That certainly sounds like an obsession and compulsion. The feeling OCD gives you is always really scary. Unfortunately, the more the compulsion is performed, the more often you feel anxious not doing it. The only way to start getting better is by being aware of these thoughts as strictly coming from OCD, and the urge to perform a compulsion in the same way. Eventually the realization that the thoughts aren’t real and the compulsion isn’t necessary will sink in. That’s a really simplified version of the process, but maybe bringing some awareness to it can be your first step! I would recommend working with a therapist if possible. If that’s not possible for you, you can always post here if you need some support! 😁

Repeat thoughts
Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.

Ive been struggling with the fear that if i am suicidal or something and ive been having like fears or intrusive thoughts of jumping off or losing control and acting on these thoughts and i dont know if this is just some very bad case of anxiety? Im always thinking about it trying to prove it wrong in my head and its gotten to a point where its effecting my sleep, i use chat gpt. I know deep down i dont wanna do any of it, i mean the very thought makes me panic quick so idk i just want to forget all these thoughts and i was wondering if anyone goes through this as well?
