I have intrusive thoughts where I am scared I could lose control and do something bad. I have never acted on these thoughts. The drs say this happens to people who would never do anything. That’s what makes the thoughts harmful. If you would be inclined to do some of this stuff it wouldn’t bother you. If you have any other questions or just need support I’m always here.

Hello I have heard something related with your symptomatology. Well my therapist calls it OCD of damage.

Hello, I am a college student who has responsibility OCD right now—I have gone through many types including what I believe your daughter is. I am also looking for people to have discussions with and would love to chat with whomever.

Education is a great place to start. It won't stop the thoughts, but it can lessen them some. Someone who specializes in anxiety disorders and OCD Is probably your best bet.

I in the past had intrusive thoughts about hurting myself and others. Which is very scary and makes someone feel very alone. I am here to answer any questions 😊

How did you deal with the intrusive thoughts of hurting yourself or someone?

About 3 years. They only stopped after I started my latest medication. Which is Venlafaxine.

Not what you're looking for?
