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.

Hi thank you, I am not. I don’t know if I have OCD tbh, but I will try with OCD specialists maybe that will help

@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.

Hi again :c I’ve been having terrible thoughts of hurting my loved ones I’ve stopped watching horror movies which is my favorite genre and can’t even watch or read anything related to violence even if it’s just a video or movie talking about it, I get triggered so fast I really miss feeling that relief with my mom I miss my mom so much and I just don’t know what to do anymore I almost committed last weekend from how scared I was and Ik your thinking will you try again? idk I’m not sure, one day I might say “no” next I’ll plan it out, but truth be told I don’t want to die I want to live a normal life, I want to stay with my mom and my family, I love my family and my grandma and my older brother..I’m so sick of feeling this feeling, I’m tired of arguing with my brain, I want to be with my mom and spend time with her like I used to, but I can’t stand that thought of hurting them it makes me shake and I feel this pain in my chest, my OCD has been trying to convince me all those crime docs and stuff I’m into turned me this way but that’s impossible since I’ve never thought like this before I’m just tired that’s all Idek know what I’m looking for saying this..prolly just to vent or to know if this will ever go away..

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…
