Not reassurance seeking but is it possible to feel so overwhelmed by your thoughts that you feel like you are going insane š«

I feel the same way, having harm thoughts around the ones that I love and are the closest to me. Feels like you are going insane. This is OCD and you need to fight the compulsions, mine are mostly rumination and over analyzing. Donāt do any compulsions, physical or mental.
Feeling this right now, itās almost like you feel like you need to do something but you donāt know what youāre supposed to be doing, like something is wrong, but you donāt know what, so you donāt know how to fix it
@Anonymous Exactly - I have felt like I need to āthink something all the way throughā and if I donāt, well⦠something bad will happen. Hate it - but true itās obsessions and the best think we can do in the moment is refocus
Yes... feeling like I need to commit myself. I feel like I'm insane right now. I know what you are feeling
Yes! Sometimes so much noise and sounds and images and strings of conversation and radio static and just like so much going on in my head I want to scream ābe quiet!!ā Itās the worse and made me feel like Iām going to lose it.
Oh my gosh yes š it is a terrible feeling and you are not alone
@sunshineandrainbows I feel like I need to go to the psych ward or something
@Anonymous I can tell you right now that it does get better! You arenāt alone in those feelings and yes itās scary but you are most definitely not alone
Yup
@Santo123# I feel like Iām actually going crazy and Iāll lose control
@Anonymous OCD feels as real as it can get. I struggle with harm OCD and have this same fear of losing control. Disregard all thoughts, feelings, sensations over and over again and slowly itāll get better
Iām going through this as well. Itās almost as if youāre not inside your body.
Yes going through it rn
How are you now?
@Lilly2442! A lot better
@Savhatesocd Any advice that helped because I feel the same way you did šš» I have a fear of losing control
Thatās kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just canāt make my mind up about something and Iām using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
I feel like thereās no way out of this. everyday iām anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if itās OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that itās just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking āwhat ifā actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture itāll be like āyeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your goneā LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, āyup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuffā then i panic and canāt even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. iāll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like āNOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourselfā it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind itās always āpeople who want to are the same a day before tooā im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its ātoo muchā do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.
iām having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, iām so convinced iām a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, iām tired of struggling with harm ocd, iām scared that because i have mental health issues iām gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking āhow easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with itā someone help, i donāt feel normal, am i crazy?⦠šši know that with ocd youāre not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be āokayā with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someoneā¦
