i’m so over feeling like this:/

does anybody ever get a stream of intrusive thoughts and then you try to just ignore them and then you just start spiraling. then you feel like you’re going crazy, and all the sudden you’re convinced that your going to loose control and go crazy. i don’t know if that made any sense but it’s a super scary feeling and i don’t know how to work myself out of those moments, all i want to do is just disappear or check myself into a mental hospital😭

Wow I honestly feel like I could’ve written this myself word for word. I have the same exact feelings and thoughts. Which tells me that it’s something we can share and say it’s OCD and it’s not really us and there is a huge community who goes through the same thing who are here to help us. You are not crazy. When you start to spiral, wrap your arms around yourself and tell yourself how much you love yourself and how it is going to be okay, and take deep breaths. I know it sounds simple but it does help, maybe it will help you too. We are here for you.

@madeleinemg i’m sorry you are dealing with this as well. i don’t know what i’d do without this platform it’s truly so hard to get advice from or open up to people without ocd they truly just do not understand. Thank you for the advice i will definitely be trying that out.

Hey! I’m on the same journey, and what i’ve learned through tons of research and years battling uncontrollable and scary thoughts is that you cannot ignore them. ignoring it will make it worse. you need to accept the thoughts, no matter how hard that is. agree with the thoughts, make them feel worthless. i highly recommend watching @OcdandAnxiety on youtube. he has tons of strategies to help with intrusive thoughts and how to live with them

Sorry you’re going through this. I can relate. From time to time I catch myself going down the OCD rabbit hole. When I do, I give myself some compassion and accept the uncertainty (maybe, maybe not). Sometimes I may practice some mindfulness meditation. Choosing instead not to engage with the OCD thoughts but watch them float on like clouds in the sky. Hope this helps!!!

I’m not gonna lie ... sometimes I feel like I have no control over what I think and feel. Idk if that happens to anyone else but I just feel plain crazy now. I’m not hallucinating or hearing stuff but like... it’s like my mind is just throwing all kinds of intrusive thoughts and my emotions are mixed

I’m super aware of intrusive thoughts and they don’t go away and I don’t know how to make them go away or how to deal with them. And last night I had an urge and was almost going to act on one and that terrified me. I came home and the same thought arhat scared me was still in my mind and it scares me. I’m scared I’m going to lose control and become a bad person because I just don’t know what to do about the thoughts and how I’m capable of these things. I even contemplated about admitting myself to a mental hospital to get help because it’s getting bad and I don’t know how to control it. But I’m scared of doing that because what if I just end up staying in there for the rest of my life. What should I do I’m really scared and worried I may never get better and this is it for me.

does anyone else experience this?

This is so hard to explain so bear with me. After having violent intrusive thoughts and urges for a long time, sometimes when I'm really anxious I won't get obsessed with a particular thought/urge but moreso all of them combined. It feels like I need to release the urge and just do something. My mind RACES and it's like "do this, do that, so something to release this pent up anxiety" And I get so scared I need to like lock myself in a room or I feel like I need to be in a hospital where I'm restrained to prevent myself from doing one of these things. It's like the disorder has advanced so far that it's not 1 thought at a time anymore, it's like all of them and then some during an episode. Again it's so hard to articulate.
