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.
@Evoorhee The mental illness part freaks me out I don’t like thinking like that 😣😣
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 :)))
@alicethepalace It took you 3 years?
@Anonymous 25# nope!! this was 3 years ago, it took me a few months to get over that theme:))
I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s 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 it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” 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 it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
I’ve recently been struggling a lot with OCD. I have had OCD for a long time I just didn’t realize it until more recently. About seven months ago I developed panic attacks one day randomly at work. I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the hospital where they told me it was just a panic attack and I assumed I would snap out and be better within a few days. However it didn’t. Here’s where it gets scary, I was staying at my then boyfriends house while dealing with blurry vision, anxiety attacks everyday, and more (unsure of what was going on). But at some point I saw my bfs (pew pew 🔫) on his table and it sent me into an anxiety attack after sudden thoughts that I was going to hurt myself with it. I begged him to put it away when I’m not looking so I didn’t know where he put it. He did. These thoughts lasted for about four days but began to go away. (I thought that was it and I would be back to normal). Unfortunately though I ended up moving back in with my family when we couldn’t get my panic attacks under control in time for me to get back to work and pay bills. However, coming home brought up a lot of trauma from when I was kid. My anxiety got worse but I didn’t have those thoughts again. About two and half months ago though, I got sick and went to the hospital where they gave me steroid pills and a steroid shot but sent me into some kind of psychiatric event. Ever since then though, I have been suffering from harm OCD, I have had moments of intense anger that I usually have to completely walk away and go on my own because of how intense they are, and it feels like it’s getting worse. Today I felt fine until about and hour and half ago where I started to dwell on the fact that my suicidal thought was influenced by my OCD and at the moment my OCD is at the worst it’s been. This caused me to get suddenly really depressed and I started crying thinking about how I can’t handle this. I then saw a post talking about how suicide rates are high for people with this form of OCD and it made me question if I am mentally strong enough to pull through this. I fear that at times I’m getting worse. I have good days but I have a lot of bad days. Unfortunately this sent me into such a bad panic attack I went over to my nanas crying about how I can’t deal with this. I took a 0.25 mg Xanax which helped calm down the panic attack portion of it but my brain is still uncomfortably active. I guess I just need hope. I’m so saddened by this. It’s like my life took a total 360 in 10 months and got even worse since the steroid shot. Idk what to do about it. I can’t stop the spiral. I talk to two different therapist weekly and start more next week, making it 5 times a week. I feel no improvements…
