This is exactly what I’m going through right now. It’s sad because I get anxious around my own kids and makes it very difficult to enjoy my time around them. I’m not getting great sleep at night because the intrusive thoughts are constant. I never thought I would go through something like this, it’s got to the point where I’m being depressed I’m constantly on edge. Thinking I’m going insane. You are not alone

hey nothings dragging you to do anything. it's just the anxiety that makes it feel like an urge but it's actually the complete opposite. you're going through a lot of anxiety and dread right now, those are just physical symptoms that come with it! you are okay, you're not insane. i know exactly how you feel you're not alone on this.

Thank you so much for your help, yes I hope it is the anxiety. I am afraid that maybe if I stopped taking my pills I would actually end up doing something terrible :(

Thank you so much for sharing this, because oh my god yes it feels so real. Like something is dragging you to do it so so bad, and it feels like it is really but really gonna happen. Like it doesn’t matter that they are not ur desires, it strongly feels like it’s going to become true. But tysm for sharing because it makes me relieved I’m not alone feeling like this :(

Thank you so much!!!! The only problem is that I still haven’t been diagnosed with OCD, so I’m still not sure if I should do these things, because maybe they are something bad and not OCD :(

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

I dont know whats going on. I dont know if its OCD anymore. I know it was in the beginning. Ive been through a lot of trauma and had one little scary thought of killing my sister 4 months ago that has blossomed into this giant idea of me being a serial killer and wanting to hurt everyone (I never had any social issues growing up but I have had some trauma). Recently I’ve been having urges to just give in. And my mental images have been horrible and I can’t stop checking if I like them or not. I think I’ve convinced myself I have. This morning I woke up a shaking mess with an urge to unalive my family and when my mom left for work I was alone with my sister and couldnt stop vomiting uncontrollably. I dont know if i’m upset because I cant hurt anyone and I want to, or if I’m scared and just want my old life back. I was an avid horror and gore lover and now I’m convinced I want to do the things I’ve seen in the movies. Someone please help. I’m ready to check into the psych ward.
