Can ocd do this? Is this part of ocd?

I was watching a video about mental health and self hatred was mentioned and as i was listening it, i started feel anxious and then i was like "i hate myself its so bad" and i started to feel depressed. This happened in the past alot of times and with different topics too, but now i was more aware and i could notice, this isnt true. If i would go to therapy and i would tell that i feel depressed cause i hate myself, we would work on loving myself, but now i was aware that its not that the problem. I felt really sad, cause i believed the thought that i hate myself, when i dont, i just struggle a bit now and i cant feel that big loving feeling towards myself as in normal days, and i interpreted that as i hate myself, so i started feeling sad about it. Is this part of ocd? Alot of times it happened that i had a really strong thought like this, i had like "youre depressed, youre a narcisisst, youre suicidal or i was suicidal in the past" and i believed these thoughts, expecially when the feeling of sadness came with them, it was hard to not believe them.

Oh dear I thought it was just me. I had a similar experience. On one hand I learned that people who have ocd are most of the time anxious and have very low self esteem from the start, the whole need for certainty and overthinking because we don't trust ourselves. On the other hand, I think it may be an ocd fixation of ours, thinking that we need to fix something or else we will be unhappy and catastrophising. Or maybe both. I think the best thing to do is to try to be happy, do your daily tasks, stay in reality and ignore everything ocd says, just everything negative that comes to mind. At least this is what makes me better

And i want to add to the part where i said "i just struggle a bit now and i cant feel that big loving feeling" this is a huge problem for me cause alot of times i interpret thigs like this "if the feeling is not there, than that meand something". I think this isnt true cause when you feel really sad its impossible to feel happy too and love yourself, i talk about feelings not doings. And this is what i need to learn, that if i dont have that feeling there now it doesnt mean something. I had the same problem with suicidal ocd, that in hard times i didnt felt like life is good, and that certain "lets move on" feeling was not there and i interpreted that as i want to die, and yeah i felt depressed about that. I went to therapy to someone who doesnt know ocd and we worked on love but now i know itd not that the problem. I believe my thoughts so easily and i misinterpret emotions or the absence of an emotions

So i hope that with this i can help some that if you feel something or you dont have a feeling what you usually have, that doesnt mean anything. Its just that all of your power and awarness goes to one or more negative emotions and the good ones goes to the backround

hey there, i totally get what you're going through. it sounds really tough when those intrusive thoughts hit and try to convince you of things that aren't true about yourself. i've got pure o myself, and even though my obsessions are different, that feeling of getting stuck in a loop with your thoughts? i totally relate. it's rough, and i'm here to listen if you need to vent or talk it out. i actually heard about this free ai tool from my therapist, called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com), and i think it could be a good fit for what you're experiencing. it's designed to help you when you're feeling overwhelmed by ocd, kind of like having a therapist in your pocket. you just type in what's on your mind, and it guides you through the steps to help you manage those thoughts. for your situation, where you're dealing with these intense, self-critical thoughts, "unstuck" could help you navigate them without getting pulled down by the sadness they bring. i know app recommendations can be annoying, but i promise i'm not trying to sell you on anything. this tool has honestly been a lifesaver for me, and i just want to share something that might help you out too. if you've got any questions about it, feel free to hit me up. here for you 🤗✨

I need to know if someone else experience this because I think this may be the root of some of my ocd themes. So basically even when I don't really have a theme going on I get intrusive thoughts of different topics. For example if I'm reading an article about a person with ADHD my mind tells that maybe I have adhd and because if I had I'd be different, and it feels like I want to even though I don't do because I know how destressing it is to live with such disorders and who would ever want to develop a disorder like that. I get intrusive thoughts like about illnesses, identities and other things and my mind says that I have to have those things because they would make me different and my mind wanted me to be different in that way. And it felt like I wanted those things even tho I know how terrible they affect people and didn't really wanted to have them. Now it tells me the same thing about gender and sexuality that I have to be different in that way while I don't and it's causing me hocd right now. I guess this is my final answer but I wanted to know if somebody else experienced something like this. Like sometimes I get depressive episodes because of my anxiety and ocd but once I became obsessed with the idea of having chronic severe depression and I got so anxious but then felt relieved when I didn't but then my intrusive thoughts would pop up here and there

Okay i will be honest cause i had enough of this

My question is can Ocd gives you feelings of the horrible inteusive thought that you have are things you want like the harm thought you have, you have a feeling of "i want to do this cause i feel like it, i will enjoy it" Yesterday i got really angry cause i did something bad,then i wanted to focus on something else but a deep feeling of "no i want to feel this pain" came that really made me scared, and i had to let myself feel that everything is bad, im alone, nobody will help, i wanted to shift my attention but the feeling of no this is an authentic feeling just pushed me back,then all of this created a thought and a feeling of i should die, nothing will be better... since then im terrified that im actually suicidal or not, cause when i want to feel better,i get this feeling of i dont want to feel good,.i want to feel bad cause everything is bad, and i feel terribble and hopeless about this. Can this be ocd? Another one,the harm thoughts, whenever i have one i have a feeling to and thoughts that says i would enjoy that. Im really asking this cause i had enough...

Is this still ocd?

is this still ocd? Hi all. Last week my ocd has been ramping up. Started with some horror theme and moved to a sensational theme. But now it latched onto something ive never had before. It has not latched onto any theme actually the only thing right now happening is that there is this thought or feeling, not sure how to describe it, but whenever this feeling or thought arises it nullifies all my confidence, motivation, progression, it just takes out all the energy and positivity and replaces it with this feeling of endless sadness, despair, depression, nothingness, this happens within a split Second whenever i think for example; no matter what ill keep trying! And then boom that feeling or thought takes over and its all gone. It's almost as if it's something that will always he there, a 'thing' inside nullifiying anything positive, helpfull, but even emotions of love. I have to emphasize that wahat comes out with this feeling everytime again is the thought; no one in the worldnhas ever hwd thisbweird experience before, its just me. Yes I know other people have ocd, but my mind tells me no one has ever had this 'inner' part which cannot be described because it roes not feel like a thought, an emotion or whatever, just a 'thing' that is there and always will be there. I mean ive had many ocd themes but this would bot categorize under any of those themes, so how can i know this really is ocd?;ive searched the web and forums trough many...many Posts and none of them revolve around this undescribable thing, or whatever it is? Whenever I try and label this thing for myself just as I'm trying in this post, it steps up its game and gives this feeling of nullifying my effort describing it, it basically does the same it does with other things it gives out this feeling of sadness, desperation, depression etc whenever i try to describe it wo i can ask others to help me. Up until now while writing this it feels like this thing keeps going deeper and deeper just to make sure it cant be identified. Am i making any sense? or am i losing my mind?
