Aren't these thoughts just horrible?
Some would say thoughts of ''kill your mother!'' are beyond OCD - ''You're insane!''.
I'm quite convinced and confident to say it's a symptom of Pure-O. I always get these thoughts and the power and force feels very powerful, as if it could push you into a compulsion, but I remind myself i'm sane, gentle and could not do this, even if I question that!
Just try to think yourself out of that situation, it's ''######6'' awful. I can only be honest but I know how it feels, the most reassuring thing is hearing that you're sane and I do believe you are. I understand you love your brother as I love my family and have said the same kind of things - I've said worse things.. I don't even want to start with what I've said to myself before. Sometimes it feels as though you're experiencing hell on earth, especially when you let your mind wander, exaggerate and purely create.
I think it's normal and you must try not to take them so personally, I feel as though I've almost experimented with so many bad thoughts, beyond what I wish I could've seen or thought of.. It's heart wrenching, anxiety inspiring and extremely awful but it's the drive of this disorder. Sometimes I feel as though Pure-O is worse than extreme depression because it can cause so much mental, sexual and emotional confusion, intense panic and heavy pain to those suffering.
Try thinking positive, remind yourself you're a capable person and you deserve greatness, happiness and pleasure! Entertain your motives and interests instead of thinking obsessing, lose yourself in a book and you'll forget about your thoughts for a period! (Try those suggestions!)
