Please help!!! Very confused

[ajrov]

I have been having terrible thoughts about harming my girlfriend. I'm pretty sure it has to do with anxiety. It bothers me though because I don't know exactly what anxiety is. My therapist told me that it's anxiety but I'm not sure. Can someone please give me an idea of what anxiety is after an unpleasant thought just so I can feel a little bit better.

I have the same violent thoughts. It's terrible. I was told its anxiety too (OCD). When I get them I get shaky and my heart starts to race. Sometimes I cry.
