Hey girl. I’m right there with you. It’s hard thinking you’re in this alone, and most of the time that’s in fact what we do think…. But look around and there’s thousands of others going through the same difficulties :/ if anyone wants to talk for support or just checking in, please feel free to reach out to me. I’m on social media and would love to help each other out.

I don’t even know. I just feel like I’m losing my mind. Everyday feels worse. It started with having horrible thought/urges about my cat then it spiraled and became about my mom and my boyfriend. All people that I love so much. I keep questioning myself and what if I’m actually a psycho and I’m gonna do something terrible or what if I like thinking about these things even though I don’t. It’s torture. Now I’m questioning the simplest things. Like music and shows that comfort me I’m like do I even like this? I just can’t stop being in my head. It’s even harder cause I had derealization since august so I’ve been navigating figuring that out and the harm ocd started about a month ago. It just feels hopeless

@morgorreee I've been there. Medication helped me with HOCD and questioning everything, but then a year later, my POCD came back but it's almost gone thanks to GG OCD.

@ViVampire🧛🏻♀️ Is it normal to have questions or feelings wondering if you should just give in or that you’re afraid you like the thoughts? It’s so contradictory cause I’m like obviously I don’t like them they’re causing me so much distress. But I’m scared my brain is just gonna turn against me

@morgorreee A free app. I've learned to embrace the doubt, and not dwell on it. If you want to talk more, I'm on Twitter, Snapchat, MeWe and Wickr Me.

@morgorreee I had the same thing happen to me. You must be so scared, hang in there! Maybe this is just me but they said I was near psychotic and had me stay at a hospital and give me meds. Whatever it is, psychosis or OCD, there is no shame in getting help.

@ViVampire🧛🏻♀️ That’s just terrifying to me though. Having the thought that I could go into psychosis?

@morgorreee Psychosis is a mental illness where you lose touch with reality, it is a terrifying feeling, but it shouldn't be shameful. If it is what you are going through, you can get better.

I struggle hun each day and fear mental health. I just want to get better but my thoughts / urges and feelings are haunting me everyday. Even in my dreams. I just started meds yesterday cause i cant do this alone. I struggle and want to get better but my thoughts while i type this says “ya no”. I hope soon enough i can be someones survival story. 💜 i feel this app for me is also a catch 22. Its great to not feel alone but its also scary and dark to read others stories cause I can tend to cling to it. Know your limits. You can and will do this!

I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.

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…
