Does anyone have a fear of snapping? Like losing their mind, hurting someone etc. Ig just losing control?

ocd: what if I snap? Reality: I may or may not snap, and that is ok because at the end of the day I am a human and we have emotions. If such emotions arise, I will be deal with them then. But for now, OCD your time is up đ€

I have the same feeling.. I did one time in the hospital going thru a psychotic episode, but really don't remember it that much at the time. That's why I'm afraid I'm just going to blurt things out. I have to keep distracting myself.

Yes! Also (potential tw?) Do these thoughts every tie in to other mental illnesses for you? Like fearing youâre going to get something else because of all the crazy thoughts

Yes, I do. I keep feeling like I'm going to just snap. I can hardly get out of bed and get things done. I'm suicidal because of it and so depressed. It's a nightmare and I can't seem to even get dressed for the day. Everything is turned upside down. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go to the hospital, but don't want to. How are you calming yourself down?

@Speckles iâve been there and the best thing you can do for yourself is not let the thoughts control you and do everything you can to focus on other things and maybe pick up on a hobby, get a job, or do something that makes you feel like youâre living a life. the only thing that got me out of that was forcing myself to get out of the house even though it scares the sh*t out of me bc i was scared of losing control. but i never did, it was always just a thought and nothing more. your thoughts canât control you, just think of it as a dumb pest that you can just squash everytime it bothers you

@Speckles and be kind to yourself as well. youâre still here and thatâs what matters. youâve done a great job already getting on this app and trying to get help. take it easy and donât be down on yourself for not getting out of bed, etc. just pay attention to the littlest things that make you happy. when i was in that state all i did was okay webkinz bc i loved it as a child and it distracted me. i went out and bought everything pink i could find and filled my room with trinkets. i didnât have an extravagant event that fixed my life, but i found happiness in small things.

@snoopdawg8913 - @snoopdawg8913. I wish I could get a job, but I'm not mentally there yet. It's stressful bc I want one, but I know I can't handle it. I feel really dumb and make a lot of mistakes b/c of my clogged head. Thanks so much for your support...I means a lot. I just keep holding on until this breaks. I was doing so well in June and July, working out and feeling good....wanting to be around people and then I just went down the tubes.

Absolutely had it and still have it from time to time, but one thing that helps me personally is to not focus on it, as difficult as that sounds, but definitely donât explain to yourself why thatâs not true. Itâs just a thought, thatâs all.
