I’m so sorry. I know it can be so rough to deal with so many thoughts at once. ❤️
I haven’t tried ERP as of yet but am slowly working on that. Thank you all so much for your advice and kind words. I will focus on my breathing and try not to dwell in my thoughts. OCD isn’t easy, I forgot how hard the bad days can be because I have been doing well before this small set back. You all are so strong❤️
Are you trying ERP?
Focus on your breathing and try to take deep breaths until your body feels less tense, also try to write down how you feel and let it out
Perfect love cast out all fear you receive salvation as a gift is nothing you could do in your life to have learned that just give thanks to God and let him deal with everything else when you decide you're going to trust him that religious OCD should diminish. I understand your fears of going crazy but I truly believe that people that are worried about all this stuff will never act on any of it I've been dealing mostly over 10 years with the same fear I pray that helps me but we have to just understand that our brain is just so active think about the dreams we have their weird everyday we have to stop thinking that other people don't think crazy things like we do because they're fine they're just not holding on to the thoughts they letting them go my doctor has been giving me Klonopins for my anxiety and it helps I only take it when I'm really overwhelmed but I do try to Hands-On with my anxiety firsthand my OCD came from the anxiety I truly believe that but you just have to let yourself have the thought and then just trust it just a thought and let it go I personally have a fear of knives the big ones and I expose myself to them because I know I would never hurt anybody but it still makes me cry because I don't want to think this stuff and I don't want to be around anyone I feel like can't defend themselves it's going to be an elderly person a little kid which breaks my heart because I love people and I love babies scared to death to hold little babies because of these terrible images I don't care what this thread says and they can report my comment I truly believe that we're all dealing with these things and it is coming from the enemy none of us to truly dangerous these all tricks and lies from the enemy because we have such big loving hearts people that have crazy and evil they don't think about the fears and feel bad I'm worried about all of this stuff like we do and try to protect everybody they have no emotion they don't care they have no feeling and they do it they don't set the years going to this so even if my comments he's up for just a moment I hope it does comfort you. You're not going to lose your mind.just remember God loves you he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world listen to me start reading your Bible get yourself into a church you need good support around you. Everything's going to be okay. Go to a therapist once a week it will help.
Thank you so so much. You don’t know how much this means to me. I trust in God so much. It has been the only thing I think that gets me through. It does get hard sometimes but I know I can’t fight this. You give such amazing advice. It shows how strong and brave you are?. Thank you for taking the time to write to me, you are so kind. I will use your really good advice.I will get through and I know you will too. God bless you and your kind soul?
Can anyone please confort me? I'm having a really bad panic attack, I can't stop crying and I feel like im losing my mind from the fear. I feel like maybe I should just go to the hospital because it feels so real
I am freaking out with panic. It feels like I want to or have to hurt my boyfriend and it’s causing me to have the worst panic attack I’ve had in a while. It feels like I should be in a mental institution and all I want to do is cry. I know at a time like this I need to lean into the anxiety but I’m absolutely terrified. Please. Anyone. Words of wisdom or encouragement. It feels so different than normal and of course I’m so worried this is not OCD. how could it be? It’s so convincing and scary.
I can’t say that I have OCD but I’ve seen the various themes and I feel as I have it and well my life has been very crazy for the last 5 days. Right now I’m struggling with harm and somewhat religious ocd I’d say and becuase of the thoughts I have gotten panic/anxiety attacks and can’t keep myself from shaking and feeling very hot or cold becuase of these thoughts. I have also dealt with health, sexual orientation, etc in the past. But harm and religious ocd has really shaken me like crazy I’ve had thoughts of harming my mother and yk I don’t wanna say the word but yk it and I get really scared that maybe that my mind really wants to do it but I today I cried for the first time in such a while thinking about my mom and it kinda gave me relief because I seriously felt I have lost my emotions but I feel way more relaxed and joining this app today and seeing people’s experiences has given me hope
