In the past few days it has gotten worse. I know I won’t act on it but the thoughts alone are enough. Anyone else have them?
i got them really bad a couple months ago. i went to the hospital. the reason i got them so bad is because i was off my meds. now that i am on my meds the thoughts rarely cross my mind, but they still do. i dont get worked up over it. i know i wont act on them
I think im stressed out a little. I just started college again.
Yes, yes, yes.
Its difficult and I wish I could offer more advice,
But I struggle with it everyday too.
CBT really helped with a lot of my intrusive thoughts and OCD, but these ultra violent/hyper sexual fantasies remain.
I have days that are much worse, but they seem to be in line with my cycle/periods like most other symptoms,
From context, I believe you are male, so probably not the case for you,
But sometimes symptoms do that,
They come in sort of waves.
Hang in there, man.
Try to keep distracted, and get some exercise, it always helps me.

Sorry! I thought you were someone else, I really don’t know.
Doesn’t matter 
Do you guys tell your doctor’s when you have these thoughts? I’m always afraid if I tell them they’ll put me on a hold.
Ditto.
They always ask if you feel like hurting yourself or others,
In my mind, I’m like “ALWAYS”,
But you can’t say that.
Last time I was honest about my symptoms, I was stuck in the hospital for three weeks.
No dice.

I am female. Mine is just from yellers and gossips.
Do you feel like its possible that your symptoms are getting worse due to your cycle?
It happens to me sometimes.
I don’t understand, what does that mean?
In the mid 90’s, I used to get homicidal thoughts and suicidal thoughts together. I haven’t had homicidal thoughts for many years.
I don’t mind having them because I only have them about people who have hurt me in the past.
It is unsettling having them about my family though because I do love them still.
People who call me names and talk ■■■■ about me who don’t even know me.
I’ve only ever hurt myself, and my companion angel only ever tells me to hurt/ kill myself. I have very specific homicidal thoughts about my ex. They are my thoughts driven by a desire for justice. I can let go of his having abused me, but he abused our son and I would love to kill him for that. I know for certain that if I was given the opportunity to kill him I would. But I won’t buy a gun and I won’t seek contact with that pathetic monster. But it plays in my head like a soothing melody…if only.
I too have an ex that if the opportunity arised I would take it.
