So i think i learned alot in this week, i was looking at the wrong thing cause i thought what i need to change is my emotions. Ive been searching why do i feel like this or that, why do i have bad reactions to some things but then i learned the emotions are just my reactions to thoughts, so the actual problem is thoughts. And i know people say dont try to change thoughts but people who actually understand ocd knows that your belief system what is making you have ocd, we have some distortions that we have to change. This is kinda misunderstanding for me too cause when i start to view it like this i see it like these thoughts has more meaning than just thoughts, like i gave them much more importance. I have suicidal ocd, and sometimes it feels so real. And working with that like this makes me think sometimes that i actually have a belief system that would make me act on this thought or if it not, i still have a belief system that supports suicide and those times i feel bad. Today i had a triggering moment too, so my suicidal ocd sometimes can be triggered really easily, like im listening a song and in the song i hear the lyric "i cant live without you" and im suddenly get the feeling and thoughts of "i dont want to live like this, i dont accept this". Funny is that nothing happens in real life, i jusz make a story up and then i feel like in that situation i couldnt survive, and yeah its not real but the thing that i have that thought and feeling of despair that i couldnt live, just scares me. Today i got got attacked by this, and i realized i pushed away the feelings cause i was so scared, but this just made me feel like theres an actual problem and im actually have a belief system deep down that supports suicide...im just denying it... i have to face it. And viewing like this doesnt make me think its ocd anymore its more like a real problem which makes me feel scared and guilt
