Anyone else?

Does anyone sometimes just sit and wonder how they could even have such thoughts? What could possibly have happened to make you start thinking like this, to make you genuinely fear that you are sick in the head even though you never felt or thought this way prior. Sometimes I wonder what I could have done differently in the past to have prevented this, how much better my life would be without it. My mind has successfully ruined days that I know would've been good. I can't look forward to anything anymore because I know it will be ruined

Yes me too. Constantly. However, I have a problem. I was so hellbent on proving that a particular thought was unwanted that I inadvertently made those thoughts reflex. This is horrible and I was telling myself all last night that I just want to forget, but do I really desrve to? It's like I am becoming what I fear the most. I need CBT and some form of amnesiac because that's the only way I'll put an end to this madness. It's like I was so caught up on the idea of having OCD that I forgot why I developed an OCD in the first place.

I can remember the day like it was yesterday. However, it was many years ago. I remember coming home pissed at myself and it was an awful day at work. I smoked a joint & began doing some exercise. I experienced my first panic attack and I couldn’t sleep. I kept praying, asking god to please don’t let me go crazy. The next day I woke up and shaken but had to go to work. Came back home, lit another joint and had another panic attack. I swear the pot I was smoking was laced. PCP was big in those days but I wanted no part of that stuff. I quit “cold turkey” and haven’t smoked pot in 40+ years and I was never the same. And I’m still on my journey. I can’t unwind the clock and still moving forward. Stay strong everyone!!!✌🏽

My mom has OCD and passed it to me. She felt fear was safety, she was a great mother but everything lead to death. I was taught to not trust others or myself

Can anyone relate?

Woke up this morning immediately looking for the thoughts that I’ve been having even though i don’t want to think about them. I feel like i ended up bringing them upon myself and then i had a super gruesome thought and have been worrying about it all morning. Is it possible to bring thoughts upon yourself? Is it ocd or is it just me? I’m just so scared of going “crazy” that i keep looking for thoughts deciding if it’s me or not if you know what i mean. It’s such a scary feeling When you feel like you don’t know who you are 😭 i literally am just petrified of completely losing sense of who i am and doing something bad and being locked away forever. Is it possible to just turn bad? Does anybody know what i mean by that? Like you secretly have a double ego and completely turn into somebody different? Does anyone else experience this? Is it ocd? I’m so scared i feel like i can never catch a break.

I'm so scared, it feels so real. It's like my mind finds every little thing to trigger me, even when I'm thinking normally. I have this permanent disgusting feeling now that won't go away, my mind twists everything into some disgusting thought. What if it is real and I'm a actually a monster? All I can think about are what ifs. I don't know how this could have even started, the last thing I want is for this to be true. I hate myself so much, I can't even look in the mirror anymore. I want it to end, I just want everything to end

I just wish I’d never entertained the first ever intrusive thought I had like maybe I wouldn’t have spiraled so far for so long. it’s always on and off every moment of the day like I’m actually gonna be suffering for the rest of my life
