I do not suffer from harm ocd and never have but have suffered other types. Try and do this. Separate you from your ocd. Look deep within you. Would you ever really harm someone? Of course not. People who harm others are not afraid that they will. They have a deep down drive or just lack of care for others. The reason you fear harming others is because you never actually would. You are fearing becoming the opposite of what you are. Fear of losing control. Ocd can only do one thing. Make you scared. Even when someone is hypnotized they would never do anything that would go against their morals or beliefs. Nobody can be forced to do anything even someone with ocd. Split yourself into 2. Imagine you are sitting in a chair. The ocd "you" is sitting across from you. Sitting over their telling you what you are going to do and did. If you were sitting in a crowded place and some random dude across the room started telling you what you are going to do or what you did he would look like a complete creep. He would look insane and just plain annoying. He knows nothing about you and is just trying to be a jerk. Nothing better to do then drive you crazy. Get up and walk away. Tell him off. He does not have the right to sit there and attack you for nothing. Imagine that they guy was your ocd. Think of your ocd like that. Do not attach yourself to it. Our brains are very creative and make us feel that crazy things are actually real when they are not. If a long time friend of your who you knew was completely innocent and would never hurt a fly came up to you and started freaking out about fearing they would or did hurt someone, what would you tell them? How does that look to you? You know they cant all of a sudden turn into some crazy criminal right? That friend is you. Just do everything you can to separate the ocd from you! Don't let it identify you! We have wild thoughts and that's all they are, thoughts. They can do no harm. We just tend to use all our brain power on silly things like this! Create wild stories in our head!

that makes sense thank you. I have harm ocd and the last few days its been acting up. it's been making me feel like I am going to act on my thoughts, which these thoughts have been tormenting me every since my trauma in 2012, before then these thoughts were never this bad.

I learned that ocd tends to feed off high stress situations, well three things I have going on: my past trauma, I just got a job which I start tomorrow, and i'm in the process of moving. I learned that hormones play a role in ocd too. does anyone have harm ocd that can help me?
