I have OCD and I also keep having intrusive thoughts about shooting people or myself, told psychiatrist and psychologist, what should I do?
As others have mentioned, you will only become a mass murderer if you decide to kill many people. There is a very important difference between thinking and acting.The truth is, however, that you're also not as harmless and angelic as you would probably like to believe. OCD is often a way of controlling emotions that the individual doesn't want to feel. The reality is that you do feel angry with people and with yourself, and perhaps even hate others or yourself from time to time. This makes you very frightened, because deep down you believe you're not “supposed” to feel such things—perhaps you even believe that “good” people never feel angry or never hate. And it's very important for you to be Good.What if I told you that you are neither good nor bad, and in the end it doesn't matter? Your anger and your hate are important and worth listening to. If you need help listening, feel free to reach out to me.
Horrible intrusive thoughts? OCD?
Having bad thoughts doesn't make you a bad person. Intrusive thoughts are involuntary and you can't help them anymore than you can help thinking about ducks when you see a duck. OCD affects 1 in 50 people, it's not rare, and though they're spoken about less, almost everyone with OCD has distressing an disturbing thoughts. People with OCD who enjoy beating their wives don't have intrusive thoughts about beating their wives, because it wouldn't bother them. Intrusive thoughts usually centre around the thing you hate most. It sucks, but as I said, it's not rare. Many people (including me) are going through the same thing. Don't stress or over analyse these thoughts. Don't let them bother you. The fact that you are letting them bother you could be making them worse. Just ignore it and accept that they are uncontrollable thoughts that don't reflect how you really feel. You won't act on these impulses, simply because you fear it so much. You have never done it before, try to trust in yourself. Fearing you will lose control is common, not just with OCD, but with other anxiety disorders and depression. You won't act on these impulses, you say you hate violence, you sound like a good person. Just forget about these thoughts as much as you can. Don't fight them, just pay no attention to them.
What is the best cure for OCD intrusive thoughts? I have OCD. Please help!!!?
First off keep doing as your doctor tells you and take your medicine everyday as prescribed. If you are going to get off of the medication you be sure and tell him first so he can help you do it correctly. I have suffered from OCD for seventeen years. My OCD was deemed unresponsive to cognitive behavioral therapy a few years ago. I am not a doctor so I am not even going to begin to talk to you about pharmacology, but I can tell you that certain medicines have helped me in the past and have made my life great and tolerable today. I suffer from Scrupulosity of the worst kind and can relate to what you are experiencing also. My best advise to you is get a really good PSYCHIATRIST who specializes in OCD. Remember there is no cure for OCD so stay calm. Just know your unwanted sexual thoughts are not uncommon for someone with OCD.
