please help.

I usually don’t write this much in the detail, but now I’m really scared, please help. So I had this “basic” intrusive thought if you don’t do that that will happen and of course I couldn’t resist and did it. But the problem is the thing I did is to put in mouth just a little (i mean really just a little) body lotion. In the past my I was really scared of getting anything like that in my mouth. Really scared. When I did put (really just a little lotion) in my mouth I immediately spit it out. But then my other side of ocd started acting up and I started to panick. Now i’m VERY scared i’ll get posioned and die. I researched a lot on google, and now I feel like I’m having some of the symthoms. I should go to sleep now, but I can’t forget this. Is there anything to worry about? (thank you for every answer, this is kind of embarrasing)

Take some deep breaths, pause your research, and set a timer for 1 hour. During the timer, try to just watch something on tv or go for a safe walk with music if you can.

In my past experience, my ocd was always making me do things I didn’t want to sometimes stuff like your mentioning. The thoughts may be in control but you control the rest meaning your actions. the awareness that you are not your ocd, separate the two. You are building yourself to be a ocd conquer but sometimes you might have times where it feels like you give in and that’s ok! Nothing is embarrassing when it comes to OCD cause there’s so many people (including me) that go or have gone through similar stuff. You rock!

First of all don’t be embarrassed! Compulsions like that are so very hard to quit. I know, as a young kid I would have to put paper and food off the floor in my mouth just so “something” else wouldn’t happen. It went as far as garbage one day. I told myself I’m not ever doing that again and nothing is going to happen if I stopped. Eventually I stopped and nothing my OCD said would happen actually happened. I know that’s easier said than done. The little bit of lotion like you said is not going to kill you or harm you. But stay strong and do your best not to give in to the urge. OCD is full of lies!!

Google gives you information but Google doesn’t know a lot of stuff like how much you ingested and the specific details so at times it can feel scary to see what it says

Google is really good at convincing you there is something really bad going on!! I'm so sorry you are going through this. Maybe you could try telling someone, and they could help you feel more rational? :) I hope you get better soon

Just drink lots of water to flush what is in your system which is probably nothing but might make you feel better, a little bit won’t poison you. ❤️‍🩹 Big hugs

I'm really scared I've poisoned myself... ....I dyed my hair yesterday evening and had a shower after and some of the water was still stoned with the dye. This evening I had a shower and the after still seemed a bit tinted. Some of the water (that must have gone through my dyed hair) ran down my face and into my mouth. I spat out a few times and I accidently swallowed. I'm now really worried am going to die in my sleep from poisoning :(

Hey guys, I'm really scared, someone PLEASE reply (POCD 18+) Okay, so tonight I was beginning to feel better about my obsessions and began to feel like maybe I was actually making progress. But I feel terrified rn, I'm scared because I used to watch hentai and cartoon stuff when I was younger, I'm 19, I would look up certain anime stuff or cartoons, but I started feeling happy that I probably stopped when I was 15. But now I'm terrified, I used to watch the tv show Big Mouth on Netflix but stopped after I started feeling uncomfortable with the show since it is really graphic. But I'm scared that I may have watched porn about the show while I was watching it. I don't really have strong memories about it but I'm terrified because that would have been when I was 16. I'm so scared, my friend said that "worst-case scenario, say you did, it's just a drawing at the end of the day" but I'm really scared. I'm really grossed out, I don't know what to do, I was just starting to maybe feel better but I don't even know anymore, I'm terrified, what do you guys think???

Kinda scared 😞

So I was eating dinner and drinking soda. After I was done drinking it I pulled the soda cap off (the thing on the soda cans you pull up to open the can) and I realized there was a tiny piece of metal that fell into the can. I went to go a drink another sip but then realized that the tiny piece of tin was still in their. I immediately spit out the drink. But now I’m so scared I accidentally swallowed that tiny piece. I keep replaying what happened in my head to see what happened but I can’t remember and now I’m scared it’s gonna poison me and I’m gonna not wake up tomorrow 😭 I’m just having time dealing with the uncertainty rn
