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❤️

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.

Really struggling!
Hi guys! I had really bad harm ocd about 2 years ago and I went through therapy and eventually got really good at handling it when it would pop up. The other day, I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a girl talking about a guy who was presenting a lot of schizophrenic symptoms but no one paid attention and got him help, he was having a lot of delusions, hallucinating, thinking everyone was out to get him, thought he was Jesus and his dad was the president and ended up doing horrific things. The day after that, I was dealing with some work drama and had the thought of “what if all my coworkers are against me and trying to get me fired”. That really stressed me out, cause I don’t normally think about them like that and I went down a rabbit hole of thinking that was the beginning of me developing schizophrenia, ended up googling stuff all night, taking tests, crying and seeking reassurance. I had a thought the other day “your dad is the president”, this one didn’t stress me out as bad as I knew it was just the video I had seen and it was an intrusive thought about it, and I also didn’t believe it. Today I was with some friends and I got a prize at a place we went and it said “lonely” on it. I do have my moments of feeling lonely and this week has been specifically trying so I had a thought like “oh someone’s out to get me cause I got this”. I know this isn’t logical and it wouldn’t make sense to just randomly get it if someone was truly after me and it was just a stupid prize at a random place, anyone could’ve gotten it. Im just struggling a lot with schizophrenic OCD and thinking I’m in the pre stages of it. In my good moments, I don’t think I am at all and it was all just sparked from the video I watched but in my bad moments, these thoughts feel real!! They really stress me out and make me feel like I’m going to lose my mind causing me to lose my job/ end up in a psych hospital/ never live a normal life/ end up alone, never see me my loved ones/ hurt my loved ones. I just want to feel normal and not like I’m about to lose my mind and everything I care about. Please help!!! Anyone else going through something similar and can help me get through this!

OCD or something else
I have religious OCD and the thoughts have been becoming really bad. I’ve been hitting myself punching myself screaming quietly if that makes sense pulling my hair out talking to myself nonstop. I can’t even hang out with my family without doing these things or going to another room to do these things, these thoughts of overtaking my life I will always be Christian God is most important to me and I’m so scared because these thoughts are terrible. They’re disgusting they never ending. There’s always something going on in my mind. I don’t understand. I’m scared. I’m turning into a bad person. I don’t wanna dishonor the Lord God, I don’t know if this is just OCD or something else.

Frustrated
So my ocd has been doing better, in the sense that I am able to resist compulsions, but the thoughts are still there. And I get so upset because some days I’m just constantly stuck in my own head. Like I went out to today with my mom, and for a solid hour I was spiraling. And my OCD has been trying to make it seem like this flare up is different, and that because things aren’t working out the way I want them to be regarding my recovery, that it’s not OCD and I’m just a crazy person. It causes me to just shut down and want to just go home. I get so upset that I want to cry. I get intrusive thoughts that something bad is gonna happen, or that something doesn’t feel right, and so it feels like I do something, anything, to make me feel better about it. I also can’t sleep in my own bed. I’m so afraid that I won’t fall asleep in it, and if I don’t sleep, I will go crazy. My thoughts are just so scary rn, I don’t know what to do. I don’t want anything bad to happen to me :(
