OCD doesn't have any limits and it often confuses people to the point where they question their core values. I really do understand what you're talking about, it can be extremely hard and lonely fighting OCD and Depression. But, judging by the way you worded your post, you are ruminating to no end. If you haven't already, you should look for a therapist or atleast get a good OCD book. It can get and it will get better. And that war is pretty unlikely to happen btw.

Thank you for the answer, i still deal with that thought bc that happened a lot of times that when something felt hopeless or bad i got feelings of i dont want to live like this, i want to die... or if something will happen i dont want that to happen, or i will kill myself bc life will be hopeless then. And this thinking scares the shi out of me and puts me to feel disapointed about myself that i thinked that so i reather try to say its ocd... but idk what is it...

And now my mind says that i feel better bc i ask for reassurance or support in everywhere, so that means im desperate=like suicidal people, so that means im that.... like it tries to prove me im in actual danger bc of these thoughts...

@woahman It can be pure torment, a lot of what you're describing is very familiar to me. Almost all of it is a symptom of your brain malfunctioning to a certain degree. It's really hard to explain to you what I want to say but I believe you already know most of it. If you can, buy one of the recommended books on OCD (Brain Lock might be a good one for you) but the thing that'll help you the most, even if you currently may not believe it and it all seems hopeless, is ERP. A painful process but the most effective one. Try finding a good therapist who has experience with OCD and specifically ERP. Your main theme seems to be Suicidal OCD, which is a common theme and can be treated, like all themes, to a fairly high degree.

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…

I usually would say I’ve never been depressed , but recently in my life since my anxiety/ocd has been so bad and having relationship problems I’m feeling kinda sad / stressed. I keep getting scared of being depressed I keep having intrusive thoughts of “ you’d would be better off if you weren’t living” “ I don’t wanna live if it’s like this” and it’s just scaring me 😞

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.
