hi ! i just wanted to say that u prob have ocd like 99.9% sure. and i have been on a long journey with my ocd. i can relate to you except i have the thoughts about my little sister. it is horrible. its scary bc that’s the only thought or topic or whatever that really triggers me and i’ve had this thought and secret fear in me for like 3 years. just sit with the thoughts and what helps me a lot is talking to urself like out loud and sorta meditating and praying . and also actions speak louder than words. and ocd can trick u like that into making u think that u want to do it and it will literally “feel” like u want to. its all a big mind game. u are not alone ❤️

Hey thank you so much for making me feel like I’m not alone in this hell. I am so sorry you struggle with the same thing. I know it’s hard to speak about this to others, I haven’t either, but I think it’s important to do so :( I really hope you get through this, thank you so much for your advice, I will try to not pay much attention to these feelings❤️ much love

I am sorry that you are having these feelings. Are you in ERP therapy? As hard as it is to do, sit with the thought without giving it any value whatsoever.

@Anonymous Connection with an ERP therapist will address the diagnosis. The NOCD therapists are really great. I am not a professional but in treatment and I find responding to these thoughts with maybe maybe not is a helpful response.

Listen to episode 252 and 269 of the OCD stories podcast. I know what you're going through. I have similar thoughts about my son.

@Anonymous You, others, and I have to learn to be ok with these thoughts. Most of it is ruminating and worrying about it and not really unwanted thoughts.

We also must learn that these thoughts don't have special meaning behind them. They are just random automatic thoughts that occur more to people with OCD. Don't engage with it and don't try to solve it.

@Anonymous That’s true, it’s really hard not to give importance to those thoughts, but turns out they mean nothing. I wish the best to you!

I'm terribly sorry, I know exactly how difficult it can be. Good news is, we can recover if we stop our compulsions.

i can’t do this much longer
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…

idk if its harm ocd anymore
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.
