Ocd guilt vs depression and other kind of guilt
I got this question on my mind. I feel guilty when i have the suicidal thoughts, harm thoughts, how you decide that thats ocd guilt or other kinds of guilt, cause the difference is that with ocd guilt you dont have to think through things and you just have to move on, with other kinds of guilt you have to talk about it, deal with it, ask for help, treat it like a danger cause then thats real suicidal thoughts not ocd. Im again thinking if its real or not, i cant decide, i feel that im denying real problems, if i let me feel the suicidal thoughts with the feelings(cause i feel sad, it happenes when i get hurt) its just so much and i feel guilty and afraid cause i think its dangerous. I dont want to get lost on it and actually do it or again deal with all that feelings. Either if its ocd or real, this symptom of guilt and trying to avoid it is the same for both, so i cant decide if o have a real problem or its just ocd. The feeling of trying to avoid thinking about it to solve the problem makes me think im actually having real thoughts and im avoiding. But i did try to think about it in the past and made me lost,.believe it more that im in danger, my anxiety got worse, until something helped and then i was like "what, i was never suicidal, its just doesnt feel real that i was". So thats why im frustrated and i try to avoid thinking about if its real suicidal thoughts, whats my problem, if i find a problem i think "omg then im really suicidal" worry alot, feel guilty, and i feel like i dont ask for help, cause a part of me still thinks that this is ocd,.and i have to stop asking for help, its just a rummination. But alot of times i feel guilty again for 2 reasons, 1 because i think its a bad thing to think about offing yourself, 2 because i feel like im avoiding real problems cause i have these thoughts when i have problems. Also is it possible to have ocd suicidal thoughts while you have feelings of hopelessness or desperate/sadness, anger?
