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 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.

I have been really really struggling for the past 3 months and haven’t been able to stop intrusive thoughts/ rumination and confessing. It’s making me question my entire life, my relationship and even who I am as a person. It’s mainly effecting my relationship, I am so afraid that I did something or think things that are definitely hurtful to my partner. I know my brain is contorting my own memory and making things seem so much worse. I also know I haven’t done anything bad, all my things I’ve confessed about have been considered “normal” and I’ve been told that “you’re normal, you didn’t do anything wrong”. But I have felt this intense sense of guilt and shame and it doesn’t go away, I can’t even be a normal person anymore. And I keep searching for “just one more thing I need to tell” and I don’t want to keep searching my brain of every time I’ve said or done anything that I can distort and make seem 1000% worse. I’m isolating myself and just feel like I’m a bad person. I keep confessing my thoughts, feeling, urges, etc. to my partner and while I know I would never do any of these I feel like my ocd is trying to convince me that maybe I would because “why else would you think it or feel guilty” and that makes it so much worse. I really need guidance on how to handle this. What do I do to stop feeling like this and heal?
