I feel if it were poisoned it would taste funny. Not only that, the children you babysit probably eat the same foods, so it would risk the children of being poisoned too. I think you’re alright.

@dcj232 of all places, this forum is NOT a place to try to bring others down. And it is definitely not a place to joke about enjoying the prospect of death. Don’t comment on people’s posts if you’re going to behave that way

I’m sorry I stood up for the people in this forum who may be triggered by your coping mechanism, but it’s not a reason to become hostile. I’ve had this app for a long time, but I’ve never come into contact with who would be rude to another user until now ??♀️

Give some to the kids first. Just kidding! Because that would be a compulsion. Most people with ocd hate their lives, so if it's poisoned you get to die and not have ocd anymore. I'm also worried my blood is infected because my dog bled on me about a half hour after I got a cut. I'm worried he transmitted something to me. But hey, if I die, at least I won't have ocd anymore.

@dcj232 I just... don’t agree with that sentiment at all. Whether it’s satirical or not

@hazelnut I care about a lot of things I shouldn't. Unfortunately none of the things I care about are your opinion on my advice.

@dcj232 I understand that OCD might make one feel that way, but everyone is different. Some days are better than others.

@hazelnut wasn't joking. Not trying to bring others down. Telling you my coping mechanisms. There's really no point in lecturing me, this isn't the place for that. If you don't like the way I cope, ignore me. Don't accuse me of bringing you down. Like I said before, I was worried I have a blood disease. Decided if I do and I die, at least I won't have ocd. That's how I deal with my health ocd. You don't have to like it.

And all I’m implying is relaying that specific coping mechanism to others who are struggling could be severely triggering/detrimental. One of my coping mechanisms is having a cigarette, but I would never tell someone else to try that

@hazelnut my coping mechanism is thought oriented. It's a form of cbt. Smoking a cigarette is using addictive substances to self medicate. Not comparable, but if you did tell me to smoke, I'd decide not to and keep my mouth shut about it instead of going on and on about how it's not what I wanted to hear.

@hazelnut I've never encountered someone here who expects everything on here to make sense and that wants to argue or use subjective words toward people like "rude." We are all mentally ill here, so not everything we say is going to make sense to evrryone. I'm very used to people not understanding the way I think so I'm not surprised I guess. But to start arguing with someone who was trying to help? It's not productive for either of us. I'm bummed I couldn't help you, but not sorry. I was just being honest. I have no more to say, so since getting the last word is so important to you, you can have it. I'm not commenting on this anymore after this one. A lot of things on here don't make sense to me, I ignore them. I suggest you do the same or your going to end up in a lot of arguments. Arguing is just a waste of time. Find what helps you and focus on that. It's obviously not me so maybe don't pay attention to me.

This might contain triggering content, but I'm also wondering if others have dealt with this similar thought, and if so, how to deal with it? Overall, I've been doing so well these past few days. I'm able to eat again, which I hadn't been able to do because of how much anxiety I'd been experiencing. I'm spending time around loved ones and not just rotting in my room, and I've been able to wake up without immediately being bombarded by intrusive thoughts. When things first got really bad, I'd wake my mom up every night for reassurance, but I haven't done that in a while either. I'm really proud of myself, but there's still this nagging thought in my mind... While looking through others posts on here, hoping to find advice that'd fit my situation, I ended up making things worse. Someone mentioned how they had a fear that they'd purposely search for illegal content (related to POCD). I panicked, and "what ifs" flooded my thoughts. "What if the intrusive thoughts affect who I am as a person, and I do that?" I'm terrified that I'll search for those things, which I know means I wouldn't do it. But then, another person on here said they'd actually looked for those things, and that freaked me out even more. Does that mean it's possible for that to happen to me? I don't want to do that, but I keep having intrusive thoughts surrounding it. I've been doing so well these past few days. I'm just... stuck. I don't know what to do. I've spoken with other people who have the same fears, but how do I manage this? It's not something I've even thought about before seeing those posts. I've been practicing accepting the uncertainty, but I'm really struggling with this one. I hate this. This morning, I woke up, and the intrusive thoughts were back. It's just disheartening.

It's been a year since I've been able to stay home alone. I don't know how to fight this. I feel like the world will collapse on me. That the house will cave in. Or I'll just lose my mind and scream and run outside screaming and saying the world is falling type thing. I don't know how to help myself. I'm to scared to even try to be alone. I have to have my son 18 stay home with me or my aunt stay with me when my son does leave. It's horrible. I feel like I'm holding my son back from so much. I don't know how to beat this. Please help
