If you are having random pop up thoughts and images about suicide it definitely sounds like suicidal ocd to me.

This month i struggled with whats the meaning of life, and i had a feeling that for me now its nothing so i need to do something bc i feel theres no point of living and that im thinking like this makes me feel bad. Still now i feel so stressed and shameful bc last night i felt bad and the ,"i want to die" thought and feeling went through my mind and since then i struggle with is this a real problem, am i in danger and what i said before that i feel shameful and even guilty that such toughts came into my mind.

I have those thoughts too and I definitely have thought what’s the point. They are becoming less and less, as time goes on though, with the right treatment. Do you have depression? Depression and anxiety triggered my OCD to a worse degree and so they are linked. There will be times it feels like you’ve had enough but know that the OCD will make those thoughts more frequent and intense. Are you getting help with how you feel? I was put on Prozac and by week 9, with a mixture of walking, CBT, EMDR, the tapping solution, (all can be found on the App Store) and supplements I feel much more my old self.

And the depression part, honestly i dont know. I think sometimes negatively about the world but thst isnt depression. Sometimes the thoughts put me in a really tired state and then i feel like its something like depression but its not more then a week or even less. And its rarely, last time i had this on summer and it was 8 days till i felt free of it, but between those 8 days it wasnt like it was bad every day, one day was okay, the other was bad, and i tried to grow my knowledge.

But i remember it was bc i had enough of the illnesses that im hearing of,(my aunt got diagnosed with cancer) and i felt like if i was the same situation i couldnt fight bc whats the point? You just will suffer with the illness, and then i realized that this is a really bad belief and i shouldnt think like that, bc i might get sick too and if i just give up bc of this than thats sucks... i know that i cant avoid pain, but i want to learn to not suffer more with it,so im trying to find meaning

But one thing that makes me think now is that i read that here that ocd can make you question everything and when i try to think positive, feel good or give meaning to life my mind is like "did you do this to avoid pain?" So then i feel bad about that too...

So health anxiety/worries triggered it? I think it’s actually what triggered mine too. I question everything also. My brain seems to just not forget stuff easily, I call it sticky brain.

Hi guys i hope someone will help me with this one. I have fears around suicide/mental health/ depression. From the moment i wake up to a moment iam going to sleep i have these crazy thoughts in my head: what if i will be so sad that i will commit? what if my life has no meaning so i will commit? Also i have this mixed with existential/depressed thoughts like: life has no meaning, why iam doing this it has no meaning. So i cant enjoy litterally anything anymore. I have great day and my mind always trying ti convice me that iam suicidal and nothing is going to be the same. My mind has own patterns and i feel like i cant break it down and i know iam not like this. Also words like: mental health, suicide, mentall illness, sadness trigger me so much. Can someone help me? also i have googling compulsion, i spend 24/7 on this app, watching youtube content.

Hey y’all. I have suicidal OCD and I feel that it manifests in a strange way. I feel like my brain often encourages me to kill myself. Like my most dominant thought isn’t ’what if you kill yourself’, it’s ’you should kill yourself.’ It tends to amp up every time I make some mistake, even if it’s small. And it definitely gets worse during times of stress. I don’t want to kill myself and I wouldn’t consider myself depressed. But if these thoughts are OCD, and are my brain trying to keep me safe from killing myself, why would it tell me to? I’d appreciate any insight.

So scared to post this not wanting to sound dramatic incase i dont have it so uh yeah lets go Ive been struggling with this ocd spiral, googling everything i can, taking stupid test that prob dont mean anything, i dont really have compulsions i think? but anyways i cant let it go unless i know. ill give list of reasons why - I get intrusive thoughts i dont want, like sexual or harm related ones, multiple times a day- Yes ik intrusive thoughts are normal so this is probably nothing. To try and give an idea on how many or how constant- when i look at something either that be a person, pet, or an object can be fictional things to- there is a high chance of a thought or mental image popping up -I feel shame and guilty about it because it goes against everything, im asexual so having these thoughts about my family or animals is really upsetting and disturbing bc why am i thinking this, it doesn't feel normal -i try and push them away by blinking, shaking my head, or just walk away from what triggered them -i spiral trying to figure out whats wrong with me for example ofc my brain thinking i have ocd and it filling my brain. or can be about physical health or other mental health disorders- -i constantly am switching between thinking i have it to im faking it. When i see symptoms i have i think, "Okay wait, i must have it" to where when i see a symptom i don't have, i tell myself. "No im just lying for attention or im being dramatic and these aren't real problems". but like rn im struggling with thinking none of this really even happened and i'm just saying things so ppl think sm wrong with me - sometiems i avoid things that trigger it- not alot but like when i get a thought about my dog when im about to pet her, i stop- and walk away becuase it might come true. -i fear something is wrong with me, wether it be my mind, body, health, personality- -im scared to open up about these thoughts becuase im scared people will thing im lying, im weird, or ill be sent to a mental hospital. -also reassuring-seeking. now this isnt a big thing to me but when i think i offended someone i have to say "sorry if i offended you" or if i think i annoyed someone i must say "sorry if i annoyed you", OR i kinda down talk myself saying im annoying, there annoyed with me, they hate me This has been nagging me for days, and i cant get it to stop- BECAUSE what if i do and i don't get it diagnosed and ill deal with this forever or whatever, ik ppl have it worse and i'm probably being dramatic, high possibility. but i'm also scared to tell a therapist bc of that same exact reason and fear of being called dramatic and its all in your head. but uhm hopefully i didn't say anything bad and didn't repeat anything.
