I'm scared that I'm going to become a physcopath/ mentally ill ?

Hi I am a young female and I have aniexty/depression (self-diagnosed)
I worry about things constantly but recently I'm starting to worry about hearing voices that will tell me to do violent things. I've read books about physcopaths and now I'm scared that I'm going to become one. I'm scared that I will hurt someone I love, I would never want to hurt them. Though i think about it. Everytime one of thoughts come into mind I immediately try to take it out of my mind, but I can't. The thoughts won't go away. I'm scared that I'm going to be put In a mental institution and never see my family again. Please help me I don't want to think about hurting people I love and I'm scared that I might in the future. (P.s. Remember I don't want to hurt anybody but my mind keeps making me think about about it even though I don't want to think about) please give me real advice and no rude comments please.

Do you have a psychologist to talk this out with?  If not, you should think about getting one soon.  They have the qualification to diagnose you and recommend proper treatment.  I don't think, as was noted above, that this describes OCD, which is something different, but if as you say you're hearing voices it's time to see a professional.  Good luck.

hello ni am sorry u are going through this i myself suffer from   anxiety,social anxiety, personality disorder, poss. deprest. i think that u should most def. go admit yourself for further test, watching. there is nothing wrong with that. u are more noble for wanting to get help and noticing these out of normal symptoms. hope you are ok, but if there is something going on it is ok. there are meds that can help you. i started taking meds and after trial and error on a lot of different meds..we came up with the rt combination so far{ me and my doctor} just please dont think this will end you. your family should be there for u. im sorry ...i dont knw u home life, but i cant see parents not being there no matter what for there child

I can't formally diagnose you on the forum, only a psychologist can do that, but it sounds like you have OCD that is causing anxiety.  You may want to pop on over to the OCD forum and post your question there.  I will have more time to answer in a while on the other forum.  JGF
