question
Not reassurance seeking but is it possible to feel so overwhelmed by your thoughts that you feel like you are going insane š«

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, wellā¦ something bad will happen. Hate it - but true itās obsessions and the best think we can do in the moment is refocus

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.

@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

Tired of living in fear and questioning everything
Iām tired guys. Iām tired of thinking something is always wrong with my health, tired of letting random symptoms/ sensations take over my brain and make me think something is horribly wrong. Tired of thinking I need to go to the doctors to get X & Y looked at. Iām tired of always assuming worst case scenario. Iām tired of constantly thinking if something is unethical/ immoral if I donāt do something, tired of always thinking Iām offending a religious higher being, tired of thinking Iām a bad/ disgusting person for my thoughts. Iāve had OCD ruin so many things for me that should have been fun. Itās ruined intercourse/ intimacy because of religious thoughts, or I keep thinking about STDs/ infections. Iāve been having panic attacks lately, something Iāve never experienced, because of life changes and itās all gotten in the way of my structured life and itās been very uncomfortable. Lately Iāve been feeling like Iām in danger, or nothing is real. Right now Iām fearing the most that Iām losing my mind, who I am, and Iām just so scared of my mental health getting worse and going manic or developing a dangerous mental illness. My mental health has NEVER been this bad. This is all new and itās so scary. I was just fine a few months ago, sure I was dealing with other OCD stuff, the intrusive thoughts, the fears, the repetitive actions just to make sure something is the way I want it/ brings me comfort. But ever since my structure was changed/ ruined, itās all been downhill. I just finished an EMT program, and that messed with me. Saw/ experienced things Iāve never done before and man, itās really messed with me. Working on getting a new job in healthcare but still donāt have insurance so getting a new OCD specialized therapist has been difficult. Can someone relate just so I donāt feel like Iām crazy?..
