Help me figure this out!!!?

I am posting this in 3 forums because I am not sure if this is Depression, OCD, or GAD. I had a severe bout of depression starting around 5-6 months ago. I never really had urges of suicide or hurting myself however. I constantly slept and was very very afraid of sharp objects. I had bad images of attacking loved one's with said objects. Also thoughts of randomly hitting people associated with me. I would go and get no my knees and pray really hard to make it go away. I struggled this deeply for 2 months even having people cut my steak for me and I am 25 years old. I saw a pshyc for 4 visits and mentioned OCD to him but he ruled it out saying that it sounded like moderate Depression. Well needless to say after my last visit with him I no longer had the sadness, or sleepiness and I was motivated once again. However the thoughts of attacking people still lingered in my head. But not people I disliked or who made me angry but the one's I really loved like my wife and family. It has calmed down a whole lot because started to accept that they were there and did not give them fear anymore. I have never even punched someone in my entire life. I am such a peace maker and hate violence so I am not sure why I was having the thoughts. Needless to say I can control them pretty well now...but they are a nuisance and I wish for them to go away. I don't know is this GAD, OCD, or was my doctor right and it is Depression? The reason I ask is because I don't have any symptoms of depression anymore bu those thoughts are still around!! I am puting this in three communities to get the best answers

yeah it dnt mean ur a bad person, coz bad ppl love thoughts of violence whereas ur trying to push urs away. All ppl have violent thoughts but they forget bout them coz they know the thoughts mean nothing. Try not to fight these thoughts, let them flood ur mind and eventually they may decrease as they'll get boring. Remember there's a big difference between thinking and doing something .

Thank you this is so much better then the emotional based comments received in the depression forum. A woman just went overboard with her answer

in my opinion ths is more like gad..had the same pattern of thought before..its not that ur violent or crazy..its the fact that ..losing control and being violent is what u fear..this is what anxiety is..being affraid of the worst thing u can do or become...dont worry though these are just fly-by thoughts which if u realize are not right then its not gonna make u actually do those crazy things..thats the big difference between a bad person and a good person who fears the bad..One doesnt realize the thoughts are bad and  the other does..
hope this helps
