buddy, i would give u strongest hug if i could like 5 month ago i went through the same theme and its just awfully draining, if you wanna talk with anyone im here please start accepting the intrusive thoughts as a possibility.. i know it can hurt but you have to teach your brain that its not as much of an threat

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

@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

My health concerns are about my unborn baby. It’s debilitating and scary to feel like I’ve failed at keeping her safe. No one understands the guilt and sadness I feel when worrying about her. I do it in regards to my two healthy children as well. But right now my obsession has to do with the one in my belly. I’m so sorry. It is draining.

Worried and self-conscious all the time?
I don't know how to describe it, but when i walk down the street it's like I'm always very aware of whether people are looking at me or something, and i can feel some concern if some older men slightly look at me, if they are stalkers or they are watching me because of my butt, or other parts, and i tend to squeeze it or hide it, i get uncomfortable and want to leave quickly. This also makes me question whether i actually experienced something that i'm not remembering or that i have blocked, because i think my reactions and my fears are somewhat more strong and weird. It's weird, i used to objectify myself to get attention and that's where most of the bad actions i did come from, but now it's like i feel hypervigilant, besides being afraid of being terrible myself, i also worry about other people being like that. It's also like i want to have nothing sexual, to have an operation to remove my parts or something like that

Please Help
I feel so much for people, especially my parents, brother, and nana right now. I saw a few people I know from college and high school whose mom or dad passed away at a young age and I don’t know what to do about it but worry for mine who are having a hard time emotionally and mentally right now. My mom took a new job because she was previously overworked. She’s in her mid-fifties and her friends are all retired and have nice homes. She traded her old him for a smaller home that she hates. It’s required for her at her new job to complete a license exam and pass but it looks like such a hard exam and she’s so overwhelmed and emotionally drained and can’t stop comparing herself to her friends. I can’t even come up with anything positive to say to her. She feels like she shouldn’t have this much stress at this point in her life. My dad is constantly thinking about politics and it’s frustrating because it’s so toxic to even think like this but he’s stubborn and keeps thinking and talking about it. He’s currently an independent contractor and is having a hard time finding a job and finding clients, so he’s stressed about not bringing any income in. My brother and I are also stressed because we are overworked at our jobs and have been applying for new jobs for over a year and can’t get any. I haven’t had the best experience with my previous jobs because my bosses have been just awful in the past while I worked so hard and over 10 hours a day. My nana has been so lonely for so many years and finally has her friend who is now living close to her. After a month of her friend living with her, her friend fell and broke her hip. I feel so bad for both of them and I just feel like we all can’t win or catch a break. I feel like there’s more bad than good in this world and if there is a God, why would he make it so difficult for us to live in this world. It’s complete torture. I’m seriously so mad at God and why he/she would let this happen.
