I have this weird and scary thing about knives

When ever i’m in the kitchen with someone and knives are around us, i get these thoughts that i’m gonna stab them. I don’t know where these thoughts come from and i wish i didn’t get them everytime. I worry that i’m gonna lose control and stab someone one of these days

Harm OCD?? 1515

Maybe . I came to know about harm ocd. I just wish i knew how to over come it. I’m thinking about going on Seroquel to see if it helps

Intrusive thoughts? I get similar and I’ve definately had ocd type behaviors in the past. The meds do help me.

I get this a lot . Just try and think they’re not what you think. Just disturbances in thinking

I used to get this type of thing more frequently. I mentioned it to the doctor, and I think he said “If it hasn’t happened in the past it will likely not happen.”. It is worrisome.

Maybe say to the person that you need to be alone when the thought comes… sounds like ocd to me. I had it a few times but it never happened. Also on myself, was a neurosis when around razorblades, but nothing happened. I used to lock away knives and blades, especially in bathroom, where I removed scissors and blades, even the tiny scissors and glass objects.

When in a crisis I even knocked tiles of my wall so I had tiles sharp points, but didn’t act through on it except for few scrapes. A crisis can be scary and really don’t want to. So I know my limits and I do prevent myself from hurting myself by storing sharp things away, so that I have to take extra steps to use them. I put knives very far away in my drawer so that I cannot reach them easily. Never put them on the tabletop! hope it helps. Neurosis can be bad…and frightening.
