Question about suicidal ocd
I've learned alot about this type of ocd, and i still have to say, this is my hardest one to deal with. Its hard cause when i try to ignore, it makes me feel like i get the wrong treatment, when i actually should get the treatment that suicidal people get, and this made me get reassurance seeking alot of times cause i went and talked with people about this as a real problem and it always ended up like me wanting them to say im not actually suicidal. That doesnt happened always, actually one of my therapist said that i have suicidal tendecies, and that was the time i started not trusting her and eventually i left. I learned more outside therapy, for me youtube videos helped more than any therapist ever could. Now i know what to expect from ocd, yet today i questioned again. Its because i compare myself with otherw. Alot of times i see ocd portrayed as "i just got a random thought while i was enjoying my life" and yeah i had that too but also many times the thoughts had a reason to come, and also an emotion. Im dealing with a problem today and i got exhausted by anger and it got so bad that suicidal thoughts came and because the anger i felt it was strong and sadness came with it too so for some seconds it was like all this is genuine, but then i was like wait i dont want that, but the two thing started to go with a war and i felt anxious. After that i remembered back in the days this was the time when i started having panic or and emotional attack cause the two things(that i want and i dont want to do it) felt exhausting and i couldnt decide what is the truth. And because suicidal ocd is always portrayed by just a random thought, i said well then i might have a real problem. So this is when i started falling in ocd. And now that i had the same experience I question again cause i feel like i just put the "ocd" label to that to feel better, or im avoiding real problem or to get the right treatment. I also have problem with this cause i hear everyone say "everyone has these kind of thoughts" but i was open about my struggle and i asked others and many times the answer was "no i didnt thought about that" so this made me feel that okay this might be a problem then... its just strange if its ocd why do i get these thoughts when i get really angry, and i follow it until i get scared cause i realize its leads me to a bad place. This always makes me think that there might be a problem cause ocd is just the obsession and fear about something, but that when im angry or feel really bad and i turn into these thoughts or i get these thoughts, like theres no obsession or fear... it comes after that. So my question is do you get it with outside problems like when youre suffering and you just get these thoughts and go with it before you get anxious or you just get the random thought when youre living your life?
