Anyone want to talk?
Does anyone needs to talk about their struggles or just literally anything?

i feel like my ocd is making me dangerous. i’m getting so scared. i’m driving and i have a thought of me jerking the wheel and hitting a car and then my body kinda flinches or jerks a tiny bit to the side and then i have so much anxiety like that’s evidence that i just tried to hurt someone. i don’t know what to do or how to survive this

@virginia31 i feel like it’s developed into more than a thought. like my body jerks the wheel slightly to the left. and makes me feel like even if i don’t want to hurt someone my body will just do it. i feel like i’m losing control over my body

@carriejenson Maybe you can start by practicing doing smaller things that makes you anxious, so the more you achieve, the more you will the control is already in you. Driving is a really hard thing for people who has ocd. Instrusive thoughts makes it harder to proceed. You didnt try to hurt someone, you sled in your thoughts, if you had the intention then you wouldn't be overthinking it right? What else do makes you feel anxious? Anything smaller/easier tham driving?

Im graduating college in May and next week is my last week of school and Ill will be done after 6 years in college. I want to graduate more than anything and I know it’s the best thing to do to graduate and that’s what I want. But I keep having intrusive negative thoughts that keep telling me to drop out last minute before finals it’s like I want to self sabotage myself to not allow myself to have life that I want. I’m nervous that I’m going to unconsciously withdrawal from all my classes in the last week and ruin for myself. I’m nervous I’m just going to give to these thoughts to make them stop. this is what I want more than anything so I wish I did not have these thoughts. I just want to finish out this last week and be done. There would be no reason why I need to withdraw. I’m perfectly fine in my class and I’m passing and I like these classes. I hate OCD but i will not let these thoughts have their way!

Of course you won't I believe in you!! Remember, as you said they are "thoughts" and they dont have to come to reality. Remind yourself everyday you're under your own control and that thoughts doesnt have to mean necessarily anything. I believe in you and Im proud of you for fighting. Good job on your studys and everything. You're awesome!

I’m sorry if I go on a rant but but I’ve been struggling this whole week due to harm ocd and honestly I don’t even know if it’s ocd because I haven’t been diagnosed with it or even been near a therapist or psychiatrist so I’m just really self diagnosed and it sucks because I’m in the last month of my high school and I’d hate to look back and just sad to end my last year of high school like this

You can vent however you like, no need to feel sorry. I hope you get professional help because from personal experience, face to face sessions help a lot, and being diagnosed gets you out of the uncertainty. Dont feel sad about it, everything is an experience and every part of our life has a different beauty. I am in highschool and personally Im not enjoying school, dealing with ocd at the same time. Im sorry to hear that youre struggling, but really it gets better. Youre not alone in this

@sepsomeone I really appreciate it but it sucks that I started high school off with health ocd and it affected me until the very near end of my freshman year and now senior year I’m goin to end it with harm ocd I just want to get a free therapist or atleast pay for my own because I don’t want my mom to pay or know that I’m suffering with this

@ElChavodel275 Have you tried this app for therapists? Im sorry that youve been dealing it for so long, be proud of yourself. How do you think your mom would react if you tell her? Are you scared that she might get hurt if you tell her?

@ElChavodel275 I think your mom would like to know what you struggle from, what do you think? Maybe it can be really helpful if you talk about your struggles with a loved one

If you like them you should give it a change, maybe you will be able to reassure each other and overcome your ocds, it can turn out to be great

Does anybody need/wish to talk?
Happy New Year's Eve! I know this time of year might leave us feeling down. If anyone has anything they want to talk about, or if you'd like to vent/talk about something getting you down, or if you just want to chat, or anything, I'd love to listen! :) It can or doesn't have to do with the holidays. (And don't worry about being a downer on a holiday, I'd like to listen if you want to talk about anything that's bothering you) If you need something specific out of a conversation (i.e. you just want me to listen and don't want me to comment or give my opinions or thoughts), let me know and I'd be happy to oblige! And, of course, I'm no therapist. Just thought I'd give that disclaimer. Also, if I respond in a way that seems like the conversation would logically be over but you still want to talk, I'll still be ready to listen! Sometimes I don't have a bunch to comment, but I'll listen for as long as you want to talk! And here's a fire for a fireside chat if you want 🪑🔥🪑🛋 Love you guys!

Do you think I should talk to someone.
I’m at the lowest I’ve been I’m in just declining. First time in my life where the thought of ending it popped into my mind. I’m not going to but that’s just how bad it’s gotten. Should I tell someone I know and trust about my mental health battle

Help please support
I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
