Scared

Recently my anxiety has been bad because it gets worse when I'm at college. All I can think about is death and "what if this happens to me" and it's hard for me to picture myself in the future because I just feel like something is going to happen to me. Then the topic of suicide will pop in my head even though I don't want to die but it just makes me uncomfortable thinking about it and freaks me out. I've been telling myself " what if in my sleep I unconsciously harm myself" this sounds so crazy but genuinely gives me anxiety.

It doesn’t sound crazy at all! I know how you feel , have you tried going to therapy with a specialist?

God loves you! I would bet you love life and that is why OCD picks on that. NOCD therapy will help you see the content of your thoughts does not matter. All OCD wants is a compulsion. It stays alive thru compulsions. That is why it picks on what you value to get a reaction (compulsion) from you. Listen to Reid Wilson. Dr. Mcgrath’s Wednesday night Q and A sessions are on YouTube. You are NOT alone!

I've been feeling this exact same way. Recently I took a "death and dying" class thinking it would be an interesting elective and it ended up putting me in a spiral thinking about my own mortality which led me to downloading this app. I know I want to live but the anxiety and thoughts can get so overwhelming I don't know what to do other than curl up in bed and desperately wish I could feel normal again

For the past month and a half I’ve been getting horrible thoughts that I’m going to die soon and I keep seeing things on the news about 18 year olds dying and I’m scared it’s a sign because I’m 17 and my head keeps telling me somethings going to happen before I turn 18 or when I turn 18. I’ve also got a constant feeling in my gut that something bad is going to happen to me and it never goes away it’s a horrible feeling and I don’t know what to do. My head also keeps telling me I’m ready to die which I’m not I don’t want to, I’m living my life in fear and I’m really scared it’s not anxiety. Could this just be my mind daring me to think these things like the feeling I’m ready to die etc or is it my gut trying to tell me something and it’s sending me signs. I’m really scared. Please help.

Scared of future

OCD definitely makes me feel like my future is nothing but bad. A bunch of what ifs and it feels super anxiety inducing. I remind myself that no matter how bad my life gets, I never want to harm myself or end my life. I want to get through each struggle in a healthy manner. I just have a fear of bad things happening in my life and Im scared how I would react to it. My OCD is definitely super anxiety inducing and I would love for anyone to share their thoughts.
