the thoughts are getting MUCH worse i need help someone please help me i don't know what to do. before it used to be different in the 5th grade but over the past 2 years it changed forms. no one knows about these thoughts. i cant bring myself to tell a trusted adult. i just need help i keep getting attacked with these thoughts.
maybe you could tell them the least scary thoughts, enough that someone would get you started on therapy? I’m 22 but that’s what I did since my parents are really strict and religious to where mental health isn’t taken seriously. They simply wouldn’t understand so I told my mom that I was having a lot of anxiety. She told me to talk to a doctor bc it could a deficiency problem. The doctor referred me to therapy where I was honest for the first time about my intrusive thoughts and asked to get assessed for OCD. Maybe I got lucky but I said the minimal I could to get help. If you don’t think you could get to that point just yet, try looking into ERP a bit. It helped me during the time I refused to tell anyone. Sitting with the thought, discomfort, and anxiety. And trying to redirect your attention back to the present moment. I’m sorry you’re going through this, just remember you are not your thoughts and OCD distorts things.
I’m here for you, what do you need?
maybe talking to a counselor at school might help? I feel like sometimes it might be awkward to talk to your parents, but if you are able to talk to your guidance counselor (or school psychologist), they can help you talk to your parents and that might be easier!
i was around your age when i first started having rough, intrusive thoughts. i’m sorry you’re going through this. it’s really hard, and i’m sure you’re having trouble sleeping. i know it’s easier said than done, but try to remind yourself that your thoughts are only thoughts. they’re not physical. they’re not truthful. thoughts visit you, just the same they visit everyone else. the only difference is people like you and me tend to hold on to these thoughts and let them over stay their welcome. one thing that helped me is having a “mantra”. think of a song, a quote or something funny and repeat it in your head. fload those scary thoughts. focusing on breathing slowly. this sometimes would be the only way i fell asleep. i promise you things ease up. there’s nothing wrong with you.
Idk if I have ocd or not I just want to know about 4 months ago I started getting harmful thoughts to loved ones im very scared because I would never hurt anyone. These thoughts scare me so much because they are so vivid and I have like these urges as if I’m going to do it. What is this? Am I ok? Am I going crazy please someone help it feels like I can’t take it anymore living this way with these thoughts haunting me day and night.
Does anyone else get really bad thoughts that attack the holy Spirit. I hope I am not the only one. These thoughts scare me because they come in all different ways they disappeared for about 4 days, and one day they came back and they are worse now than they have ever been. They keep attacking him, ever chance they get. I can't pray, go for a walk, or watch tv, or even talk to people without negativity towards him. Like my thoughts keep blaming him for everything, I can't get rid of these thoughts. What makes me sad the most is when I'm tired I can't fight them and my biggest concern is that it's coming from me. I'm worried about what the thoughts say about me. Do I mean to have these thoughts. I can't seem to be happy. I feel lost and scared that I have done something wrong to make God mad at me. My parents won't let me get therapy, I'm all alone. I'm nervous and anxious about my thoughts. And I pray but I can't find peace. I hope everyone who is going through this never has to go through this the way I am.
