Socially inappropriate thoughts

Are those intrusive thoughts? They improved a lot since being on meds but they’re still in the background. Its traumatizing thoughts like raping my mother or my little cousin, stabbing myself, jumping from a high building, throwing myself infront of a car in motion, stopping my meds, etc I hate these thoughts. I think I read some users here experience these too like killing their mother, etc

I wonder if OCD meds can totally suppress them?

I did really bad inappropriate stuff off meds but my stupid mind keep telling me to stop my meds. Feels like the devil is inside my brain.

I consider these intrusive thoughts I get them too but with religious things or things that just bother me I also have intrusive laughter in my head over inappropriate things I treat it as a different person not me and tell it to screw off

I used to be plagued by terrible thoughts like these. Its sickening. And it made me feel guilty all though I never done any thing wrong. I was a mess with guilt. So I know how you must feel. All I can say is they are just thoughts and you haven’t actually done these things, nor would you. I don’t know what part of my medicine helps me to be free of intrusive thoughts but I take Saphris, Rexulti, Topamax and Cymbalta.

Maria Bamford is a bipolar comedian with violent ocd thoughts. She talks about it here and her treatment.

Edit: if you click the thread you can see the audio link in the comments.

I am buying 5htp for OCD as I read increasing serotonin fixes ocd. Not as strong as ocd SSRIs meds but I will start with that.

I’d seriously start with talking to your doctor. It’s exactly like Maria Bamford described. Psychiatrists have heard it all before.

Don’t play doctor with yourself.

Been having these sort of thoughts for years. Took OCD meds and they helped control them a little…they won’t disappear entirely. Trying to completely stop them makes it worse, just try to replace them with other thoughts.

i take sertraline for it and also for depression. It helps but it doesn’t completely cure it though…
