I can talk. I completely understand that, it gets like that for me too and it feels like I’m either gonna do it or end up hospitalized. Often times I just find myself thinking out the actions vividly, all the blood and gross stuff. If that doesn’t work (which it won’t always work) I try distracting myself or thinking about the fact that I can think of many things vividly but that doesn’t mean I want to do it. I can imagine myself going outside naked, doesn’t mean I want to nor am I going to do it. Focusing on these thoughts is only going to make them worse. Obviously you’re going to focus on them. They’re scary. But always just try to change the narrative a bit. Think of yourself in a cartoon too, that helps! Or imagine talking to your favorite celebrity or fictional character. If you have any questions ask me :)

and like even earlier on i called my Gp regarding ms asking them to fill out a form to get extra support regarding my mental health however they were just rude and said they need to charge me to get the letter when i wasn’t told about it. like why do i have to pay to prove i have mental health when it’s already in the system to get support for my college like? that also didn’t help because i’m like wow no one is supportive i’m all alone

it’s really horrible like the other day i started getting weird thoughts about what if i’m a transgender and i couldn’t stop obsessing over it and it’s scaring me cause i wouldn’t want that so i don’t understand why i have it and then after i start thinking about me blinking a lot and then i have to do it since my brain is too focused and i keep having thoughts of not being normal and my head won’t shut up up and i want to like those normal people who have no thoughts ugh this sucks

Yeah I completely understand the gender questioning and the “brain won’t shut up” my best advice is to focus on other things. Leave the questioning for some other time. If you don’t want it, then you aren’t (as spoken from a trans person) and I find that going to the store, building Lego’s, doing puzzles, painting, watching YouTubers, baking, going for a walk, talking to friends, sewing, and reading help me get out of my head when my brain starts hyperfocusing on ocd and bad thoughts. Sorry that I’m not much help I’m not the best at explaining things

@confusedbutamused yeah your right but that’s what scares me i don’t understand why i’m having these trans thoughts if i’m not it’s annoying and my brain makes it feel real and i don’t want it clearly

@Aisha372828 I have thoughts that I’m cis and it feels so real and I’m scared that I am. I understand. Why would I have thoughts telling me I’m cis and I would be happier cis if that’s not true? It’s just how ocd works. Trust me I KNOW that sounds so stupid because it’s all you can focus on and it doesn’t even sound believable, but it’s true. Sometimes I’ll picture my future life in that gender and sometimes I’ll feel liek “oh yes that would be nice” and other times I would rather stick my hand on a hot pan. Ocd is all about tricks. The more you freak out about it the more power you give it. Just be like “yea okay.” Plus if you don’t want to be trans then don’t. Simple as that

@Aisha372828 it’s someone who identifies with their birth gender!

@Aisha372828 god that really sucks questioning sucks in general but when ocd is thrown in it makes it 1000 times worse. go buy a cake or something you deserve it honestly. You’re amazing for putting up with you’re ocd

How do I snap out of it? Any suggestions?
I'm new and I'm really trying to control thoughts of replaying interactions I've had or things I think might happen with the people around me. This is something constant, and it causes me to repeat actions. Then I lose track of time and often end up being late. It has always affected my sleep and becomes a part of my dreams, which are also always vivid. It's always been hard for me to get up. I just constantly keep replaying different outcomes of things that it haven't happened yet going over every possible outcome with no correct answer. I'm scared of what I might say and do when at work because it's been getting worse lately. I've been terrified of socializing, because I feel like I'm going to lose it every time I speak to someone. I work directly with people doing their hair. I don't want my clients or co-workers to catch me in the act of one of my rituals or it to effect the job that I'm doing. It just makes me angry that I haven't been able to control these thoughts and it makes the rituals worse. Then I feel embarrassed after I finally stop repeating whatever it is, I'm doing. I feel like I can't trust anyone, and I’m terrified but I know it's not real. I can't afford to lose it/show it.
