My best advice on this is expose yourself to the feelings of being around them and over time the anxiety and fear will subside.

@Anonymous I’ve had some many thoughts go through my head on murdering that I lost count. This is one of the worst themes in my opinion

@Dre83 Same, I don’t mean to take other OCD subtypes for granted, but Harm OCD has to be one of the worst themes. The fact that your mind is tricking you with such horrible thoughts that could ruin ones life, it makes it so scary

@Anonymous Yeah I’m not either but the taboo topics are hard. And yeah literally ruin someone’s life for real

I have struggled with this same theme for the last 3 months — it started when I came home from college after being quarantined away from family for over a year and I was terrified to potentially give them COVID. Your awareness and fear is evidential that you are not a serial killer and that your brain is actually firing off warning signals for these thoughts. But, they are JUST that — thoughts. They are meaningless. And you are always in control.

Thank you so much, I understand how hard it must have been. It sucks because I’m doubting if I feel fear or not, and omg it’s so frustrating. But thank you for your words, I appreciate it

I know we’re not meant to ask for reassurance but I’m currently not in therapy and I need help, it feels scarily real and I feel like I’m not anxious or worried over the thoughts. I had stabbing thoughts about someone I care about and I started deliberately imagining them to test myself to see if I hate it or not but instead it felt like I knew how it feels to stab someone and like the feeling of doing that physical action and I swear it is the worst thing I have ever experienced as well I had moments where it felt like It was about to happen or I keep getting this really sick ‘happy’ feeling that I want to do that and I don’t know what that is but it feels incredibly real almost like I was getting a happy feeling or wanted to do that thing and jsut wasn’t giving into it and now I’m thinking I’m actually evil and it feels like I get a pleasurable feeling over the thought of doing that and would want to do it?? Because I ‘like’ the feeling of doing it or it would ‘feel’ good I swear I really don’t know what to do it feels incredibly real I feel like I can’t even say that I’m worried or scared because I feel like I’m lying and actually want it and have evil desires I’m really concerned, I have never done anything bad in my life, I feel like what if through experimenting and imagining the thoughts to test myself I have suddenly discovered I like it because it feels extremely real that I would ‘enjoy’ or like Doing that evil thing and it’s really concerning, i don’t understand I was fine a few days ago and suddenly I’m experiencing this? Is it possible to suddenly become evil i don’t want to be evil, but what if i like it and my desire to not be evil isn’t as strong as this ‘happy feeling’ i wish I can be normal I don’t want any of this please but I swear I feel like there is something wrong with me, I think this is the worst I’ve ever felt, like it feels like I want it and would enjoy it and it’s making me feel really worried but at the same time I don’t even know if I’m worried please help I need advice

Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it
