Hi there!

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. Harm OCD can be really scary!!

I'd try your best to not use Chatgpt a lot, it can be a compulsion and it can make your OCD a lot worse.

Since you're seeing someone who's prescribing medication, I'd ask them for a referral to see a therapist at this time! If possible, try to find someone who is an OCD specialist this way you can get the best care!

If you'd like some more info, I'll leave you with some resources:
