Step back from your intrusive thoughts, instead of being caught up in them - observe them. I like to see my thoughts in a bubble and watch them pass and float away.
Hospitals will lock you up and people get all worried when you say you are having thoughts like this because they rarely understand that it IS just a thought and you are VERY unlikely to act on it (if it is OCD). If I went to hospital every time I had one I would never be able to leave and I am so thankful I have a team now who realise these thoughts do not mean I will become violent.
I understand how scary it is, my intrusive thoughts were telling me to throw a child off a 2nd story balcony the other day. That really upset me - and still does as I NEVER want to do that. But it is an intrusive thought, that is how they work. They single out the worst possible thing that could come to mind and make you have urges to do it.
You will need to wait a few weeks to let the effects of the weed wear off. If they are still that bad, then see your pdoc and think about meds. But honestly no meds have been able to stop them for me.
Meditation has helped somewhat and just seeing them for what they are and letting them go has been most beneficial.

I'm scared man
Yesterday I woke up feeling okay , I kept on telling myself when I was having intrusive thoughts about saying something inappropriate to someone " I accept that I do not accept these thoughts "
And it helped me a little bit
I live with my roomate his wife and kid, and our other guy friend
I went to take a shower
Then went to the kitchen
What bothers me about there kitchen is they leave the cleaning chemicals on top of there fridge
I made a sandwich and got a cup of milk
The cleaning chemicals on top of there fridge has triggered the scary thoughts that I poisoned milk and food in the fridge
It's terrible thoughts
So all of a sudden I was having thoughts in my head after I finished eating that I poisoned food and drinks in the fridge
It was terrible mentally for me yesterday and today also
I kept on telling myself I would not do that
I kept on telling myself I have no memory whatsoever of ever touching any of the cleaning chemicals on top of the fridge
I feel awful cause of these thoughts
And I just would never do anything like that
It's terrible how these thoughts come in and destroy the mind and body cause u see cleaning products
I have a feeling that if there weren't any cleaning products on there fridge I wouldn't even have these thoughts
I know I didnt do anything like this to our food and drinks
I've been thinking about moving out cause I've been feeling terrible lately
I wanna move back with my mom and dad
But now these thoughts have manifested to " what if I poison food and drinks at my parents house"
It's like I'm scared of going back to my parents house now cause of this
And I love my parents so much
I never wanna hurt anyone , and I never want to hurt my parents
It's soooo scary that I have these thoughts and it's the fear that since
I'm obsessing and having thoughts about being at my parents house and poisoning food and drinks there that it might or will happen
I'm so scared
I'm thinking about going to a mental hospital
