Scary thoughts and feelings
Anybody else get scary thoughts and u feel like if u have a scary thought and you are doing something, you won’t be able to successfully do it so you keep trying over and over again.

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! 😁
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
Bro I'm scared rn, so there was a compulsion I did like 2hrs ago and I didn't do it properly cuz I kept getting a thought saying "something is gonna come in Ur room and kill you or you will have this illness It triggers me to say it but I froze because I kept seeing like a shadow and cuz I was home alone and it's dark so I didn't answer it 😃 and cuz I answered it late saying obviously I don't want to illness I would rather have the other (half of me knows it's not real), and I prayed 4 times as well cuz I didn't do the compulsion properly I tried doing it again logs if times and 1 hour later I tried again but It still didn't feel right, and now the thought is hurting my body a little and I feel shivery, and I have tried doing the compulsion but it's not working. Why can't these thighs just leave me alone and stop saying about illnesses all the time. And idk how I'm gonna get thru the night cuz I can't get the thought out of my head and I won't be able to do anything properly.
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.
