My Harm OCD feels like a torture cell to me.... it gives me all these very violent and gruesome content. It started with stabbing my family members. Later on, it started varying. The content gets quite disturbing. It gets extremely uncomfortable for me to even talk to anybody about it. Though I have said some to my Therapist. But, how do I handle such violent content ! I try to give the correct kind of response but it takes a toll on me to realise the fact that my brain's imagination can produce such violent images.... the worst is when I am the doer and someone close to me is the victim in the obsessive thought(most of the times it's always that). Sometimes I try to take courage in the moment that okay may be this is it.... may be anything harm/violence related I had ever seen or heard has already been used by my obsessive mind. But, seems like there is no end to it...and every thought I get is worse than the previous one. Also I fear if I might actually turn into someone different than what I am. Though I know, it's my anxiety talking ... but then, I start to ruminate by trying to picturise myself in some kind of similar situation and whether I might actually want to create any sort of hurt/pain to someone, just to make sure that's actually not the case and I would never want to do anything like that to anybody. But, my mind starts to contradict there as well saying it's just a hollow belief you are holding onto and that might not be true.

Try to stop ruminating man. I had this ocd for a year. it was torture. it ruined my life for that year. The more you ruminate the more thoughts will come.

I dont then i get the fear that i i will unneccesarily limit my self and then o get the feeling to check something related to that so i know i wouldnt limit myself but then it means i have to avoid anything eelated and limit doing even normal things. So if i get the idea of doing something should i never do it or be like i'll just do it later and delay it?

Is erp done as thoughts and urges come in or do you purposely think of something that you fear then try to not respond

What is the ERP for this?

Accept uncertainty, allow the thought that he is not handsome to be there without trying to get rid of it or do compulsions. Maybe you don’t think he is handsome, maybe you do. Feelings and thoughts are not facts

Anonymous192775

I recently had a bad OCD spike and I’m over it now as I realized it was just OCD but I’m still feeling anxiety and regret, I regret doing what I did to trigger it, if I had just continued working on my project and not taking a break this wouldn’t have had to happen, this is causing the biggest stress right now

I have the thought that my boyfriend is not so handsome, but he is so kind to me and loves me and I want to love him too. But I think he is not handsome and I don't know how I can be with him, please tell me how to love first of all his soul and not to put so much importance of his appearance
