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?
HARM OCD VENT. I feel Terrified. I am so scared that I am going to act on a terrible harm ocd intrusive thought on someone else. The idea, the sensations the urges terrify me because it feels so scarily real. I feel like im a horrible person - a danger and i’m so guilty for having intrusive thoughts. I hate knives, I avoid looking at them in real life, in the kitchen as i’m so terrified that i will do sone thing terrible. I get excited when my boyfriend cones round as i always think he knows about my thoughts so at least he would restrain me if i were to do anything bad. I just feel so scared so guilty. I have this horrible sensation of urge running through my body- currently im on the verge of tears- i feel lost. My ocd has even latched onto pumpkin carving - scared i will do something bad. Now my OCD is just being like “ maybe your avoiding is all fake and your trying to cover your a bad person” “ what if u actually want to “. “ I want to “ “ You arnt actually trying to hard from harmful objects “ its TERRIFYING. please may someone reply - I’m terrified right now its like an intrusive FEELING is in my body. Sorry guys. I NEED reassurance at this point, I don’t know what to do.
Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared
There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
