not asking for ressurance just asking a question?

can ocd make you feel stuck like if there is no way out and make you have the thoughts sometimes when ur with a certain friend or parent and then the thoughts will come like “what if i hurt myself and wonder what so so and reacts” then i’m like oh my gosh they would be so devastated i’m trying to sit with thoughts and sit with the anxiety and im rlly tired right now i’m trying not to do compulsions.. but sometimes the thoughts will tell me to “do it” and it’s like urges then that’s when i tense up does this happen??

Not doing your compulsions will make your urges and anxiety go up temporary, until you start to not feel worried about the obsession anymore. Keep trying , it is good that you’re not doing the compulsions and you will slowly feel less stress as you continue to not do the compulsions. Breaking free from the OCD cycle really can be stressful. Treating ocd is hard , stay strong

@savannahframe19 Ocd can sometimes fell like a trap you will never escape from. But that is not true, keep working on treating your ocd and you will slowly get better.

@savannahframe19 Learning how sit with ocd is hard and takes time, be patient with yourself, and just keep working on it and you will slowly get there.

@savannahframe19 I also feel upset hearing someone with ocd have become s*icidal.It is heart breaking and makes you feel worried your ocd will make you that way. Being s*icidal and having s*icidal ocd are two different things. When I have thoughts of hurting myself i treat them like ocd. I recommend always treating ocd thoughts as ocd and not real thoughts. Ocd is not logical and ocd has no meaning it is a fear and anxiety disorder. Ocd is hard stay strong. I recommend trying to make time it do what you love , even though ocd is driving you crazy. I find being with friends and family also reminds me , who I am and what makes me happy .My IG is brooke._.p if you ever what to talk.

@savannahframe19 I would recommend asking for the code from whoever you’re thinking about maybe getting therapy from and showing your insurance so they can tell you how much it would be after coverage.

@Brooke cookie Nocd gives you the code when you do the first free call to set an appointment. If you’re thinking about maybe looking into them.

Maybe we can all make a group chat since we all have suicidal ocd?? That would be so helpful at least for me to have someone to talk to!!! 😭😭❤️

What do you say to OCD when you have harm urges?

I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?

don’t know what’s happening to me

i haven’t been diagnosed with ocd but I have anxiety about harming other people/family members and it’s like urges and im scared I actually want to do it? I don’t think I’ve ever been violent as a kid (im 21 now) and the intrusive thoughts don’t go away so im just stuck all day everyday for the past few weeks just thinking and being scared about it and im having all these weird emotions like being irritated and angry I don’t want to hurt people I don’t think idk why my mind is making me think I do I’ve had intrusive thoughts before that I could brush away sure it took like a day or two but this one is different it doesn’t go away and leaves me with the worst fear imaginable and nothing I look up that should be giving me relief is giving me relief + I feel like im not in control of my body and that im just gonna lose it and act on these thoughts it’s just all on a loop and im not sure how im supposed to live the rest of my life when im in constant fear of my self

kind of a rough day

i’m trying to not let the thoughts bother me but it’s just so stressful. even me typing that feels like i’m lying when i know i’m not. i’m scared because even my therapist tells me that it’s just ocd, but in the back of my mind i slightly don’t believe her, and its making me scared that i AM like those people and im gonna act on something. sometimes in social moments i get a quick thought of me being an outcast because im like those people who are sick in the head and act on that stuff, and it just makes me feel like i truly am gonna eventually act on something. another thing that bothered me is earlier my mom yelled at me for not doing school work (it was well deserved im really slacking on it) and i had like no reaction to her screaming. it had me thinking what if i have no empathy etc etc, and what if i get mad that she yelled at me and i do something involving those thoughts. how do i TRULY know it’s ocd? like i try to remind myself and be like “dude, your therapist said it’s ocd, she isn’t wrong” but the back of my mind is like “she is wrong, it’s not ocd and she just happened to misdiagnose you. you are gonna act on those thoughts and it’s your fate”. please someone respond if you read all of this, im really struggling
