Re: Pure o question
Ive had thoughts of harming family/pets and myself... i couldnt pick up a kitchen knife without a thought of killing myself with it....
These thoughts effect you so much, because they are the complete opposite of who you are.... I couldnt harm a fly, let alone family/pets.... the thoughts are so disgusting and scary because its not in our nature....
If you were the type to harm, these thoughts wouldnt scare you, youd enjoy them...
I dont get them now, you have to let them in, rationalise them, tell them, sorry i actually dont want to hurt anyone, i dont want to die, im not interested in these thoughts, they are not who i am, and they are not true....
Remember they are just thoughts, not instructions... no one with OCD has ever acted on the thoughts...
