Harm OCD is a subtype featuring unwanted, intrusive, and violent thoughts or fears about hurting yourself or others.
With Harm OCD you might:
Drive over a speedbump and question if it was indeed a speedbump. What if it was actually a person?
You might live in a high-rise building and be terrified of falling out the window. It could be a fear of sleepwalking and causing harm during sleep.
You might be terrified of public transport every day on the morning commute. What if I get pushed in front of a moving tram? Or what if I push someone?
It’s not that you want to, it’s that you worry it might happen. And it can be worrying about future incidents, or replaying past events.
Behind every short story is a real lived experience shared by a reader on the OCD Log. The stories are fictionalised to protect privacy while reflecting those experiences.
