my mom and my brother put on the Joker and it started triggering me and making me feel crazy and like i could do all of those things? i feel very irrational and not like myself and i just want this to end
hey! Remember that you need to sit in uncertainty and move on :) I have a relationship with Jesus and I blocked out a lot of those movies Murder, phycotic people, etc because it’s really just not good for us. But also this doesn’t mean watching it can turn you into something your not. I’m just meaning ocd or not blocking out movies or songs really is good for you! I can tell you more if ya want!
@Jenny330 Maybe you know then that watching stuff like that can be something called an open door, which just leaves room for the enemy to bring fear or other things into your life. So I would stay clear of stuff like that. But ocd is very real and these thoughts are still gonna happen so just sit in uncertainty about what it could possibly mean! You are doing great girl!
If you feel triggered by something and your OCD flares up, the best thing you can do is expose yourself to it. Also be careful not to let your faith become the compulsive behavior! It’s a fine line between practicing our faith in a healthy way and moral scrupulosity. Great thoughts on here! Love the support and love this community gives! ❤️
I’m not a religious person, so I don’t avoid certain types of media. I used to feel that way about watching things like that, but I realized that it’s OCD. I think it’s similar to the subtype “Emotional Contamination” I like listening to true crime, but all of a sudden I started to feel like maybe I could do these things? What makes me different? However, I’ve let those thoughts pass and I still listen to true crime without a problem. I think if we were to believe that we could commit a crime just by seeing or hearing someone else do it, all police officers, counselors and probation officers would be committing crimes. The same goes for going crazy and things like that.
An open door isn’t just having tormenting thoughts about something. An open door can lead to so many things, not just “if you watch a movie about this, you might become this” that’s not it. it’s SO much more.
@loved by the one true king Those things bring fear, maybe even anxiety into our lives wether you realize or shrug it off. Which builds up behind the scenes and isn’t good for us! And it can look different for all people, it could be more severe than that or less
i’m back in a cycle of having harm related OCD thoughts and feelings and urges and i get these episodes where it’s like i’m disassociating and feel like i’m about to snap and go crazy violent. does anyone else experience this? i need help
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
I have all kinds of thoughts that aren’t me it feels like someone is talking to me telling me evil things about people or to do evil things 😞😞😞😞 I can’t do this anymore
