Bren i know exactly how you feel this is my exact fear and theme. But i know this wont help but you are not going to hurt anyone or turn into anything evil. There will be moments that you will think your losing it but you are not its ocd trying to scare and convince you and you always pull through. It sucks man i know it does, everyday i ask why me, i long for my old life back and worry that im not myself anymore, but thats ocd. It will get better, with help. Keep strong man.

Thank you, i just keep thinking if I’m thinking it must be true. I keep trying to tell myself I’d never do that, and it’s not me, but then my brains like “you do want to do this, otherwise you wouldn’t think about it” and I’m scared because I’ve just started to feel numb to it because it’s so exhausting. I’ve always been a huge people person my whole life, and now I’m scared to be around people because I feel like a monster

I get where you coming from 100 percent i used to be very out going and funny and just fun loving person but rn im very quite stray away from people and when its horrific visuals i hide from people to try and calm down. Sometimes i do feel numb but yet still fight on the inside. Some days i just want to lay down and give up but i know better. Its weird that a good portion of people are fighting the same fight as me. Your not alone man and we'll make it through

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Is this even OCD?
Hey so a couple months ago (7-8) I remember being upset at my family member. Like she was talking too much while I was annoyed and remember wanting her to be quiet. I got an intrusive thought like a really bad image of doing something really bad to her, and my hand twitched to the side a little? Like it felt like I was about to?! And I remembered thinking "if I do this, I'll get in trouble". I got up and left to the bathroom and felt horrified! I was thinking "did I want to act out? Did the only reason I didn't act out was because of getting in trouble? If there was no consequences, would have I done it?! Does this mean this whole time I've been using OCD as an excuse?" I remember I couldn't sleep for 3 nights because of how bad the anxiety was, I was crying and I felt very guilty like I should turn myself in to a mental hospital. I couldn't eat for many days or be near her because of that thought and twitch I had! I'm worried it was an impulse or I actually wanted to hurt her. And even to this day I still ruminanate about this. Like last night I couldn't sleep well I kept waking up every two hours and asking myself "am I capable?" I couldn't eat last night. Sometimes I move on from it like I forget that happened but when I remember, I feel distressed about it! I don't want to be an evil person or do bad actions towards anyone! I'm even scared to be angry because of this because I'm scared I have more "chance" of acting out due to anger. Like was it an impulse and I held back? Is this even OCD? Please help, I'm really scared!
