Ive been here. No one can reassure you are a good person. People will tell you but it has to be you that decides you are! Try meditating and renaming all of your intrusive thoughts as OCD Everytime one pops into your head relabel it. Then think of someone like your pet or your family and label that as love. Think of a fun time in your life and label that as joy. Then think of a bad experience and label it as a bad memory. Then keep sorting through your thoughts until they are all organized. Don't let yourself stress whether or not a thought is OCD or a bad experience. You have to trust yourself to relabel the anxious doubting thoughts as OCD. Don't try to investigate them just sift through and relabel.

Dear Mohelei - Sorry to hear that. I remember those days. Just remember that there is no such thing as "bad thoughts" there are only thought. The same way there are no "bad farts" - There are only farts - some stink more than others. I know this is so counterintuitive to what we have always been taught, especially by religion but it is the pure truth. We have zero control of thoughts - However we do have control of what we do with them. So, reviewing a thought expecting some reaction (positive or negative) is a compulsion that keeps feeding the Monster.

Yesterday I kept thinking about something sad about God like yk when you feel disappointed in God sometimes :( so I had just gotten a really bad thought of God turning into a demon …. And it felt like like I was thinking it for a sec like intentionally… and I quickly started to panic and feel really bad bc I Love God a lot but I’m afraid I committed the Unforgivable sin aka blasphemy my brain gets to addicted to think about certain things I can’t think about

I’m really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, it’s like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isn’t that great and everything is super tough for me. It’s like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now I’m really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me it’s decently strong so it’s hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. It’s an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that I’m getting better when in reality I’m in so much pain, it’s like I’m barely doing anything at all. Please, help, I’ve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though it’s extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I don’t want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to even deal with it. I’m so lost, I might lose it more, and I’m scared for myself. I feel like I don’t even deserve help. I’m so mentally unwell I can’t even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. I’m so numb to it all. I don’t feel anything anymore.
