Had the thought earlier that if any of my thoughts proved themselves to be true I’d have to take my own life and that makes me so so sad

Crazy how one thought can escalate so quickly into something so harmful! You will not take your own life. You are a good person and everything will be okay.

It’s important to remember that they aren’t true though because you are here, seeking help on this app. If they were true they wouldn’t cause you so much pain and suffering.

Thank you so much 🥺 it’s wild because I know the truth and know I’m a good person but I question myself so much because of ocd

Our ocd minds try to convince us that they are true and it’s often to determine what’s true and what’s not true. I read that it’s best to not try to deem these thoughts true or untrue, view them as thoughts, stop trying to figure them out and understand them.

Yes I feel the exact same way. I suffer with the same themes and if they were ever true, I could not live with myself. I’m so sorry that it had to be that way for both of us and many others. This disease is so debilitating and hurtful. I’m here for you.
