Hi, I have been having intrusive thoughts for about 1 year now, but not from the aspect of myself carrying out the acts that fill my mind with worry. My anxiety / worries are about a family member doing acts of a sexual nature against other family members

Is this a characteristic of OCD intrusive thoughts? I have read about when you worry that you yourself will carry out certain behaviours, but read nothing about when you worry about a family member possibly carrying out these behaviours.

I know when I am in a good place that these worries I have are totally ridiculous and that he would never hurt anyone but I still can't stop these thoughts coming into my head. I can go for weeks at a time when it doesn't cross my mind then randomly I will get anxiety and worry that bad things are going to happen. It wi spiral out of control in my mind to the point of thinking he will end up in jail and that all of our lives will be basically ruined and that we have no future as a family / everything is destroyed because of it. I'm not 100% but I'm sure it is linked to my hormones which I have trouble with anyway but the doctors won't listen so have given up trying to get help to balance them out!

Sorry I'm not very good at explaining things but hopeful this makes sense
I wish it would stop / go away!
