i’m struggling with something similar, it’s especially hard when OCD latches onto a specific person in your life that you truly care about. but i believe in you, and trust me we ALL feel doomed and like ERP won’t help us lol. but you never know until you try.

I feel like I can’t live in that house I have so much guilt and so much anxiety. I feel like I’m a walking danger in that house and I feel like my mind is going to twist it into it happening even though I know I didn’t. I cry knowing I could of her hurt her I always wanted a little sister now I have one and this is what’s happening I feel so terrible. I just want to leave that house and go somewhere where I feel I can’t do no harm. It fucking sucks

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ i know the thoughts and feelings associated with the thoughts are horrifying and feel so real. but i’ve found that the more time i spend avoiding the person involved in my intrusive thoughts, the worse they get. if i spend some time with them, the thoughts are still in the back of my mind but i realize i’m not acting on my thoughts and it starts to feel normal. and if you aren’t acting on the thoughts, you’ve done nothing wrong. the only thing the thoughts are hurting is yourself.

Ok, so your distress just proves you don’t want to do it. I understand that reassurance doesn’t always make us feel good. & generally having the thought its torment. What you need to do, to at least alleviate your anxiety about harming your little sister, is you’ve got to spend time with her. Even if thoughts get scary, you’ll realize over time you just don’t want to actually do it. That will seriously help you.

Yeah it makes me so sad I never had thoughts like this before. And I was just crying saying I could never and than a thought came but what if I want to and it scares because I feel like idk what is real. I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore I’ve been like this for two months and it’s only getting worse. I just want to end it all forever because I don’t see it getting better anytime soon and I don’t think I could live like this forever. I’m really afraid of myself right now

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ when my ocd gets bad i feel the same way u feel. i have been dealing with the same kind of thoughts for several years. i thought it was just depression i never accepted it was ocd. but in reality it’s ocd it’s an illness u will get better just hang in there. also know these thoughts bother u soo much and make u uncomfortable. in reality if u was really a p or liked your sister this situation wouldn’t cause u this much stress or worry. i tell myself the same thing. it’s hard but hang in there we got it. only we can be our biggest help. i never comment but felt the need to. i hope this helps u and whoever is reading and struggling ❤️

I've had these thoughts too, about my 2 year old nephew. There is nothing worse. But that fact that it repulses you so much? Proof you're not a p. Praying for you!

How do you deal with that it feels like I get urges and I am not sure how to handle that. I always feel like I need to get out of the situation.

i am convinced im a psycho killer. everytime im around my mom or sister i get these intense thoughts of stabbing or hurting them. when they’re not around its not as intense but its still there. its literally on my mind 24/7. im so tense 24/7. were currently looking for a puppy for the family and when me and my sister were playing with them today the thought was still there. nothing distracts me from it. video games and EVERYTHING else doesn’t work. im starting to feel like i WANT to do these things. i was never like this until i had a marijuana induced panic attack in january. i feel like something happened to my brain and its not just ocd anymore. i dont even know if im faking it. i have suffered from relationship ocd, pedophile ocd, and health ocd. i got over those relatively quickly. this new theme came out of nowhere after a panic attack on a plane coming home from a horror convention in february. i dont see a way out of this one. its been months. i try to let them sit and i get a panic attack. all i do everyday is cry. i feel like my life is over. i talk to a therapist and i have tried two medications that didnf work work. i dont know how to live like this. im afraid im gonna lose my relationship and im afraid im gonna lose my whole life ahead of me. im just 22. i just want the old me back.

i haven’t been diagnosed with ocd but I have anxiety about harming other people/family members and it’s like urges and im scared I actually want to do it? 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
