Worrying

Thank you so much. Everyday i am worried about my Family. I feel like i can't have a minute in peace. My brain is always telling me that there's something wrong or someone that i love in dangerous,even when they are around me. Its carnival here,so some people of family went to have fun and i just want to stay in my bad watching movies or even to sleep early,but I'm worried about them and i feel like,i can't anymore. Its every fucking day living like this

@ingriddddd - oh fuck.. i exactly get what you mean... like you are putting in words the way i felt a few month ago... and the worst thing about this is it feels impossible to beat, cause like "ofc im always gonna be worried about my family getting hurt"... i would really like to chat with you so i can share some of my experience and hear about some of yours of thats possible with you

@icloudyl Yess, i would love cause i think anyone can understand me about it,i can't even understand myself. How do you overcome this theme? It would be great to talk about it with someone that had been through the same.

@ingriddddd - well about overcoming the fear of losing people.. i just started to like accept it? like everyone is gonna die one day and its just that, i'd expose myself to the idea of my family passing away and you know the stomach sinking feeling.. i would just sit through it and stop myself from avoiding it after a while when i got the thoughts i would still be like sad and scared of them but on the other hand hopeful and alot more free

@icloudyl Wow it seems so hard,i don't know if i can take it. I also suffer from magical ocd. I think if i don't do one thing,something bad will happen with someone that i love. I know its irrational,but what if really happen,i would feel guilty forever. Even though i know i am not god,i can't control things around me,but i can't stop doing anyway

@ingriddddd - ive also dealt with that, with magical thinking you have to realize the reason it feels real is because u reacted to the thought in a way of fear(maybe doing the act that the magical thing told you to do) so your brain sees it as a "real" thing. yeah its super hard to like start but you need to take small steps like first try disregarding a bit from the thought, like when u got the thought just say "oh okay" and try living your life and not ruminating over it also try realizing if a thought is ocd related... not being like (OH THIS IS NOT ME THIS IS JUST OCD) cause that might have themes of avoidance which is super unhealthy, just realizing that its an ocd thought/cycle

@icloudyl You're right. I will try to watch the video that i am procrastinating because of ocd,even if writing about it seems a little dangerous to me. I am trying not to care that much,thank you so much. I am really glad i found this app

I feel you. I am not even a parent but i am worried about my future children too kssk. But i am sure you are a great parent and your kids are safe. Take a deep breath,you are not your thoughts and everything its okay
