Afraid of.. becoming a criminal? (Harm OCD)

I bet my harm OCD plays a role.
I non stop fear doing something bad. And when I see articles connected to horrible things, illegal, or other stuff - it’s very triggering for me.

Who else have a fear of jails or doing something bad?

My Undiagnosed Sz - had me locked up in prison a few times for a few months.

I wasnt even looking for trouble at the time. It was people financially abusing me, and provoking me.

Since being medicated past 8 years, funnily enough i have a good relationship with the law these days :smiley: And stayed out of trouble.

Its why ive got half an ear - and no teeth :stuck_out_tongue:

Ive had that during episodes. Its pretty disturbing to deal with. I bought an ocd workbook that deals with harm ocd and that helped.

I have always been terrified of getting into trouble, so all authority figures make me nervous. I don’t think violent thoughts, though, and I’m very glad for that.

You said a phrase ‘I came from a stars’ in that video.
Goosh… it reminds me on my darkest times. I’ve also was thinking such things: even worse. I fully believed I am a God. :frowning: strange though how diagnosis and medication help for us.

Glad your life is better now, @Naarai

at one point of early paranoia I thought the fbi wanted me for questioning about a head in the trash can I reported. and then asked me why I just had a tub of spaghetti in the trash can? because of an album triggered me to have that vision.

the only thing I really get scared is driving on residential streets looking for little kids…go to prison for killing a child, and rightly so…so be careful driving…otherwise…relax…don’t do it… when you want to freak out.
