Guys my harm ocd is so bad im really scared ill just go crazy and do something terrible. Is this okay. I feel really bad as I just panicked but I dont know hwo to talk to ppl about these thoughtd about others
im sorry you’re going through this i know it’s not easy at all. i had similar experiences in the past. you are not your thoughts, despite how real they might feel. you have complete control over yourself even though it may not feel like it. it IS okay, its just a part of your ocd and does not make you a bad person at all
@curefan6 @hie5 Yeah do you ever get this overwhelming feeling that feels like its in your brain and head and chest thats like youll do it like its rlly overwhelming xx Im sorry for asking
@carol.xxx i do!! it’s an awful feeling. for me it almost burns in my chest and is generally very uncomfortable and extremely overwhelming :(
I get what you mean cause I have that fear too, it’s ok to talk about this stuff there’s people who understand and are in the same boat as you
@hie5 Yeah do you ever get this overwhelming feeling that feels like its in your brain and head and chest thats like youll do it like its rlly overwhelming
@hie5 Thank you xx
@carol.xxx Yeah, I usually feel it in my brain/head, chest and stomach. Then I start feeling nauseous. It takes a lot of energy to try and make yourself focus on the present moment rather than the thoughts/urges or whatever, it’s the only thing I can think of that might help. It’s easier said than done I know, remember don’t be too hard on yourself for having these thoughts, feelings or urges
You’re definitely not alone on this one ❤️
People often talk about their experiences with OCD as if they’re on a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs. It’s a fitting analogy! Just like rollercoasters, which can feel scary but also thrilling, OCD can bring a mix of intense feelings. You might wonder why people enjoy rollercoasters even though they can be frightening. The answer is that they provide a safe way to experience fear and excitement, giving an adrenaline rush without real danger. In a similar way, the spiraling thoughts of OCD can create a kind of mental "high." Some people even call it "mental masturbation" because it can feel addictive But here’s the catch: after a while, riding this nonstop rollercoaster can wear you out. Your mind and body may want to break free from the cycle, but the urge to stay in it can be strong. What helps me is reminding myself that these thoughts are just imaginary scenarios. I have the power to stop this ride whenever I want. When I find myself caught up in those thoughts, I try to take a walk or dive into a hobby I enjoy. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to dislike these rollercoaster thoughts. Many people have successfully learned to manage their OCD, and you can too! It might not be easy, but with practice and the right strategies, you can take back control of your thoughts and live a more peaceful life. You’ve got this! Have a great day! 😊
I’m out of energy my cod feels at its worst I actually feel like I’m bad and there is something wrong with me I feel numb I can’t cry or be anxious over anything and I don’t know what to do because I don’t feel normal now it feels like I’m bad. I had this stabbing thought which I after started deliberately imaging to test myself but instead it felt like I like the feeling and know how it feels to stab someone then I was getting this feeling that I liked it wanted it or would enjoy it and it felt extremely real like i wanted it because it would feel ‘good’ I cant explain it but it suddenly felt like I enjoy or want it almost like I wanted to feel the feeling of doing that bad thing because I ‘like it’ I have no energy I can’t get over that feeling because it now felt like I actually wanted it I don’t know what is going on I’m worrying now I will actually want that to know how it is or as if I’ve discovered what evil people like or why they enjoy it and now I’m so lost and confused and I feel numb I don’t even know if I want or don’t want it and people always say with ocd they feel like they want it but they know deep down it’s against their morals or they would never do that but it literally feels like I don’t know now and it felt like a real feeling that I thought there was something good or enjoyable about doing that thing and I’m concerned I’ve had ocd for 2/3 years now and I’ve gone through crying and being upset and all the different emotions of having it and now I’m experiencing this and worried if I’ve changed and what if I’m actually evil now or have come to like evil things from imagining it and I want to talk to someone I don’t know what to do the other day it felt really real that it was about to happen and that I wanted to and I was getting this sick feeling that I was happy or liked it. Please I need advice I can’t get over this and move on because it feels like it wasn’t ocd and that feeling still happens and how can I ignore it and even if I try to ignore it I can’t because it felt real that I liked it and now it feels like there’s no going back if it felt like I actually liked it 🙁🙁
i’m back in a cycle of having harm related OCD thoughts and feelings and urges and i get these episodes where it’s like i’m disassociating and feel like i’m about to snap and go crazy violent. does anyone else experience this? i need help
