Don’t know what to do ?

It’s the beginning of the year and I’ve been feeling good for a couple of months but now that the years started I feel really bad. I’m scared my thoughts are going to last forever and I’ll always have these off and on mood changes. Idk how to explain these thoughts to my family or the people I love because Idk how to explain how I feel. Sometimes I start to have thoughts that I don’t deserve good things and I start to distance myself but I don’t want to. Do you guys have any recommendations for what I can do to not think of these thoughts or how I can go back to where these thoughts never existed?

I'm here for you, I get I don't deserve thoughts with the strong emotions they bring as well. The thoughts are relentless and I, also am not sure how to stop it. I don't have any recommendations for you unfortunately, but just know that you're not alone and I'm here for you.

Hi there, I wish I had more encouraging advice for you, but I do want to say that as scary as these thoughts are you aren't alone. I have certainly experienced the feelings like I don't deserve good things. Professional therapy is always the best answer, but as for what you can do for yourself at any moment is try telling yourself out loud that you deserve good things in your life. I have always been skeptical of advice like that because it just straight up feels like that wouldn't do a thing. But when you realize that you telling yourself you don't deserve good things so much made you believe it, then the opposite can be true, too. You can just say something as simple as "I deserve good things" out loud as much as you can and eventually your brain will start to realize that it's true

This is exactly how i feel and i tried explaining to my partner “i wish i could just go back to a month ago” and she told me that i need to give that up and that what matters is what i DO now and that i keep living my life as present as i can and thats motivating me to continue to battle this, this too shall pass and nothing stays the same, that includes the bad, the bad doesn’t stay.

Guilt and depression

My intrusive thoughts make me feel so evil. I know they are not real but I feel so alone. I know that none of my friends and family would truly understand my thoughts. I feel so wrong all the time as I if I don’t deserve any love and help. I don’t know how much longer I could live like this. This all started a little over 2 weeks ago. I started spiraling but now I feel out of control. Like my brain is having its own party while I’m locked inside of a cage. Any words of encouragement? I don’t understand I used to have a normal life doing what I wanted and thinking freely and then all of a sudden my mind started spiraling. Has this happened to anyone ? Does anyone understand?

Just some late night thoughts

So I’m going to college soon and every time I think about it, I feel like the odd one out because of my intrusive thoughts. Like I literally feel like an “intruder” going to school because of how my thoughts make me feel. This is also every time I talk to my friends, my brain is like “your friends are talking to a future criminal”. I just feel like I don’t deserve to be there and have good memories and like my thoughts are inevitable. I feel like a completely different person from who I was before June. Of course I have had these thoughts throughout my life, but nothing that stuck longer than a week or two. It’s so weird how one day your perfectly happy and the other you feel like a completely different person. Furthermore, while these thoughts don’t make me happy and provide anxiety, those feelings feel so forced sometimes. Also I’m sure a lot of us do this, but when I think of the thought and want to feel disgust (as one does), it feels like I’m forcing that feeling. During the beginning of June I was nauseated by these thoughts and crying most days, now they just feel annoying more than anything because there’s nothing I can really do to provide relief. I constantly am questioning whether this is me or not and at this point I don’t even know. I feel like the thoughts have gradually went from making me want to vomit to questioning whether I would actually do it. Anyone else?

I need to rant

Hi, so I’ve been dealing with OCD for the past four years intrusive thoughts and all. At first it started with being scared of panic attacks then the thoughts went to being scared I’d harm myself and now they’re associated around harming other people especially my family which is very very scary. It feels like I’m deeply rooted a bad person. I can’t even tell anyone my thoughts. It also makes me confused on if I want these thoughts. I’m not even sure if I have any compulsions bc I try to just ignore the thoughts and distract myself. Lately I’ve noticed my anxiety getting a lot worse Notjhing seems to calm it down anymore and I just want to stay alone in my bed and make it all go away. I’m scared I’m scared of myself and I’m scared these thoughts could happen one day and I’m scared I want them. Sometimes my thoughts can make me feel like that… does anyone have any good resources im doing ERP but it’s so expensive. I haven’t tried medication but I want to I’m just scared it will make me worse or make me gain weight. But I’m at the point where I’m desperate and something needs to change bc I can’t live like this. I feel like I’m fighting my thoughts all day. And one second I feel confident I’m ok and the next my whole body gets hot and I feel like it’s all possible and I want these thoughts. Someone please give me advice?
