Yes I have been suffering from these thoughts for months now, thankfully I’m going to be seeking professional help which is long due now, and have some relief knowing that if these thoughts brjng you discomfort it means you don’t want these thoughts and they don’t align with your values. Unfortunately we can’t rid ourselves from these thoughts but we can make them appear less often, and that is by simply sitting with the thought and treating it as all it is, which again is just a thought. Best of luck to you!

Sadly yes , and with horrible images to go with them. Harm ocd is very disturbing as you think of horrific images and thoughts that go against your personal beliefs or true feelings. It does get better if you treat your ocd. Stay strong

I'm trying, but what I lack is the control to not do compulsions. I have that very black and white thinking with these thoughts.

@Anonymous 1983 Do your best to not comply with your compulsion. Even if you only delay it at first and really feel the victory with every step when you can do that. Or try changing the compulsion in some way to make it under your control. The more you take control back the easier it will get.

@ivrec That is very ture the less compulsion you do, the less your ocd will bother you has make the ocd cycle weaker .

Help! Had a horrible thought about harming loved one
I have severe various forms of ocd. Now it’s harm related. I love my family and daughter but today all of the sudden when I’m driving I had a horrible thought of: omg i will kill my own child one day because I’m crazy. And this thought is so horrifying because I have no intentions of harming anyone but these thoughts come up and I’m freaking out…anyone else have extreme intrusive thoughts?

Harm ocd thoughts today
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

Harm ocd
I was having a really good day at work and then all of a sudden, I realize that my harm OCD wasn’t there and then that reminded my brain to think about all these horrible things. I’ve been having really bad intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt people or the fear of doing these things and I caught myself ruminating on things like oh well did this movie make me feel uncomfortable so I can reassure myself that I don’t wanna do these things and it’s just that fear like that I’m gonna wanna do it and it’s not even people that I’m close to. It’s literally anyone it could be like a random stranger thing about these things cause I know that’s a compulsion. So I thought I would put a message out to see if anyone could relate or has any advice.
