question
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, wellā¦ something bad will happen. Hate it - but true itās obsessions and the best think we can do in the moment is refocus

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.

@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

Anyone ever experience this?
Does anyone ever experience this weird thing where ocd makes you feel like āyou would have had no control and done thisā. Like everything you feel and believe would have gone flying out the window and you would have done something you know you donāt want. Especially when a POTENTIALLY real situation could be happening and itās not just the thoughts alone. Your brain is like oh this is real life you really would have done this or that. Driving me crazy.

Different themes in one day
Does anyone that is diagnosed have experience having different themes come up in a day? Itās like I ignored one thought and then my mind comes up with another one until it figures out one that is scary enough for me to ruminate. Does it ever make sense? Like today my intrusive thought was an image of me in the space or falling into space which made me also think - this is non sense! Am I going crazy for having such an unrealistic intrusive thought? And then my psychosis OCD comes to play š« itās EXHAUSTING but Iāve been answering with āmaybe or maybe notā and āI donāt careā which is something I saw someone saying that helps and Iāve been using it. I havenāt started ERP yet but hopefully soon. Just this year this came up and I still catch myself feeling so sad and remembering how I was before this. š
