The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this! Harm OCD is a very common obsessive theme. Are you currently getting any help for dealing with your OCD (for example, medication or therapy) or have you in the past?
Thank you for your response! I am currently on medication and in therapy but just wondering other’s experience .
I haven't personally had these exact thoughts (though I have had POCD, which is also terrifying), but it sounds very much like something OCD would come up with! If you are interested in getting more experiences/advice from people with OCD, a good support group on Facebook is "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders." I know that some of the members on there have struggled with Harm OCD, and may be able to offer some feedback. Is your therapist using ERP to treat your OCD, or some other type of therapy?
