so im wondering why harm ocd feels like i want to do these things? like i get anxiety when they come in but they feel like urges or like i actually want to do them, not sure if this is a normal part of harm ocd or if i should be concerned. again when i dont have the anxiety i know i would never do these things but for some reason if i get anxiety about the intrusive thoughts i start getting scared i want to do them.

sounds like you are really struggling with this. I highly suggest that you speak with a counselor or therapist so that you can get some support for this. When we talk to a therapist we learn different strategies and how to manage this intrusive thought. It’s very difficult to try and manage alone.
Nobody on this site can really do much and getting reassurance is not enough . you would really benefit from having a plan in place that you could work with the therapist on. Hope you feel better take care .❤

i have been trying but cant find any in my area that have any knowledge on the type of OCD im dealing with, i just dont want to go to someone who isnt aware of what i have and them put me away in a hospital ot take my kids from me, my bf was saying i should go to a psychiatrist and talk to them but idk if they'd be aware of what harm ocd is and id hate to get the wrong diagnosis if that makes sense

Don't worry I had the same thing like a year ago you need to know that these thoughts have nothing to do with you even if they feel like urges that's just ocd trying to trick you and sometimes the thoughts will come without anxiety and you will probably wonder why i'm not feeling anxious about these thoughts maybe I like these thoughts, again that's just ocd playing his games, I recommend you search there are very skilled professional who knows how to deal with ocd like doctor reid wilson sorry if I didn't write his name correctly. Again don't that is very common I went trough it and millions of people go trough it as well.
Best wishes ❤
