I feel the same way, having harm thoughts around the ones that I love and are the closest to me. Feels like you are going insane. This is OCD and you need to fight the compulsions, mine are mostly rumination and over analyzing. Donāt do any compulsions, physical or mental.
Feeling this right now, itās almost like you feel like you need to do something but you donāt know what youāre supposed to be doing, like something is wrong, but you donāt know what, so you donāt know how to fix it
@Anonymous Exactly - I have felt like I need to āthink something all the way throughā and if I donāt, well⦠something bad will happen. Hate it - but true itās obsessions and the best think we can do in the moment is refocus
Yes... feeling like I need to commit myself. I feel like I'm insane right now. I know what you are feeling
Yes! Sometimes so much noise and sounds and images and strings of conversation and radio static and just like so much going on in my head I want to scream ābe quiet!!ā Itās the worse and made me feel like Iām going to lose it.
Oh my gosh yes š it is a terrible feeling and you are not alone
@sunshineandrainbows I feel like I need to go to the psych ward or something
@Anonymous I can tell you right now that it does get better! You arenāt alone in those feelings and yes itās scary but you are most definitely not alone
Yup
@Santo123# I feel like Iām actually going crazy and Iāll lose control
@Anonymous OCD feels as real as it can get. I struggle with harm OCD and have this same fear of losing control. Disregard all thoughts, feelings, sensations over and over again and slowly itāll get better
Iām going through this as well. Itās almost as if youāre not inside your body.
Yes going through it rn
How are you now?
@Lilly2442! A lot better
@Savhatesocd Any advice that helped because I feel the same way you did šš» I have a fear of losing control
When im around family everything feels under control and normal and i believe that I am not struggling with anything. Almost as if im living in a bubbleā¦But the moment i am alone i start questioning myself, my experiences, my thoughts, my emotions. I start worrying over small things or become focused on my body sensations when i think that food will not sit well with me, feel sad and emotionalā¦.idk i feel like this sounds crazy and stupid coming from a 28 year oldā¦.
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry Iām going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insaneš¢
