It seems that I’m posting a lot here, but that’s because I’m worrying a lot. Being a teenager isn’t easy...
I have always loved dogs. I own a very cute Shi Tzu. I am disgusted when I hear about a dog being abused. However, recently, I’ve had an intrusive thought about harming him. While thinking about it, I suddenly felt that I liked it when dogs were abused and killed. I felt PLEASURE from that. Then I started having horrible “fantasies” where I killed dogs. I would say this was an intrusive thought, but I feel pleasure from these thoughts, which scares me. Could it be because I just enjoy violent things? Could it be the same reason behind why I had the other violent fantasies? Could it just be my OCD tricking me (if so, this is very realistic). Please help! |

Yes, this is your OCD. Have you heard of Pure O? It is a type of OCD that doesn't include the compulsions but more the obsessive intrusive thoughts.
I have had similar intrusive thoughts before. I would never harm anyone, least of all my dogs, but it is disturbing when these thoughts keep coming into your head. Do you have a therapist you can discuss this with? They are really the only person who is going to be able to help you manage the intrusive thoughts. Seesaw

Ya, these feel like egodistonic thoughts. I’ve been viewing more and more violent horror films. I seem to enjoy violence. Could the “pleasure” I feel have something to do with this?

I've been around animals most of my life. Love them. Would never hurt them.
I used to have a random thought or two about harming dogs. Over the past three years, whenever I saw a picture of an animal, ex. bag of dog food, I would think of violently harming them. Within the past few months, not only thoughts, but a strong compulsion to kill my cat. Doctor put me on Rexulti, 2 months ago, and so far no compulsions about my cat. Fingers crossed. |

The thing is, is that everybody has pleasure thoughts that are bad. Dont you look to see if you can see a car accident victim when passing? Or find serial killers interesting. Ocd just takes stuff like that and runs with it.
