Bad thoughts?

I know with OCD theres alot of real common fears such as fear of knives or hitting someone with a car as well as other horrible things. But does anyone have fear of cannibalism? I get these thoughts of it and it greatly disgusts me. I also get thoughts when I'm eating anything with meat that its from a person or something like the that red sauce or ketchup is blood. It really really grosses me out and I hate getting those thoughts. Anyone had similar thoughts?
 
Not to the point of being really troublesome, but I did tend to think of the meat as the animal I was actually eating. That wasn't really obsessive in the same sense though, as I often used it as an intentional self-confrontation to avoid hypocracy. Although it's sort of a compulsive avoidance, going vego might be a simple solution to that one. It's more environmentally sustainable in any case, so as long as you maintain a balanced diet, it's not a bad life option. Purely a matter of choice, but if meat's really bothering you and you don't enjoy it - why eat it?

If you do stop eating meat though, replace it with other stuff in your diet, or you'll end up all aenimic and mineral deprived, which could also worsen prexisting psychological problems.

If vego's not an option, just eat the meat, and accept the possibilities. Anything's vaguely possible: ocd can just make vague horrific possibilities seem a lot more significant than they really are

Thanks dude. I love eating beef, chicken, pork, fish. Its just sometimes when I'm eating the stuff I get this gross thought that its not an animal and like I said before I'll think something like the red sauce or ketchup is blood, which obviously it isn't. And then I just get gross thoughts about cannibal stuff. Like about who ever that sicko guy was that ate people. That stuff grosses me out soooo much. Maybe thats why my OCD is annoying me with it.

But It'd be nice to know if someone else has these thoughts. Because they're gross and it'd be nice to know its just an ocd thing.

ya i have bad thoughts and they are related to this strangely. I am afraid of driving because i am afraid I am just going to have an non suppressable urge to drive into a pole.

more pressingly i at one point of time couldn't stop thinking about mass murdes and piles of dead bodies everywhere, i saw dead bodies and it was crazy. i thought i was going to kill a bunch of people, so i became a vegitarian for 14 months beause i thought if i showed compassion to animals then i would by default be better at showing them to people, and then not kill them, even though i know i am not going to kill people. But i stopped being a vegitarian a month ago because io thought that i wasn't getting a lot of protein and that it was leading to depression and stuff.

So i guess i get a lot of strange notions and then act on them, because none of those things are related now that i write them down, mass murders aren't linked to vegitarianism, and vegitarianism isn't related to depression

I've had those bad thoughts about dead people alot. It grosses me out so much. I get all these horrible thoughts about death all the time and I hate it. And it scares the crap out of me that there are criminals that commit nasty crimes and I wonder whats the difference?
I've googled so much stuff and only found about two things talking about someone with OCD having thoughts about cannibalism. If anyone read this that has those thoughts please let me know. Its really freaking me out.

you mentioned you got thoughts of murders and masses of dead bodies, I got that too, and whenevr i walked my mind would think what would be a good place to put a body. I contemplated vegetarianism and being kind to everything. I decided. If i eat th meat or not, it is still going to be in the markets, But as for being kind of animals, i am. and i don't even kill flies in ym house anymore. i just shoo thm out.
All except the cockroach, because if i sho it out it will come right back in.
