Yes, it’s harm OCD. Let the thoughts be and go about your daily routine.

I’ve been having the exact same thoughts!! I thought if anyone hears what I’m thinking they’ll think I’m crazy! I’m glad I’m not alone as that thought can be so scary and hard to control. Accept the thoughts and allow them to come and go, there’s no shame in because so many people have the same thoughts and some could be even worse. I watched a crime documentary and this sparked me off to have harm OCD as I was thinking “what if I ever do that?” Or “what if I became a murderer” accept it as just a thought it’s not an action.

It is OCD. OCD attacks your loved ones and makes you feel like you actually want to harm them. Say yes I do want to harm them and totally agree with the thoughts I know this is extremely hard but if you do that it wk get better. And you do have the willpower to agree with these thoughts and get better :$

That's definitely harm ocd! It was the first kind of OCD I had as a real young kid and was scary. I always had thoughts of calling my dad a swear word or stabbing him or strangling him and I cried myself to sleep a lot. It came back ten times as bad a few months ago when I finally got a boyfriend after trying to find someone who liked me for so long. Now that I have a top priority, OCD loves to attack it, so I get thoughts of killing him or his family and I just hate myself for it. But, they are just thoughts and it's OCD trying to hurt you. Don't give into the thoughts. Confessing is my biggest compulsion and I always have to sit with the OCD and anxiety without telling people about the thoughts. It's so so hard, but it helps reduce the anxiety if the thought comes back again ☺️

I’m having a very bad evening with my intrusive thoughts. I was doing really good dealing with them but tonight one hit me hard. I’ve been having a lot of different intrusive thoughts but I’ll have one occasionally about hurting my mom or my dog who I love and they’re the only family I have in my life. They’re my world. I was helping my mom put away the dishes and I had the big kitchen knife in my hand and my intrusive thought was you could stab your mom. And then my brain said I had a twitch in my hand and that meant I wanted to do it. Let me just say that I wouldn’t hurt a fly. I actually caught a fly in a glass and put it outside instead of killing it this evening before this intrusive thought happened. I’m such a gentle and compassionate and caring person and these thoughts instantly cause me to have a panic attack. And I have no one to talk to them about. I know they’re hard for my mom to hear and I don’t want to be any more of a burden than I already am. I do desperately want to tell her and have her reassure me that I’m not crazy or a psycho. Then my thoughts wander to if your hand did flinch could you be a psychopath. Is hurting someone in you. I know it’s not but I feel like my mind is out to get me and hurt me. I’m working so hard and I thought I was doing so good but I need to know why I have these thoughts. They’re not ok. I need someone to help me make sense of why. I know we aren’t supposed to ruminate but I shouldn’t have thoughts like this about people I love and care about the most in the world.

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
