Harm ocd is probably my second most prevalent theme right now, aside from contamination. I have seen a few posts about harm ocd, you just have to look for them. I think you can filter what shows up on your feed, so you can see those relevant to your themes.

I have perfectionism as my first theme and next in line is harm OCD.

You can filter what shows up as that’s what I do. Also, JG, I have harm ocd mostly towards my wife but from time to time towards others. Ocd loves to target her though and when I was bad off I would get relief unfortunately when it didn’t target my wife. Mine started with a nightmare about stabbing her last May at the age of 36 late onset and has changed my life in a way in which I wish never happened.

Thank you all for your feedback and letting me know about filtering my feed! @Dre83 I’m very sorry to hear that you’re going through what you’re going through and have been ever since/for as long as you have been! I completely hear you when it comes to changing our lives; my childhood Harm OCD came back with a vengeance that has hospitalized me and debilitated/handicapped me ever since. Every day/all day is a fight!

Does anyone ever mimic/imagine harm OCD thoughts?
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

Anyone please?
Okay so I’ve dealt with harm OCD from the beginning. Started off with harming my kids, going to jail and then harming myself. The harm to myself stuck around for a long time. Then it went away and other themes picked up but it keeps coming back. This is like the third time it’s come back and every single time it comes back it feels worse. It feels like this is the time something is going to happen. Has anyone ever dealt with this? With old themes constantly coming back and feeling more real? Please any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Newbie and mama searching for help
Hey all, This is so strange to share this, and I have been judged by others and misdiagnosed many times. About a year ago I worked with an OCD therapist and it was really triggering. For me my thoughts are mainly about suicidal ocd and harm ocd centered around my children of all things. Fear that I could or would want to hurt them, then feeling so horrible that I believe I’m suicidal then I go back and forth on that. After reading a few of your posts, it makes me truly have a bit of hope that I can overcome this.
