I'm told that its common for people with OCD to frequently have obsessive thoughts about harming others, such as the people they're closest to, which obviously terrifies them.
I don't have those but I tend to have explicit and detailed thoughts of harming myself. I don't catch them until they've progressed enough that I am seeing exactly what I'd like to do in the forefront of my mind. I see it and then sometimes am compelled to do it only because I'm curious as to whether it would actually look like what I'm seeing in my head.
I realize that this isn't normal but is it even slightly more common in OCD "patients."
