I feel the same way. There are times I have the thought of harming someone and I just blow it off and know I would never do it. But other times the anxiety and thoughts get so intense it really feels like I would act on those harmful thoughts. They used to be much worse, but I have been seeing a NOCD therapist and do feel like I’m slowly getting better and handling the thoughts better through the ERP I’m doing for my harm OCD.

I know exactly how you feel. I used to tell myself that I am in charge of my own seating (it turned into a compulsion) but it just doesn’t feel that way. I feel like I’ve randomly turned into someone else. I feel like I don’t know who I am and I don’t know what’s true in my mind and what’s not. I feel like my destiny has been decided for me and I hate that. I know I don’t wanna do these thing but my thoughts tell me otherwise and I feel so lost and confused and frustrated with myself. So yes, I can relate to you!!! OCD is a b****

Omg yes I feel you so much!! I relate to all that so much. I don’t wanna do it but as soon as I say that my mind says: are you sure? Is that true? I hate it. But thank you so so much for sharing, it makes me feel less alone. I am so sorry you’re going through this tho, I know how hard it is. But we’re in the same page together :)

This happen to me and wow it caused me so much stress. I remember even telling my husband that I’m not good anymore. That I was “evil”. I thought I was gonna commit a crime. This lasted for 8 months But at the end throughout those months I worked really hard to learn to shift my mind, to put in effort to think otherwise, I put effort to work and also to socialize and practice healthy habits. I also took store bought relaxers and told myself I rather be numb and too relax then being capable of hurting someone. If you wanna try them (they are called “Anxie-T” by life season. Til this day when I get nervous I use them and even my family does. They work like a charm. And obviously I got professional help but all I did was talk to the therapist and got ssris from my gynecologist but I only took 1 pill cause they gave me side affects. Anyways these all helped. I still have this thoughts but I don’t freak out anymore or believe they have anything with me..

I feel you so much. It’s so scary tbh. I feel so confused right now, as if I wanted to do all this and I just don’t want to accept it. Or like my unconscious wants to do this but I’m just denying it. Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate it, I’m glad you recovered, I hope I get through that as well. It’s very hard not to engage with thoughts because it feels that it’s something important I just can not ignore, but I’ll try my best. Thank you:)

I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩
