Put “what if?” In front of the thoughts. Thats all it is is a question, it doesn’t have intention or desire. 😉 dont engage with it or argue. Its only a thought that you put too much weight on. Remember, everyone has intrusive thoughts! Even really, really weird things, but they don’t pay attention to it and it disappears.

i had this when i was 12 yrs old (i’m almost 19 for reference) eventually you learn to separate your true feelings from what ocd is making you think you feel. it does get easy and you realize at the end of the day you have the final say so, ocd can’t make you do anything that you don’t want

I’m serious, though, you really have to accept the fact that it’s not real, but on the other side, you have to accept that you have a mental illness. Our brains are physically different than a normal person. Have you ever noticed when you’re not thinking about anything at all and you’re just being yourself that none of this crap really bothers you? But if you have too much time to think then it bothers you? It’s a small problem that appears big. It’s not a big problem, it just appears big. It’s all an illusion. It’s just a trick your mind place makes it more real. Is the fact that it’s possible that’s it.

@Evoorhee And let’s face it in this world anything as possible so this is a lose lose situation for us. The key is to not engage.

this was so me before i even knew i had ocd!! obvi i didn’t rlly know what was going on but i was so so so scared. things i did that helped me move on from it were journalling thoughts which helped me gain objectivity. i also had some accidental exposures(?) when i had a call w my doctor who suggested that j might have a real problem/watching a film w a suicide scene, and both of them gave me a panic attack haha but afterwards i felt a lot calmer bc of how upset id been at the idea of it happening? but honestly it’s been 3 years and i thought id never move on from it but i absolutely have so im so so sure you’ll be okay :)))

urgent help needed
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out here because I know this community understands the daily battles of living with OCD. Recently, I hit a really dark place and tried to take my own life. It’s been hard to admit, but I’m still here, and I’m trying to find a way forward. OCD feels relentless sometimes—the intrusive thoughts, the constant doubt, the cycles that never seem to end. It became so overwhelming that I didn’t see a way out. I know I need help, and I’m working on reaching out to professionals, but I also wanted to connect here. To those who’ve been in a similar place: What helped you keep going? How do you manage the darkest moments when OCD takes over? I feel like I’m holding on by a thread, but I’m holding on. Any advice, words of encouragement, or personal experiences would mean so much to me right now. Thank you for reading this, and for being part of a space where we can be honest about our struggles.

please advice please!!!!
I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.
