I relate to this soooo much. Especially when ur doing better and there isnât anxiety with those suicidal thoughts so u think that they must be real. Itâs so hard but I try to remind myself that these intrusive thoughts go against my values and I wouldnât act on it.
You ainât ever lied!
Thatâs a great question that I wish too I had the answers to. This is what Iâve dealt with for 20+ years. Itâs awful and my therapist says âWell theyâre just thoughts, just like hey that plant is green.â Iâm like yeah I wish it was that easy
And then⊠you start questioning your values and so you might actually do it??? OCD IS SO TIRING.
We got this tho, your not alone đȘ
Feel the same. Feels real. My intrusive thoughts develop themselves to other places all the time. Itâs so hard
Going through this right now !!
How are you guys doing now? đ„ș
With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
Does anyone elseâs OCD convince them that bad thoughts are not actually that badâŠ. Like I know they are so why do I feel like they arentđđ
Hey yâall. I have suicidal OCD and I feel that it manifests in a strange way. I feel like my brain often encourages me to kill myself. Like my most dominant thought isnât âwhat if you kill yourselfâ, itâs âyou should kill yourself.â It tends to amp up every time I make some mistake, even if itâs small. And it definitely gets worse during times of stress. I donât want to kill myself and I wouldnât consider myself depressed. But if these thoughts are OCD, and are my brain trying to keep me safe from killing myself, why would it tell me to? Iâd appreciate any insight.
