Hi there,

What you are going through sounds very similar to what I experienced when I was 12 years old. I definetly had the fears of hurting people, killing myself, going crazy,etc.etc. When I finally seen a therapist, he had theorized that I was just scaring myslef as a means of survival. My mother had subconsciously passed on this type of mind programming when I was a young child. As an adult I realized that I scared myself because my mother was not assertive enough to bring me back to reality. When I was a child, I definetly needed someone to reassure me that things were going to be okay. But I know what you're going through. Its scary as hell. The intrusive thoughts of something bad happening can really break a person down. But there is hope because after about a year my sanity was restored. The OCD suggestion does sound like a possibility. I'm new to this site but the people on here are very insightful and helpful. Keep reaching out!
