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
Has anyone else ever had harm ocd to the point of where you having thoughts about killing someone to get something? It freaked me out.
Still struggling with these thoughts they're causing extreme stress. I watched a video about ocd harm thoughts on YouTube and the guy said people without ocd plan the violent acts so now the thoughts have turned into worrying I could plan something even tho it scares me to death. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through that thanks
I’m looking for some help with this, of course OCD themes switch and lately it really is about harming others through contamination. Every time I touch something almost I have constant thoughts “if I don’t do this this means I want to hurt my family or loves one” but the thought feels so real like I want to do it, but obviously I don’t and gives me so much anxiety. Last couple months I was really spending a lot of time washing my hand from counting but now it’s got to the point that I can’t do anything without having thoughts that if I don’t clean or wash myself it means I want to get someone sick. It’s scary and I’m trying to not engage into the thoughts but they keep popping up. Any tips with harm contamination OCD and reducing these crazy thoughts? It almost feels like I want to have these thoughts but really they scare me if that’s makes sense? Any help would be awesome, thanks!!
