You ever get Scary thoughts that maybe it will be better if you weren’t here like no pain , no drama, no ocd anymore, just gone from existence and you kinda agree with your thoughts like it kinda would be better, how do you cope with these , is this normal to have?
I absolutely understand what you're saying. Intrusive suicide is a theme that still pops up for me and it's really common for a lot of people with OCD. The reality is, OCD is scary, especially when you're first learning how to recover. When I notice this experience happening to me, I sit with it, hand over my heart, and listen without judgement or resistance. It takes practice and patience, especially because OCD wants you to fear that you might find that what you're thinking/feeling is true. But over time, I was better able to tolerate the distress and uncertainty, and I accept this experience for what it is. I also now see it as a sign that I need to do some self-care. You're not alone in this ❤️
@GelPensXL It just sucks I that I get thoughts that maybe like this
Hey! i experienced similar thoughts with harm OCD/ suicidal ocd. I delt with suicidal ocd for almost a year and Ive been dealing with harm OCD for about 6 months which where THE WORST 6 months of my life!!! But honestly, I can tell you that its finally getting better for me. Finding this app and knowing that im not alone in this journey.. I want to encourage you friend!!!❤️❤️
There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
