Do you struggle with Harm OCD? What does it look like for you? 👍🏻

@luannie02 4 года назад

I struggle with harm and self harm and one of my exposures is to point knive at myself and think I probably harm myself. Also, I did the knive with my husband looking at me.

@luannie02 4 года назад

Also I have real life ocd can you do a video on that.

@ocdandanxiety 4 года назад

I have this on my list to create soon! 🤪

@ocdandanxiety 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing. These are pretty common types of exposures many individuals do. I hope things get better for you! 👍🏻

@joefidell4068 4 года назад

Mine latches on to whatever situation I'm in. Say if my parents went to sleep and I'm the only one up, I will get intrusive thoughts about killing them in their sleep. Or when I'm with my dogs, thoughts about hurting them. Then I instantly google things for reassurance.

@TheMikeGemini 3 года назад

I’ve had this everyday 24 hours a day for 2 months straight. It was the worst feeling ever. I would wake up in the morning and have the urge to sucker punch anyone I came in contact with. It made me feel like I was going to murder my family and friends. These thoughts brought on daily Panic Attacks and heavy anxiety. It got to a point where it was so intense that I checked myself into the hospital psych ward. I had to take Anti Anxiety medicine which helped to a certain degree but didn’t really stop the intrusive thoughts. After finding this video it was a huge relief knowing that I wasn’t the only person going through this! But that didn’t really help the harmful thoughts either. A big part of helping relieve these thoughts is to treat them as if they aren’t dangerous. Pay it no mind. It’ll eventually fade away. I woke up one morning and felt amazing! No harmful thoughts! The one thing that was on my mind was wondering when the harmful thoughts will come back. I still have that thought of wondering when it’ll come back but you gotta remember to enjoy today! Don’t worry about if or when the thoughts will come back. Enjoy being free of those harmful thoughts! I’m still seeing a therapist once a week to talk and to find more tools to help make sure these harmful thoughts stay way PERMANENTLY! I love you all! You WILL beat this. You WILL get better!

There is a HUGE difference between sociopath - psychopath and people with OCD. Psychopath and sociopath NEVER feel GUILT, they do not have empathy, so they don't really care about hurt somebody. IF you FEAR harm somebody, shows that you care, you have empathy. So you just need look for help with some good OCD therapist.

@wolfcry087 2 года назад

The moment I started watching this video, I got uneasy because I instantly noticed the scissors and knife in the background. Those are two of the main triggers that cause these types of thoughts to swarm me. If I see one, and especially if I pick one up, my mind instantly thinks to harm myself or someone else, and then I stress about why the hell I thought such a thing because I don't want to. Sometimes I can ignore it and continue on, and other times it gets to the point where I need to put them down or give them to someone else because I feel like my body will go through with the urge to harm. I don't even need an object for it, sometimes I just see a family member walking and my mind instantly urges me to harm them. I don't want to, I'm not trying to, but my mind repeatedly tells me to push or punch or hit them, and so I'll end up really trying to ignore it and act normal or trying to stay away from them. I didn’t know this was an OCD sort of thing until just last night, I barely knew much about OCD beforehand so I started doing research on it and found that I related to a good chunk of OCD symptoms. The harmful intrusive thoughts are one of them. I always thought I was off or horrible in some way for thinking these things, but at the same time I also didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary, like maybe other people think the same things... Nope! At least not to this extent they don't. I'm honestly scared about opening up to my parents about this, I told my partner and my sister about this thing I feel, but not them yet... 😬

@user-re7po 4 года назад

@harmonyholmes6739 4 года назад

I feel the same way, its hard to talk about or get help for when you aren't sure if people will understand. It's okay to face this alone if that's what is comfortable for you. I've tried to explain it to people and no one has really understood. It'll get better for you, you aren't what your thoughts make you out to be.

Suddenly it came all those intrusive thoughts, like hurting others or even hurting my self. O my it gives me a lot of fear in my mind that what if i did that thoughts! I always feel nervous when it attacks me, i can't even fall a sleep. So i decided to go back to my country and find another job here. Without even knowing i almost forgot and they don't even comes in my mind those thoughts. And now i'm suffering again with those intrusive thoughts, because i decided to go back and work abroad.

OmanXer. I used to have harm ocd. I remember plucking my mom’s eyebrows and I had this strong urge or intrusive thought to stab my mom’s eyes with the eyebrow plucker. This scared the crap out of me because I love my mom very dearly. The urges and thoughts kept getting stronger the more I fight it in my mind. It got really bad that I had to go to the bathroom toilet and try to vomit these urges out of my system. This was when I was attending college as a first year student. That same year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia from my primary doctor due to stress I was having in college. Luckily, my harm ocd just disappeared as I continually plucked my mom’s eyebrows and tried to ignore these urges and thoughts. So I kind of did ERP without me knowing it. Hope this helps you see that these intrusive thoughts and urges aren’t you. If it’s causing you great distress than it goes against your inner values and morals, as well as who you are as a person.

@@omanxer7275 Your welcome. I highly recommend that you should watch Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz ‘You are not your brain’. He’s a psychiatrist that studies the human brain for many years. He explains how the ocd brain has an overreacting brain on the orbital prefrontal cortex. By following his four steps, you can rewire how your brain functions (neuroplasticity). He also shows research evidence with real patients having good results. A RU-vidr from Mind that Seeks Truth recommended me to watch Dr. Jeffrey’s videos and emphasized that the reason why we have these intrusive thoughts is because we have a malfunction caudate nucleus. The part of the brain that filters intrusive thoughts from important thoughts. Anyway, hope these advice helps you tremendously.

I'm smoking now an it seems to help but Im trying something now I meditate an force myself to see these things I even add to it, an it dose seem to be less an less important.
