Hi I am scared, that i want to hurt someone (my mother or boyfriend). My thoughts are horrible. My big fear is that i am going to be a bad person or murder:(( I do not know how to stop. My therapist (she is not ocd therapist) doesn’t help me :(
I don’t want to reassure you, because that’s not good for OCD, but I will let you know something. Our OCD thoughts are based on things that we fear the most, and people with OCD thoughts are less likely than other people to act on their thoughts.
@Spirit130 Thanks, can we text in private messages please? A really need help?🙏🥺
@pechackovadela Yeah, of course!
@Spirit130 How can i text you? I am new here 😅

@pechackovadela Do you have a discord, or some sort of messenger? I don’t feel comfortable giving out my personal number
@Spirit130 Yeah, of course, instagram? But i have discord too
@Spirit130 Messenger is the best!
@Spirit130 What messenger name do have you ?
An OCD specialist would be better for helping with these things. Generally they’d help you do ERP therapy, which involves exposing yourself to the fears over time so the thoughts start to get less serious. There’s lots of articles about it online, example exposures would be something like writing out your worst case scenario and repeating it to yourself but what works depends on the person
just a couple days ago i experienced this for the first time from watching the new DAHMER series. Im having intrusive images and thoughts of me harming or killing my loved ones and its so scary because i would never do it. It has me questioning if im crazy and im having severe panic attacks over 3 times a day. Im mentally and physically drained, i’ve told my mom about it and we are going to see a therapist tomorrow. Im scared to because idk if they specialize in OCD and if i tell them my thoughts they are gonna put me in the mental hospital or say im crazy and don’t have OCD, can any therapists on here or fellow people with Harm OCD let me know if you think im showing signs of it, i just want it to go away and to be able to sleep at night without severe overthinking.
i am so terrified i might hurt somebody. i have harm ocd, and lately, the things i do to make myself feel better (my compulsions) aren’t helping anymore and i don’t know what to do. i’m scared i have the urge to hurt somebody, specifically my family. i hate being in the same house as them out of fear i might want to one day grab something and kill them. i don’t. i would never dream of it. but i’m so terrified. i keep on posting about the same things, and i’m sorry, i just don’t know what else to do to make myself feel better. i know i’m supposed to sit with uncertainty, but it’s just so hard 🙁
So my mom wasn't/isn't the best mom in the world and she hevaly traumatized me. My parents are devorsed and I go to my mom's house every other weekend, now I haven't been diagnosed with ocd yet (I have a diagnosis app on the 11th) so I don't have any meds for it, anyway, I keep having these thoughts of harming my mother in extream ways, and I made the decision that I can't go to her house until we figure out what's going on with me for her own safety, I can't get any of these thoughts to go away and ik really scared
