This thought led me to a darker place I felt so afraid I would disassociate and become something I couldn't recognize anymore and do horrible things. Don't go down that road best do therapy asap. I let it get out of control now I have to undo 10 years of ocd and compulsion

I have experienced this too. You feel like you are in a really bad place where you don’t know if you can fix it. It’s really hard, I definitely understand, but just know it can be fixed. Just try and think of positive thoughts along the way and try not to focus on the negative things. Try and think of all the ways you are Blessed by Jesus Christ. It’s hard to feel Peace sometimes, but just know that God is working in your life 24/7 even if you don’t see it sometimes :) And through Jesus you can overcome anything! Just know that you are not alone in this. 🌸

I know that hell.. it's dark and depressing and extremely Scary.. I have been dealing with it for most of my life but it has only been the last 2 years since I have been diagnosed with ocd.. Erp therapy has helped me and I can now see and feel bit more hopeful about the future.. my husband died 2002, he was 37 and our daughter was 8.. I began having hallucinations, was psychotic and grieving. I had diagnoses that were schizoaffected, bipolar and personality disorder. Years of antipsychotics mood stabilizers and anti-anxiety medication sometimes. Did not help. Except for possibly giving me side effects that we're making my OCD worse and therapy that wasn't working. My OCD was religious pedophile scrupulosity and existentialism OCD. Hang in there! I know how difficult the Dark Places can be. Just hang on.

Years of constant Anxiety leading to Panic attacks
I am trying to see if there are others like me. For the past 12 years, I’ve had crippling Anxiety that leads to intense panic attacks. I’ve been in and out of Ambulances and ER rooms and have called 911 several times. The panic is that intense. I can be just driving down the road and out of no where, BOOM! Hit by the anxiety bus. Most of the time it leads to me panicking, thinking I’m going to die or something is fatally wrong with me. The fear is so intense that I can only find a fraction of calmness by consistently checking my blood pressure, putting on a pulsometer and even checking my blood sugar until it passes. I’m not even a diabetic. I’m always having intrusive thoughts that doctors can’t even fix me. I’ve never met anyone else like me. I feel so scared sometimes that I’m going to loose my mind and that I’m going crazy and will end up in a straight jacket. Then I get another attack just thinking about that as well. Starting new medications freak me out too. If I experience ANY minor side effect, I immediately panic and freak out. I’m being so held back by this . This is a constant obsession that I can’t shake. It’s like I walk hand in hand with Anxiety and panic. Anyone else ever had these issues?

fear of losing control??
I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.

Do you ever feel like you’re dying?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?
