Wow, I think if nothing else this thread shows us that we are not alone and once again, this is just OCD trying to lie to us! It’s not reality!👍 From someone who has only had the theme of suicidal OCD, I will share some tips that kind of work for me when super triggered 1. Stop ruminating by acknowledging the thought, “Yes, thought I see, but I will get back to you in a hour, I have some things to do”. You are accepting the thought but moving on with your value based life even if it doesn’t “feel” good in the moment 2. Remind yourself, that once again, this is OCD and do not engage with the theme, let the emotions come and go 3. Stay off the internet. Not to avoid but to avoid the temptation of going down the rabbit hole of trying to learn more about the individual and see if you could do something like that to. It will just continue the cycle of rumination and anxiety Those are just a few tips that have worked for me. This too shall pass guys, we can do it!!💪👍❤️

@Anonymous Love this! Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to do the first 2 points with the themes I’ve already had / have which is health and harm. The 3rd point is sooo me it’s crazy. Whether it be a story i read about someone with a health condition or what happened yesterday morning with Twitch i find myself continuously reading stories and comments to see if i relate in anyway. For example he looked so happy and when i smile i think i look happy. Am i not really happy? Like i don’t feel depressed but what if i am? All of these thoughts emerged simply by reading his story and comments surrounding it. I feel like I’m digging a rabbit hole and i need to stop before it gets deeper. Thank you 💕

@Anon17 Of course, happy to share what has worked for me in the past! And yes number 3, I had to learn the hard way, I classically go down the rabbit hole and then check to see if I feel depressed which classically then makes you start to feel like you might be, it’s a cycle that never ends🤦♀️🤣 So just not starting down that path, is a great way of breaking that cycle!😊 I know you can do it too!!❤️❤️

I’ve never struggled with suicidal ocd before this news broke but now i feel like my mind is being pushed into a new theme because my mind knows how much it bothers me. It triggered me beyond belief and i am terrified to experience suicidal thoughts. Here’s to hoping I’m just in my head and in the heat of the moment and that the intrusive thoughts don’t get bolder. Sending you much love as well 💕

OH GOODNESS YES! This theme is the hardest for me to get over. I’ve been stuck in this loop for 2 years now. It has gotten easier but news like this makes me feel as though I’m starting from square 1 again. It’s so hard and heartbreaking.
