You’re not evil. The thoughts bother you and that is a great indication you’re not evil and you don’t want to do the things your mind tells you. I have Harm OCD and mine is always about my husband and kids. It sucks! One thing to remember is you’re not alone. So many ppl suffer from this and we are not evil we just have chemical imbalances that trigger these thoughts. You’re going to be ok. You’re not going to hurt anyone. I also read that saying “yet” is also great when it comes to ocd thoughts. If you say well I’ve had these thoughts and haven’t done it yet as in I’ve made it through these thoughts before and never acted on them. It may help you. It doesn’t necessarily help me all the time but it has in the past when I’ve just had enough of thinking those things. You’re in my thoughts and Prayers❤️

Wow! I thought I was alone. Mine is always about my wife and kids. Everyday I'm scared to be in my own home. We will get through this! I'm praying for guidance for all of us 🙏 This too shall pass

Thank you so much for sharing this, for real, I appreciate you so much for this. You’re really sweet❤️ Thank you so much for giving me strength and words of support, this is really hard to deal with, but it’s kinda relieving to know I’m not alone. Sometimes it feels like my thoughts and feelings are different, so I might not have OCD, it’s scary and it sucks. Thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers, you’re in mine too, god bless you❤️

I'm at my college and don't feel like being here. I didn't even want to come here. I woke up with anxiety bc i feel like i need to solve this. I had a bad stomach ache when i arrived to school and still havent even eaten breakfast yet bc i feel like i have to solve this. Im just so worried bc i have harm thoughts daily. If i could i would remove this! I dont want to think anymore. Its just, how do I know i dont have real urges when I'm feeling a negative emotion like anger or disappointment or annoyance? Im worried EVERY time i feel a negative emotion. Yesterday I was playing video games with my neice (we are close in age range) and she made us lose. She started blaming me and I guess i felt a little annoyed, it really wasnt my fault (dumb mini argument it was more playful since we started laughing but it was a bit annoying). Anyway i got a harm thought while feeling annoyed of me getting off the couch and lunging at her to attack. I immediately look at my bodily reaction and I tense up to stay as still as possible. My stomach was hurting and i wanted to leave as fast as possible. I stood up and turned off the game and said i was tired while making sure to stay back from her (and i had my hands away and stiff) but i felt so uneasy. I laid I bed and felt sad and heavy. And i kept getting thoughts that said "íts only a matter of time before you can't take it anymore". I started to reassurance seek using ai to ask if i was about to or if they are real urges or thoughts i mean until i eventually fell asleep in the middle of the compulsion. Im just so worried, what if I act out impulsevly one day? I dont want to! But what if when feeling a negative emotion, i suddenly dont care and do something? I really dont want to! I dont even want to feel negative emotions anymore since they trigger the thoughts and I dont want to think about any of that. As a result i tend to avoid my family as much as possible bc they are annoying sometimes. I just wish i was all alone sometimes so i wont get any more thoughts and so everyone can be safe. I usually just stay in bed under my blankets all day long to avoid my family and pets. I am constantly uncomfortable. I miss when i would never think any of this. Living life has become very scary for me now. 😞

i had thoughts of “planning” to harm my boyfriend. we have a trip coming up and my intrusive thoughts were telling me “nobody will know if you harm him all the way over there”, then my mind started rambling on like “everyone will know-“ and so on and so forth, it actually made me feel like i was contemplating on doing something and now it feels like im turning evil ): has anyone had thoughts like this?
