a few days ago i was on this forum looking at the past posts, and someone said they follow through their urges and hurt people and the reply was it is not OCD bus OCPD (obsessive-compulsive personality disorder) and i just got all worred... what if i am OCPD and not OCD, what if i will follow through my thoughts and hurt something, what f i am a bad person.
how can i tell i'm not OCPD and i'm not a bad person, all these thoughts are going to be the end of me.
i want to go home

That's not true, OCPD is perfectionism and so forth. Unlike OCD, people with OCPD feel like this just part of their personality, the way they are.
If you have OCD or OCPD, I'm pretty sure you will never hurt anyone. If you care about other people, and have empathy for them, you'll have to fall pretty far before you hurt someone.
