I went through this too, and my experience is similar. And I'm also a girl. I didn't know pOCD had a name at the time. I really thought that something was wrong with me and I almost killed myself. Something that has brought me a lot of peace is that it does have a name and that the reason it brings so much distress is because it goes against who I am. All those negative beliefs I feel about myself are false. It's the OCD telling me that. The world is better with you in it! You are not alone and you are not a terrible person.

What you’re describing sounds a lot more like OCD than any evidence of being a bad person. It reminds me of how I felt when I was in the throes of it. I know this probably isn’t what you want to hear, but are you doing therapy? I’ve never been able to solve anything without ERP, and unfortunately looking for support online can actually make things worse in the long run. But it’s totally worth it. My life is so much better than it was a year ago. It will get better. I promise.

@co140 Yes I experience them. Remember what you learned in therapy. Maybe try looking up “OCD radical acceptance” on YouTube.

anyone with ocd knowledge can help me?
i would like some advice please and i didn't get any responses 😭.. apologies for reposting but just need some thoughts on this 🥲 //// after frustrations with erp not working, i intentionally brought up the intrusive mental images as well as sensations during an exposure in trying to practice desensitizing myself to them. but now im scared that me purposefully bringing on the images and especially the disturbing outward sensations means that i did something bad or acted on my thought since i took the action to purposefully create and bring the disturbing intrusive images and thoughts and feelings. now it feels like not just a fear but reality. and my anxiety levels are just too much. i'm just feeling terrible and would like some thoughts or support
