are so real! Please know that you aren’t in this alone. I try writing down how I feel in the notes app on my phone to show to my therapist (when I go see one) to show them how I feel. It’s hard, trust me. You aren’t alone ❤️
Trust me, your not the only one, aka me
When I’m alone I still panic and it’s worse in the morning and sometimes I’m absolutely convinced I am what my thoughts want me to be and I literally freak out, I go ballistic
Yeah it sucks, the thoughts are look so realistic, it freaks me out
@lexnot thank you I know they are not my thoughts but the feel so real, I’m so scared they might become real.
@ImaWarrior10 I know, I get that way with my thoughts. You and I will get through this.
Are you on meds or seeing a psychiatrist
Not yet, still searching, and even then my mind will tell me I don’t want to get better and I’m afraid that I won’t be like myself again or that I’m gonna miss thinking like this when in reality I know I won’t lol
Yeah I know that feeling, that shit is scary. I am afraid to be alone but when im alone nothing happens.
also I’m trying to get meds too because sometimes I feel overwhelmed
Do you see therapy for ocd?
Can someone share what they are going through I mean their thoughts because I’m scared
I also have the same problem. I’m trying to work on acceptance. I’m seeing my therapist today, I’m also going to try to only eliminate one compulsion at a time instead of eliminating all. I think it’s too much for me to stop them all at once. My compulsions are: avoiding, reassurance seeking, & ruminating.
Your not alone. I have had this since the age 16, I'm now 32. There have been points when I could be sitting with my partner and I tell myself to hit him, even though I never have a never will. I used to be scared to do normal things sometimes like cooking just incase being near a knife etc would trigger the thoughts. It's scary and it's frustrating and lonely because there is nothing worse than feeling like a bad person when your not. I can honestly relate and your not alone
if any responds to this, it would save my night. Just knowing there is someone there who understands. This past week my ocd has been worse than usually. My harm ocd is so terrible, violent thoughts and images fill my head and I can’t make it stop and the thoughts constantly are centered toward my family members. It’s so terrible I just feel like crying and I’m so heavy and empty inside. Does anyone else understand? Know what it’s like. All this fear and doubt. Are these my own thoughts? Why am I having these? Am I a psychopath? Do I want to do these things? And so on. I just want to scream. I’m so so scared and I feel sick to my stomach and I don’t want to be anywhere near my family right now. Help me please
Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with violent intrusive thoughts/images and even urges. And in this very moment, I feel very anxious, desperate and I feel an urgency to my thoughts. I don’t know if this is a normal thing, but sometimes it’s hard for me to look at people, I don’t know why but it makes me uncomfortable. Maybe because I don’t know if I would be capable of harming them or not. I’ve also been avoiding hanging out with people lately. This feels so real that I’m afraid it’s not OCD, I feel like it’s not OCD and it’s scary bc I haven’t been diagnosed yet. I hope anyone can respond to this.
Anyone currently going through this? Or went through this? I have harm ocd and it’s either about my family or then about myself and I feel afraid of not having any hope any more. I get suicidal thoughts both as intrusive thoughts but also as something I would want to stop all the anxiety I feel. Any help is appreciated
