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
Yes that’s the exact fear that formed in my head as well legit word for word I struggled so bad for the longest time with it I promise you will get through it it’s just another thing your OCD is trying to attach itself to listen to your favorite song right now and write your feelings out are you in ERP?
Hey thanks for the words of support ♥️. Yea I had my 1st appointment this last Sunday she was awesome but out of my timezone so I'm meeting with a new Dr tomorrow. Hope your doing well ☺️
@Ragnarking18 Thank you! I hope you get through this too I know how scary it can be I’m sorry you are going through this
I have this in a way too. If I see that kind of thing, it will feel like my brain is “running away” with thoughts of it trying to make a plan. It’s so stupid and awful. Is that kind of what you’re talking about? Mine does it with everything. See something? It will come up with a way to tie it to my theme.
Yea every theme I get I'm scared of the planning thoughts. I talked to my therapist for the 1st time and she said the difference between people with ocd and people who act on the thoughts is they plan to act on they're thoughts. So that triggered me to have thoughts I could plan out my thoughts and it's terrifying makes my anxiety go from 0-11
@Ragnarking18 Yep! I don’t understand. It’s like it’s doing it for you, and you don’t want it to. I guess it’s sort of like that white bear study - where they told the students not to think of a white bear and all they did was…you guess it - think of one. But it’s hard then because then I’m like, did I just do that??? Or if they tell me there’s no intent, I start to question, well, is there?
@Ellasmama Yea im just so sick of these thoughts 24/7
Thanks alot appreciate it. Did you ever feel guilty about doing things you love while having these thoughts like I'm at the gym and I feel I don't deserve to be having fun
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.
I am really struggling. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head, causing a horrible intrusive feeling in my head. Even if I’m just simply scrolling and see someone sometimes this feeling of an intrusive thought becomes present, leading it to become horrid intrusive thoughts and feelings. I would never want to hurt anyone. Let alone do it and I’m struggling so much. I feel like I have a constant harm related intrusive thought in my head and feeling. Which is reinforced when I look at people. It goes when im distracted and then i remember the horrid feeling. I feel like bursting into tears, ive had enough. Can anyone relate? I feel like a constant intrusive thought and feeling IN my head im so sad :( I feel horrid. Scared ill go crazy.
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.
