Because of the thoughts or mentally exhaustion, and got over it?
Because of the thoughts or mentally exhaustion, and got over it?
I was down the dumps for a while with dark thoughts due to OCD and just being so tired of it. Took a long time but eventually pulled out of it. Took it 1 minute at a time
@Anonymous Which theme did you have?
@confused writer Suicidal and harm against my family. Deep down I know I don’t want to die, but ocd and intrusive thoughts keep trying to tell me otherwise. It’s hell on earth, What about you?
@Anonymous Suic!dal. How did u feel better?
@confused writer I had very hard discussions with a psychiatrist and therapist and my family. I switched up my meds and just committed to one day at a time. It is so scary. What are you doing?
@Anonymous Idk. Didn’t start medication yet. Doing therapy and trying to survive each day.
@confused writer Perhaps talk to a psychiatrist, they deal with this stuff all day long and can help you. What are some of your intrusive thoughts?
@Anonymous That I just want to do it. It’s very hard. Gets me very uneasy all day long. And sometimes I just feel like it’s real and I’m going to, and trying not it. What about you?
@confused writer Pretty much the same, it’s horrible and completely takes over life. I am trying really hard not to ruminate on the thoughts and to just let them occur.
@Anonymous What do you take? Does it help you?
@confused writer Luvox and when it really horrible a low does of Klonopin
@Anonymous And it helps?
@confused writer It does! Are you feeling any better today?
@Anonymous Yes. Scared from tomorrow. Hbu?
@confused writer Definitely an improvement from yesterday, I am able to distinguish the thoughts a lot more clearer. Still a lot of work to do, but progress is a good thing!
@Anonymous Yes. Same. But the problem is I still have that want to d!e feeling when I think about it. Idk maybe I’m hard on myself
To this entire group, let’s not dwell on the negative. Let’s try to get up get out and do something positive even something is simple as a walk Anything you love to do? Let’s try to turn the OCD off even if it is for a hour or two OCD don’t run us even though it feels like it. We are the ones giving it control. We are feeding the machine. Well, let’s stop feeding it. Or at least try to.
Me :/
@Hange Did u get over it?
@confused writer Being honest, sometimes it got over, sometimes it’s still here (I’m now in what I think it’s an episode), but I’m not diagnosed so I cant speak so confident about it But, you need to keep going, you need to find a way of surviving, it has helped me a lot I sincerely wish you no more bad days, you can do it! ✨
@Hange What theme do you have?
@confused writer Im not diagnosed but I think I suffer ZOCD and sexual ocd :( I think suffer contamination ocd too but that doesn’t afect me to that point
@confused writer And false memories and real events
@Hange you got this.
@confused writer Thanks! You too!! :D

@In the twilight zone My husband and mom. But I feel like sometimes it’s not enough for me to be happy 🥲🥲
@confused writer What’s going on with your husband and mom?
@confused writer We have to learn what makes us happy again because no one else can do it but us .. unfortunately no one else cares
@In the twilight zone They are great. I’m really struggling with finding what makes me happy those days. Trying my best tho. What theme do you have?

@In the twilight zone Being with friends. Netflix. Being with my husband. Dancing. Content creation.
We are winners
How about you?
Today was just too much. While doing coding, I couldn’t understand one code logic and my brain got completely stuck. I felt like screaming loudly but didn’t want anyone to hear me. Then the milkman brought the milk, so I thought I’ll boil the milk and make some green tea, maybe I’ll feel better. The sugar I was going to use had ants in it a few days ago. I had kept it in sunlight and the ants ran away. Now every day I take out just the amount of sugar I need and lightly clean it, just checking if there’s a dead ant or not. But today I brought the sugar into the light to clean it and ended up just cleaning and cleaning. I saw tiny black dots and started picking them out. When I looked closely at one of them, I felt like it was ant droppings. Then I started cleaning it deeply, probably spent half an hour just cleaning four spoons of sugar. I kept thinking I should just throw it all away. I even imagined myself throwing it away multiple times. My mind was so disturbed but I controlled myself thinking all my effort will be wasted. Then I thought—if one day I’m alone in a jungle, and there’s a dog eating a dead animal, or a dog eating another dead dog, and I haven’t eaten in days—will I try to scare the dog and eat the dead animal? Yes, I would have to. And what if there’s no water to clean it? Still, I would have to eat it out of helplessness. So after all this, I finally relaxed a bit and put the sugar into the milk. And decided that tomorrow I’ll buy new, clean sugar from the shop. I don’t know what all this is... Is this overthinking or am I becoming mentally ill?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?
Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.
