I watched an episode with my mom about harm ocd (it’s on a med show). She didn’t have the reaction I was hoping for. She saw the guy as a threat, and had a bad reaction when she heard his thoughts. Which hurt, cause I’ve had those thoughts and have been bed ridden due to them. It has definitely triggered me a lot and apart of me now wants to run and admit myself somewhere because I have this underlying fear of what if I’m dangerous? I don’t want to be. I don’t want any of this, yet at times ocd can cause me to doubt so much

Harm OCD

A lot of people just don’t understand what OCD is and how it works. That is not your fault. It also isn’t your mother’s fault because the lack of proper education on OCD is what makes people unaware and insensitive to the topic. Educate her more and more. Explain your situation and she will understand. You got this!
