Wow. All I can say is it amazing how many posts I have read regarding the same thoughts I have. I have never been diagnosed with pure o but it runs in the family and I have been battling with intrusive thoughts and panic attacks for a while. I've had everything from blasphemous relgious thoughts to thoughts of harming someone I love. Everytime I think them they totally freak me out. I was starting to get a grip on them and then my dad passed away recently. I'm having the same thoughts all over again and now they are causing me stress again. I just wish I could realize they are just thoughts and it doesn't mean I'm a bad person. I just hate thinking that way.

I just wanted to say that I am sorry that you are going through this. My step son has pure O for four years now and it took meds, and a lot of therapy to realize that he is not a bad person and how to try and handle those thoughts when they come. Perhaps you should see a doctor esp. if it runs in your family? I wish you the best. *hugs*

Thank you so very much. Yes it is very hard and seeing a doc would probably be extremely beneficial for me. The thoughts are the total opposite of the person I really am. I guess that's why I question then so much.
