anyone else scared incase they get possessed or go insane or jus me ?

i know it’s horrible honestly, but you aren’t alone

i feel like i will go crazy all the time !! it’s so scary

I have harm ocd but it is not wanting to harm anyone else only me, and my compulsions are like biting my cheek as hard as I can a certain number of times for me not to go crazy, which sounds crazy in my head, OCD is a monster that feeds off of you me insecurities, I feel like if I do not do the harm ritual I will go crazy and be admitted into a psych ward.

@Kb1987 it’s seriously so scary but personally i think it needs talked about more because so many people will be suffering wondering what’s wrong with them like i was

@k.mc_128 Yeah I agree

@Dre83 ye it really does need talked about

@k.mc_128 Right because I always though OCD was being a clean freak, but there are so many people uneducated about all the different kinds, and now I have been working from home for 2 years and way more isolated it has gotten way worse.

@Kb1987 so did i, never ever would i think i had ocd and everytime someone said it or i seen it when i searched it up i was like no it can’t be but when you look into it it just shows there is an answer to everything, but it seriously does need spoken about more

@k.mc_128 I have not started the ERP yet with my therapist but I know they make you do what you are most scared of and out you in that situation, I am most scared of seriously hurting myself and obviously they cannot help me face that fear or expose me to it because they would not want me to hurt myself if that makes sense , like if you were scared of elevators they would make you go on an elevator, but in my case I am just curious of how they are going to help me because they are not going to want me to harm myself, and mine comes out of the blue so I really have to triggers, just so many questions

@Kb1987 i know that’s the problem these thoughts aren’t just normal scared of heights or whatever they are different but seriously so scary, but i know you will be okay x. i would go to therapy but i have trust issues so i’m scared to tell them incase they judge me or tell people

@Kb1987 I have harm ocd towards my spouse and sometimes my son. My exposures were to write a detailed story of how I would do it and record myself reading it then listen to it on a loop tape for a set amount a time a day, to hold a knife and think about the harm thoughts and to watch documentaries of people who have harmed their spouses or families. There are ways and your therapist will know why to do and they aren’t going to put you in harms way.

@k.mc_128 I am the same way, but just about telling friends, I am paying money so she can judge me all she wants, I am sure they have heard it all.

@Dre83 Thank you for your response! So good to talk to people that understand!

@Kb1987 the best thing is talking to people who actually have been through what you have and actually understand and can tell you what’s actually wrong with you, but it’s so good to talk to someone who isn’t a therapist too who understands

@Kb1987 Of course!

Amen

it is scary, hope your doing okay :)

@k.mc_128 I’ve had this since last year it’s rough

@dudebro same here! always good to talk to people know your not alone

@k.mc_128 I’ve been doing erp therapy for a few months now and it’s helping a lot with there thoughts😌
