Hi, lately, I’ve been having disturbing intrusive thoughts about cannibalizing my loved ones. This has scared me a lot. The thing is, I’ve always been curious about cannibalism. I’ve had morbid curiosity about how human flesh tastes like, but I never thought I’d actually have thoughts of eating someone, least of all my loved ones.
I feel like I might actually want to act on the thought. OCD seems to be trying to do this to me. When I suffer from anxiety, my stomach feels weird, and this seems to trick me into thinking I’m hungry. I also have urges about cannibalism. This is really scaring me. It feels like I actually want to eat someone. What if this isn’t an intrusive thought, but an actual desire to eat someone, because of curiosity or hunger?
