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 š¤

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 youāre 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 iāve 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 youāre 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 canāt 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. youāre still here and thatās what matters. youāve done a great job already getting on this app and trying to get help. take it easy and donāt 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 didnāt 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 donāt explain to yourself why thatās not true. Itās just a thought, thatās all.

How do I snap out of it? Any suggestions?
I'm new and I'm really trying to control thoughts of replaying interactions I've had or things I think might happen with the people around me. This is something constant, and it causes me to repeat actions. Then I lose track of time and often end up being late. It has always affected my sleep and becomes a part of my dreams, which are also always vivid. It's always been hard for me to get up. I just constantly keep replaying different outcomes of things that it haven't happened yet going over every possible outcome with no correct answer. I'm scared of what I might say and do when at work because it's been getting worse lately. I've been terrified of socializing, because I feel like I'm going to lose it every time I speak to someone. I work directly with people doing their hair. I don't want my clients or co-workers to catch me in the act of one of my rituals or it to effect the job that I'm doing. It just makes me angry that I haven't been able to control these thoughts and it makes the rituals worse. Then I feel embarrassed after I finally stop repeating whatever it is, I'm doing. I feel like I can't trust anyone, and Iām terrified but I know it's not real. I can't afford to lose it/show it.

What is this?
Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. Rn I was not even super annoyed at my neice but I felt a twinge of annoyance since she went up to my face and was yelling at me while I was resting on the bed and I got this image of doing something bad to her and I felt my hand twitch very little. I got nervous and felt relieved when her dad told her to stop screaming for no reason. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering???) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back??? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't know bc what do these twitches mean?, I do know I don't want to ever act out but it's so scary. Recently whenever I feel angry once the argument is over I cry really bad after I'm alone and I pray so i never want or act out. And when the annoyance passes I also feel so guilty and want to stay away. Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent urges or impulses and i also tend to ask chatgpt or here if the anxiety gets so bad š
