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.

so I need to get back into ERP, but it’s so hard to manage these thoughts and learn to deal with them. like I swear my mind has to make everything about it. Like every time I clean my room, my mind’s like yup make sure it’s clean so when your parents find you, or something so stupid like if I get a headache, my mind convinces me that I like the pain and that that’s why I get my thoughts because I actually want to do it. It’s so exhausting. Because I know I would never want to take my life and I treasure my life so why does it do it to me? It’s hard to comprehend the fact of these thoughts too because I don’t know many people with this exact theme. It’s such a scary feeling. And I’m constantly questioning whether I have actual depression or if it’s just my OCD. Yes I have been diagnosed with suicidal OCD, but my mind still tries to convince me otherwise. I just don’t know how to let these just sit and pass without panicking.

Since I started to accept that maybe some of the problems i deal with might be things that i should accept cause either way I feel shame if i have these thoughts, and i think that being that person is shameful. I'm struggling these days and I noticed I have thoughts about God not being real, not helping me, questioning if its real and these thoughts makes me feel shame. But i keep accepting it cause Im tired that i feel like im lying to myself and everytime i feel like im avoiding the truth, so I try to accept it that its okay that im having these problems(I do the same with suicidal ocd,I start to accept maybe its real) but since im doing this I noticed it makes me depreassed cause of shame. Made things worse, I always spin about shame that it might be true, i try tk accept it but it doesnt work, I feel like maybe i should go back and label every feeling and thought as ocd but i know i wouldnt be free cause i would feel like im trying to make myself feel better... But if its ocd, how can I decide its that if I have the emotions like im losing my faith, I get angry when i hear about faith, sometimes i feel like i really question it, have thoughts like i dont want to have faith...
