OCD: Scared of Intrusive Thoughts and Intrusive Impulses?

Hi!

Lately my OCD and Anxiety have been through the roof. I have been fixated on one particular intrusive thought of causing harm: And this thought I can say is one of the worse ones out of the bunch.

I've become so afraid of these thoughts that I feel like they are going to turn into insane impulses.

My little brother who has potentially has Bipolar, has impulse control problems, but I fear that I have those same symptoms as well.

I'm so scared that I'm going to turn insane and do something I don't want to do. I'm currently taking Ativan 1mg that I was prescribed at, at the ER. And formerly on Prozac and Hydroxozine.

Is there anyway I can stop these thoughts until I can find therapy?

Thank you!
