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 can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
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 crying but i don’t deserve to i’ve had this thought before, my mom works and i stay home and clean and homeschool. lately i have not been doing my part and i understand why she’s upset. every time she gets upset with me she cries, and tells me how bad i hurt her. Also every time she’s upset with me, for some pathetic reason my head brings up when she hurt me as a child, she never really admitted to it but i think it’s because she doesn’t want to think about how bad she could’ve hurt me or brother. slowly im starting to realize how bad of a person i am, I’m a procrastinator and im lazy. i had a dream about us arguing, i said awful things, something’s i’ve never said before something’s i have out of anger and then i start crying. I think im a psycho, im crying so hard rn. i want to fix everything, why can’t i be different? in my dream i was mean and aggressive, and it scared me.
