I do! It’s so scary. Before I was on my medication I was too scared to go places out of fear of possibly hurting someone

I absolutely used to! Just keep telling yourself it's not you, it's your OCD.

I get intrusive thoughts all the time about this. It’s often random and it’s very frightening. It mostly happens with people I really care about too making it much worse to cope with.

I don't so much anymore but about 9 years ago I was put it in a mental hospital for a bit to get through it in a safe environment. I was truly scared I was gonna hurt someone. Meds helped a lot though.
