please, it's "normal" to have thoughts that aren't yours? like, sometimes the thoughts come like it's me saying it. It's very scaring. I would never like to hurt anybody or wish that something bad happen to the people I love the most. but it feels so real. I would never like to be a bad person. and I am always saying to God that I would never be like this, I am always explaining and praying.

I don't know what's happening. please, someone help me ?

yes this is called Harm OCD. Look it up and the treatment for it, you can learn to do exposures and eventually the thoughts will reduce and the anxiety will reduce.

Sounds like OCD. And I have probably experienced it before. Along with, at some point in time, just about every kind of OCD. Because it does change themes.I have one main OCD problem that has stayed with me for a long time. And that is saying certain things over and over. And those certain things have changed over the years. But I believe they are all about doubting. I want to express doubt to other people. And it's like, How do I get that out of my speech? Everything people have said, like my counselors, I'm like, that won't work. But, Ali Greymond has probably said the first thing that might help in her book, How to Get Over OCD. I just read it recently. And I like it. But don't know how you use the advice for everything that is OCD, so I posted about that. Her book is good. I like it. She thinks that you should trust yourself, or at least, tell yourself you trust yourself. That's good advice. That might work for you too. That's only part of what she said to say to yourself. I don't have it all memorized,band I'm afraid it could become like OCD, cause I'd probably use it like an OCD replacement. Maybe. But read that book. And maybe do what it says. It's good advice.

With OCD, I have to tell you I didn't mean to say band. I meant to say and.

When I probably was experiencing this, a preacher or someone prayed for me, and it seemed to help.

It seems like I have this main type of OCD, which I keep thinking might be scrupulosity, because one reason, a big reason, I say my OCD sentences is because I don't want to lie. And I have other types of OCD sometimes, but maybe not as much as this one type. And there are things I say over and over to God, like, a way to end my prayers and ask for forgiveness when I do. I basically pray in Jesus name and ask for forgiveness of my sins, cause I have a problem with doubting my salvation. And the way I end the prayer is repetitive, like OCD.

You know, I may still get some thoughts, that aren't me, and I think, like, That's not me thinking that. I'm not really thinking that way. I might tell God that's not me. I don't know exactly what I say.  I'm telling you basically what I think or say. I don't like to quote. Anyway, I've learned to kind of ignore those thoughts, depending on what the topic is, maybe, and I have learned that's not me. That's OCD. So, I kind of learned to ignore those thoughts.

I just realized I probably ought to ignore whatever makes me say my OCD sentences. I worry about getting everything right, which means telling the truth or getting everything correct, meaning true. One of my sentences is, I hope I got everything right enough. The OCD sentences stuff has even got into texting. It used not to be. I'm wishing I could say something obsessive compulsive now, but I am determined not to say my usual OCD stuff in text now, which is different than talking. Just kind of different. But same too. And for me to say I wish I could say my OCD sentences or whatever I just said to you, is like an OCD replacement. That's what I call it. I think that's what it is. A replacement for my OCD sentences. That's how my sentences change over the years. By replacing them or something. I've said one thing a long time ago and came back to saying it again. Cause I tried to replace what I said, and I still have it replaced. I just have both of those things to say now and another thing. And some other stuff was replaced then that I don't say now.

There are other thoughts that I've needed to ignore not so long ago and still, I think, but I've kind of ignored them, and I think they've gotten better. Maybe. Well, I still need to ignore something. But I think one thing has improved. They are similar things. My repetitive OCD sentences aren't the only kind of OCD I have now. But it kind of seems like they are my only thing, because they are my main problem with OCD. Or maybe the only OCD that bothers me or bothers me the most. I did say main problem with OCD.
