Put “what if?” In front of the thoughts. Thats all it is is a question, it doesn’t have intention or desire. 😉 dont engage with it or argue. Its only a thought that you put too much weight on. Remember, everyone has intrusive thoughts! Even really, really weird things, but they don’t pay attention to it and it disappears.

i had this when i was 12 yrs old (i’m almost 19 for reference) eventually you learn to separate your true feelings from what ocd is making you think you feel. it does get easy and you realize at the end of the day you have the final say so, ocd can’t make you do anything that you don’t want

I’m serious, though, you really have to accept the fact that it’s not real, but on the other side, you have to accept that you have a mental illness. Our brains are physically different than a normal person. Have you ever noticed when you’re not thinking about anything at all and you’re just being yourself that none of this crap really bothers you? But if you have too much time to think then it bothers you? It’s a small problem that appears big. It’s not a big problem, it just appears big. It’s all an illusion. It’s just a trick your mind place makes it more real. Is the fact that it’s possible that’s it.

@Evoorhee And let’s face it in this world anything as possible so this is a lose lose situation for us. The key is to not engage.

this was so me before i even knew i had ocd!! obvi i didn’t rlly know what was going on but i was so so so scared. things i did that helped me move on from it were journalling thoughts which helped me gain objectivity. i also had some accidental exposures(?) when i had a call w my doctor who suggested that j might have a real problem/watching a film w a suicide scene, and both of them gave me a panic attack haha but afterwards i felt a lot calmer bc of how upset id been at the idea of it happening? but honestly it’s been 3 years and i thought id never move on from it but i absolutely have so im so so sure you’ll be okay :)))

HELP!! Suicide trigger warning
Hey guys, I recently was diagnosed with OCD and it started with health, then false memory/real event, the career doubt, and incest, and now the worst of them all pOCD. I have no will to live and want to die every waking minute. Pray to god every night that I have a stroke or something in my sleep because these thoughts are so gross but i can’t stop thinking about them, and it’s my mind convincing myself that like it when I know I don’t, it’s so hard and if I don’t figure this out i don’t know how much longer I will last

Recovery stories please!!
Please share your stories! I have really bad real event, false memory and POCD. I’m struggling a lot right now feeling undeserving, feeling like everything I’ve ever done in my life was meticulously calculated. Funny thing about OCD is even if I see someone do something way worse than me, it won’t phase me unless I’d done it. For example, something minor I did that really could mean nothing, my OCD convinces me it proves my ocd right. In light of the disordered times, I’d like to ask for someone to share their ocd recovery story, maybe some tips and how they did it. It’s feeling pretty impossible for me right now. Thank you!

My story! Please give advice
Hey everyone. Long post, but just want some advice. I’ve had suicidal ocd, with some relationship & existential on the side lol, for about a year and a half. My suicidal ocd is pretty severe. I did a small amount of erp for a month or two, but then took a break. Last week I started an IOP program. I also take 10 mg of Prozac, and have for about 5 weeks. The first week of IOP was great. This week I have went downhill and feel like my ‘old ocd self’ again meaning heavily ruminating and seeking reassurance. My exposure today was standing near train tracks. It made me sad, and scared. I didn’t want to do it. I keep ruminating. I am absolutely terrified I will not get better. I’m scared I will get depressed and think life is not worth it. Thoughts constantly run through my head. I want to be here so bad, but I’m scared I am going to give up. I constantly worry I won’t be “happy” long term and I won’t recover. Can anyone give me some hope? I am scared I’m a lost caus. Any recovery stories? I’ve never had depression and I’m feeling a bit worried about myself from feeling tired and sad. I don’t know many people with suicidal ocd- I just want to know I can recover. Thanks for reading!
