Learning to be around the people your brain says you want to hurt. My gf and I haven’t been on the best terms so I’ve been a bit angry at her. I woke up one morning and had crazy thoughts that I wanted to hurt her. I jolted out of bed and started throwing up. Eventually I came back upstairs on the verge to call 911 or something and she woke up and I hugged her for a solid 10 mins. All of those thoughts her gone. Hug these people and remind yourself you love them and that could possibly never happen
@Jessica_castroo Thanks for it 🩷
I simply remind myself that they’re just thoughts and that I would never do such a thing. As a matter of fact, just this morning I had thoughts of harming my own kids. It was absolutely terrible and uncomfortable but I know that I would never ever hurt them
@Anonymous This happens to me
I think by just taking it day by day. If it’s so bad that you feel you can’t be around many people than that’s okay and than the next day try and be around those people and remind yourself you are not your thoughts. You’d never hurt anyone.
@Emmnala Yes some days are better but some days I feel really anxious especially in the mornings and finally i end up avoiding a lot of social situations, sitting at home depressed
Hi how ru feeling now?
i’m back in a cycle of having harm related OCD thoughts and feelings and urges and i get these episodes where it’s like i’m disassociating and feel like i’m about to snap and go crazy violent. does anyone else experience this? i need help
I am so scared that my *undiagnosed* OCD is going to make me harm someone close to me in my family. I’m afraid of knives, I’m afraid of things that COULD be a weapon like pens, forks or anything like that. My sister is my BFF and my thoughts have latched onto her. I’m so afraid!! I don’t know how to make them stop. How do I stop and will it eventually subside? How do I work on compulsions? I’m on Zoloft 50mg as well for 3.5 weeks and a lot of my other worries have subsided except this one. I feel like a crazy person :( Also does this sound like OCD?
Hi guys. Hope everyone is okay I just wanted to ask for some ppl to share how they overcame harm ocd completely so that I can get an idea of how to work towards healing. Thank you :)
