6+ months!!! Wow! That is awesome.
Hi ! I was looking at your page and see that you have a theme just like mine right . “Suicidal ocd” have you overcame this ?
@Walters15! i often had dark intrusive thoughts when i was younger about self harm and suicide but did not actually want to do this to myself, it was just the “what if” that scared me so i would come up with the idea that i did actually want to kms or hurt myself. the most helpful thing i’ve done for this theme has been erp exposures and just making simple jokes about it to myself. if i have a thought such as: “i actually want to kms” ill say to my OCD, yes, im going to. i obviously wont actually go through with it but it gives your OCD less power by just agreeing and moving on. talk to a therapist though and find what works for you. if this doesn’t work dont try it!
It’s just scary like even sometimes when I’m in a funk or just feeling I guess depressed the thoughts flood in and gives me so much anxiety and have the thoughts of I can’t do this I’m always gonna be like this or I want to give up then if a kms thought comes I start crying and asking my husband does this mean I actually am having passive ideation!? And he has to reassure me that I don’t . But I also haven’t been diagnosed with ocd . But I’ve always been scared of death so it’s just weird how this is how a thing . And it makes me sad thinking or talking about it . A therapist had told me it was passive but she also didn’t seem to advanced in her expertise!
