It’s a sub-type of ocd that makes you obsess over the idea that you may have hurt someone or that you will hurt someone. The person experiencing it has no actual desire to be violent but they become convinced that they are an evil dangerous person and have to repetitively reassure themselves compulsively

I’ve been struggling with this for the last year and I’ve pretty much lost my mind over it. I’m not able to experience joy anymore because I’m constantly afraid that i attacked someone even tho there’s no memory of or logic to back it up

Calm down

You couldn't hurt a fly little man

(positively & comforting)

But no that's sounds crazy

Therapy doesn’t help chill you out?

Haven’t dealt with this exact obsession but I’ve had OCD for most of my life so I can sympathize

It’s so cruel because you realize the whole thing is absurd but your mind is kicking and screaming trying to get you to behave as if it’s not

have had ocd for as long as i can remember. what you're describing is pretty common and you could def find some good info on it online.

but to keep it short n simple...you just gotta accept that your mind is generating a gazillion thoughts per second...99.999% of which mean absolutely nothing. they are just simply thoughts. and sometimes your mind can create unpleasant thought(s).

and if you resist having the thought then it will persist and bother you more...you just have to let the thought come and pass just as quickly as it was created.

all this applies even when you're a***yzing and dissecting situations from the past as well. you're mind is still generating those gazillion baseless thoughts
