i am SO relieved to have found this thread. My entire life i've always been the type of person that hates hurting others, and yet for the past few month i've had such intrusive and negative thoughts about hurting people, i dont know why i have them because i really dont want to hurt anyone, and yet the images flow in my head, i also sometimes get paranoid that i'll sleep walk and hurt my family in my sleep (mind you i've never sleep walked, which makes no sense that i'll have this fear) why would i suddenly have these fears? i really dont want to take pills, what else should i do?
