Does this happen to anyone else?

[lmontParticipant]

I have had ocd on and off for the last 20 years but for the last 2-3 years there have been actions as well as thought. They come in like a flash and are so hard to accept. These go along the themes of harm and ocd. One example is this morning at work and I was passing someone a soft ball. I deliberately stuck my nails into it with intent to harm. Worried it wasn’t the ball and actually the person. Anyone else experience this as I feel so alone??
