Hey! So I have Harm OCD too. High five to feeling like a crazy person! Mine mostly centers around my family, but there have been times when I'm driving over bridges and I'm terrified I'll do something to myself. This is way easier said than done, but try not to think about tomorrow. Take each day at a time. When you're on the train tomorrow and that sicky feeling starts creeping up, focus on being present. Touch your seat, feel your shirt, focus on breathing. Remind yourself that thoughts are just thoughts and don't actually mean anything. The more you expose yourself to trains the easier they will become. Think of it as a bully. Tomorrow if you show OCD that you don't care, it won't taunt you as much. If it helps, picture OCD as a bully. One who is taunting you and visually picture yourself walking away and ignoring the lies it spews. God bless you, you will make it through. I promise!

Yep driving over bridges use to get to me a lot because I would get the feeling or thoughts that I wanted to drive over them with my family in the vehicle and I live in an area with a lot of bridges. Doesn’t bother me as much anymore but it will creep up on me every once in a while. But harm ocd finds other ways to make me obsess outside of bridges. You got this face that train and tell ocd to F off lol

HARM OCD VENT. I feel Terrified. I am so scared that I am going to act on a terrible harm ocd intrusive thought on someone else. The idea, the sensations the urges terrify me because it feels so scarily real. I feel like im a horrible person - a danger and i’m so guilty for having intrusive thoughts. I hate knives, I avoid looking at them in real life, in the kitchen as i’m so terrified that i will do sone thing terrible. I get excited when my boyfriend cones round as i always think he knows about my thoughts so at least he would restrain me if i were to do anything bad. I just feel so scared so guilty. I have this horrible sensation of urge running through my body- currently im on the verge of tears- i feel lost. My ocd has even latched onto pumpkin carving - scared i will do something bad. Now my OCD is just being like “ maybe your avoiding is all fake and your trying to cover your a bad person” “ what if u actually want to “. “ I want to “ “ You arnt actually trying to hard from harmful objects “ its TERRIFYING. please may someone reply - I’m terrified right now its like an intrusive FEELING is in my body. Sorry guys. I NEED reassurance at this point, I don’t know what to do.

I am so so so anxious, I cant even describe it. I have this horrific anxious feeling going through my body where it feels like im about to do something terrible. I feel incredibly sick, shakey, panicky. Due to this harm ocd episode. I am so scared that I might act on a disgusting horrific harm intrusive thought. I dont wanna be near knives, go to the kitchen or even get up. As im so scared that Im going to act on it. I know I dont want to but this anxiety and horrid feeling makes me feel like i do. I am petrified the anxiety is terrifying. I sat in the kitchen earlier while my brother was close and I was scared because it feels so real even typing this im starting to panic. Please respons please and please say if your uk based it brings me a bit of comofrt as I know im not alone in this country! What makes it worse is my family were talking about their aspirations and dreams then i felt even more scared of the intrusive thoughts because if i did act on them they would be destroyed and then I also feel so much guilt cos i get scared my bf is scared of me has anyone had this does it go.

There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
