OCD or something worse?

[jayman890]

Hi, since September I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety since having my first panic attack. For the past few weeks though my thoughts have some how changed into these uncontrollable violent thoughts.  Its either revolting images or nasty violent thoughts in my head and it is mainly directly towards my family who I love very much. At first I was scared it was schizophrenia because these ideas seem so foreign and almost like they're not mine. I do believe these thoughts are mine but why can't I stop them? I am a 20 year old male and not a violent person and I have never been in a physical fight in my life. Should I see somebody? Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Yes you should see someone. They can help you stop them. I have these too and it is ocd, nothing worse in my opinion. I hate it as well and I'm working on it in therapy.
