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

Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

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.

I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks
