Feelings of dread😭

Does anyone else experience feeling of dread or just wanting to quit life and give up. I notice I get like this after intrusive thoughts. Last night I had a bad one. I was up until 3am I couldn’t sleep because I was obsessing over the thought. I have harm OCD and it makes me fear that I could harm my husband. It’s awful he’s the best thing in my world and I just want all of this to stop😭😭 How do you guys deal with feelings like these. Do you experience dread? Also is night time worst for you?

It’s literally the saddest thing ever. Feeling like such a shell of the human I was once was somedays is hard. All you want is for it to just stop and go away. It feels like some sort of sick joke. Like you’re trapped under this world of pain and torment and no one understands just how difficult it is. I just keep trying to remind myself this is just a blip in time. Theres more life to live and I know it will eventually get better. I’ve beaten other subtypes before so although I can’t shed hope on myself I hope this helps you. You’re not alone.❤️‍🩹

hey there, i totally get how heavy and exhausting those waves of dread can feel, especially after a night of battling those intrusive thoughts. can't imagine how tough it must be dealing with harm ocd and having those fears about someone you love so much. i've got my own tangle with pure o, different obsessions, but that relentless loop? yeah, i know that all too well. just want you to know i'm here to listen anytime you need to vent or just talk it out. 🌟 i heard about this free AI tool called "unstuck" from my therapist (www.AIOCDtool.com), and honestly, it might be a good fit for what you're going through. it's like having a little pocket therapist that guides you through those overwhelming moments. you just type in what's bugging you, and it walks you through steps kinda like what an erp therapist would do. i'm not into promoting apps at all, but this one's been a lifesaver for me, and i really hope it can offer you some relief too. not trying to push it on you, just something that's helped me out a ton. if you've got any questions about it, i'm all ears. hang in there, we're in this fight together. 💪

if any responds to this, it would save my night. Just knowing there is someone there who understands. This past week my ocd has been worse than usually. My harm ocd is so terrible, violent thoughts and images fill my head and I can’t make it stop and the thoughts constantly are centered toward my family members. It’s so terrible I just feel like crying and I’m so heavy and empty inside. Does anyone else understand? Know what it’s like. All this fear and doubt. Are these my own thoughts? Why am I having these? Am I a psychopath? Do I want to do these things? And so on. I just want to scream. I’m so so scared and I feel sick to my stomach and I don’t want to be anywhere near my family right now. Help me please

Early morning ocd

Early morning havnt slept and ocd hasn't stopped for days I just want to be able to breath it's so debilitating in every way and I just feel the ocd thoughts start to pop ideas in my head and the things it comes up with like the worries are not just thoughts they are fully formed situations and very specific when I haven't even thought about it before it's like it forms this whole thing in my head subconsciously and then before I know it I'm chillin and then I'm just 50 ft under water drowning because it just throws a whole spacific situation at me that I never even thought of this effects me in every way possible and I just lay here misrible all day having seizer after seizer from stress being suicidal and just suffocating and so much more I just dread every moment I'm awake because the moment I am counsious it starts ugh it's every moment of my day just suffering so yeah really not looking forward to waking up 10 years of this and I'm exhausted the only relief I get is switching to another theme like i just wamma get pregnant so i csn obsess over that instead of what i am rn ot effects everyone around me and im just so miserable

MORNINGS ARE THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every single time I am dealing with a flare up the mornings are the worst. By the evening I am ok and think I conquered my OCD. Then here we go again all over again. WTH! I find it hard especially having Harm OCD because I am the first one to get up and my Husband and Daughter are sleeping at their most vulnerable state. I feel Frozen, I pant, my heart races and my stomach is doing roller coasters. Anyone in the same boat? any tips and what worked for you?
