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 don’t think I’ve ever been violent as a kid (im 21 now) and the intrusive thoughts don’t go away so im just stuck all day everyday for the past few weeks just thinking and being scared about it and im having all these weird emotions like being irritated and angry I don’t want to hurt people I don’t think idk why my mind is making me think I do I’ve had intrusive thoughts before that I could brush away sure it took like a day or two but this one is different it doesn’t go away and leaves me with the worst fear imaginable and nothing I look up that should be giving me relief is giving me relief + I feel like im not in control of my body and that im just gonna lose it and act on these thoughts it’s just all on a loop and im not sure how im supposed to live the rest of my life when im in constant fear of my self

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.
