OCD

Please help… I’m starting to panic and I know I shouldn’t do this because it’s a compulsion and I’m looking for reassurance but I wanna know if it happens to others so I just watched a video on TikTok about this mother loosing her child to fentanyl and like I don’t know why every time a drug is mentioned or like I see someone drugged in the street my mind instantly makes me feel the urge of wanting the drug when I really don’t or making me think I’m gonna become addicted to a drug (I don’t do drugs I’m scared) like it scares me because I see what they do to people but it makes me feel like the urge to do it or to think I might become addicted or I might go try it and become an addict idk the worst case scenario it makes me think or like someone is gonna drug me. Like I always feel like someone is gonna drug me I always feel like someone is out to drugging me or I grab something and i immediately think I’m gonna become drugged. I hate it.

try out the SOS feature on here (the little life-saver in the bottom right corner). it helped me the other night when i was having intrusive thoughts! just remember that they are only thoughts and cannot really hurt you, even though they feel overwhelming.

It’s okay. You experienced a trigger and now your OCD wants to make you miserable in all its loops. Welcome to the life of OCD, lol 😂 This is what OCD does. It’s normal for OCD. ERP therapy can break this miserable cycle. I think it could turn your life around. Have you ever worked with a therapist trained in ERP?

@Tea and Honey Yes, I figured. My OCD really knows how to take a toll on me but I was with a therapist not anymore because it was getting to expensive I would have to pay $100 every week. I would wanna try them myself but idk how recommendable that is because I promise anything I touch I think has drugs or I think someone is trying to drug me literally. I make scenarios in my head and believe them. Which I really wanna break that cycle because living with it is very overwhelming.

@yaya_zz Yes, you have got the break the cycle. And you can break it with ERP!!! You can get there! I would recommend NOCD. They take most insurance, and they are all online visits. I was really helped by them. All the therapists are trained in ERP therapy. If that doesn’t work, I would recommend Nathan Peterson on You Tube. He is a licensed therapist. He has a lot a of free videos. He also has an online master course that you can take yourself if you pay for it, and you can go at your own pace. I’ll try to post on of his videos below.

While I was looking for Nathan Peterson, I came across these videos by Natasha Daniels. They are aimed at kids and teens, but the information is just as relevant for adults. You might like her channel because she has a lot of relevant videos. I’ll link a few of her videos below: https://youtu.be/Cegxh_LNzfU?si=1ycRoDveuZ73HYk4 https://youtu.be/4az4YGFG5VE?si=NMD99eDEwUS8XOZe https://youtu.be/QJnUSawwiCM?si=tLgXNa_UrrXMFpg8

idk how to go about this

Hi im 15 and my name is Asia and I have a really bad fear of drugs I think their everywhere and on everything and I keep convincing myself I did them and I always tell myself I took something dangerous like cocaine or worse it happens everyday when I eat or drink something when I’m around certain people or places I get these thoughts and when I get the thought I took something I start to feel “weird” like my body starts reacting and I automatically think “I’m dying” so I call 911 and I feel like I HAVE to call or else something horrible is gonna happen if I don’t my whole perspective on life is miserable and scary because of this I wanna feel like myself again and not get these scary thoughts it’s literally ruining everything for me I don’t like hearing ppl talk abt drugs or anything that has to do with it or I start telling myself it’s happening to me or that I took something

Drug OCD

I am always worried about medication/drugs and I am so anxious about whether I might be under the influence of something or not. has experienced anything similar? I have derealization and panic attacks and I am so so tired of worrying about whether or not I am “feeling” real or if something I ate had drugs in it. I am so sick of doing compulsions and living in constant fear!!! I tell myself that it’s fine and that derealization is just my body’s natural coping mechanism and even though I always fear for the worst nothing bad ever happens but I just can’t get it through my head!!! It’s so frustrating!!

OCD theme involving drugs?

Does anyone else have the strong urge to do some sort of drugs sometimes when there ocd gets really bad or over nothing in general, like I’ll just be sitting doing nothing and my brain goes “you need to do cocaine right now or else” and I get a urge and it’s so like odd to me??? I’ve never done drugs in my life and never plan to because my father was a addict and I’ve seen what they’ve done to people so it scares me when I get these thoughts and then I get the urge to reach out to someone who can give me drugs and I play this whole scenario in my mind where I contact someone and I meet up with them and pay them for the drugs and then I take them and die and it’s like??? Idk I’ve had weird intrusive thoughts involving drugs before but this is like different if that makes sense, I also can’t stop focusing on how my body feels when this happens like it’ll feel like I was a previous addict and that I’m going through withdrawal and need something or else and it’s just so weird to me. Anyone else go through this?
