dont worry, its a form of OCD , seeing a doctor for further assesment would be good, just so your informed about whats going on.

this is a form of ocd called pure o, it s when u get reaccurringthoughts of harming yaself n others these thoughts come out of the blue and have no meaning beacuse they are not true of how u feel , which in turn make su feel anxious and depressed or can do .

i suffer this and my sister too i also know about 3 other people with this,,,,its real **** ,
my doc say s these thoughts are a form of ocd and is quite common more so than we know!

talk to someone u trust about this and research ocd , it may help u feel at comfort to know ya not alone , i still struggle now at times.

good luck and keep smiling .

It does sound like a form of OCD.  I have OCD myself, but another form.  I have read much on the topic and thoughts of hurting others and/or yourself......while knowing you would never do such a thing, is a sign of OCD.  

I bet it feels like you have two parts of your brain that are fighting with each other.  If it persists and is causing you depression and/or anxiety, get some help.  OCD is not fun and having to deal with it on your own makes it worse.
