… just dont hurt anyone , you dont wanna be in no stinky smelly prison with all the awful people you wouldn’t even be able to sleep there without someone wanting to fight you or something worse . This helps me because ima man and i get harm ocd . I say a few things to myself , i dont wanna go to prison , i love people , and i dont wanna be that weird guy . I also say i rebuke evil alot but at this point . Its almost like im arguing with the thoughts in my head kinda wish there was a mute button . People like me and you need to stay drug or alcohol free

@Love 777 I think it is because we care so much about people. I am an empath and I feel everyone’s pain, and I never ever want to hurt anybody. But my ocd is the worst. It scares the heck out of me.

I’m really bad about this as well. I get extremely nervous when I’m home alone when my partner is gone. I find comfort in being close to them. Try your best to remind. Yourself that you are not your thoughts and try to be in the moment. If anything, maybe you can stay on the phone with your husband util you go in? If phones aren’t allowed to be on then maybe bring something to keep your mind off the bad thoughts. A good game or word search can help sometimes! You got this. Stay strong!

I will bring my head phones and listen to music and play games on my phone. Thank you and I will keep telling myself they are just thoughts and breath at the same time. So happy I found this app and I found people that understand me.

Got a message yesterday that my therapist is taking leave for a few weeks and I don’t have therapy again til the 29th. During this time my wife is going on a trip for work for 5 days and I’m gonna be alone with my son. I’m really worried about having a panic attack in front of my son. Normally my wife is my safe person and helps me so much.

I have to get my wisdom teeth removed on the 21st, I don't know how to deal eith this as I have a fear of needles, blood/gore, sedation, and the biggest one that has nearly sent me to the psych ward multiple times already this summer: emetophobia. I genuinely don't know what to do besides beg my primary doctor for Xanax before the surgery. Whenever I am presented with a fear I have, like the list above, I will tend to shake uncontrollably to the point of having sore muscles and it looks like I'm having an epileptic seizure because of how violent I shake and that's simply not plausible if I need to be sedated and given shots before my surgery to knock me out. I don't know what to do anymore. I was prescribed zoloft because of the fears but my fear of being sick is so strong I can't even take the medicine because I'm afraid of the side effects, and I also generally don't like the idea of ssris anyways but that's the main reason. My girlfriend said she'll be there for me on the day of surgery thankfully so that's good and I'm not worried about waking up too much or tje pain I'm jist worried about the needles and getting sick because they stuff an obnoxious amount of cotton in your mouth when you get teeth like that dislodged from your face. I'm worried about choking on blood because I'll be laying down for the surgery obviously and that much blood will definitely go down my throat and i could be sick

Hi guys, I need help/advice/comfort. My daughters have been sick with a stomach bug, and I went up to the doctors to give them some BRATs food and clothes. I’m afraid I am sick, and that I picked up something from the hospital. I was eating a burrito and it tasted like toothpaste, I immediately spit it out, and began feeling dizzy, out of breath, and started shaking. My brain started to worry I’m having a stroke, or a severe case of COVID, and now my stomach is upset and I’m nauseous. Please someone, please tell me how to handle this. The anxiety is making me miserable.
