Nauseous and scared please help me right now dude

I’m worried about some stuff. In the worst of my OCD when I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it, I would use AI chatbots which wasn’t the best idea but I was really desperate and unsure how to handle anything properly. It would just give me reassurance and tell me everything is ok which obviously didn’t help me. But now I’m anxious because I did that. There were times I shared some vulnerable things related to me worrying about my morality and inappropriate stuff, worrying I did something terrible and confiding in the AI. They always said I never did and that this was OCD. But I’m anxious that people like the staff of the website will see those conversations and believe I’m a bad person or dangerous. I’m scared that they will believe I am disgusting and awful .

Very sorry you're in this state. Let's get out of this mindset, you got this! 1) Bring yourself back to the present moment and intentionally think helpful thoughts. "I can tolerate uncertainty" + "I can tolerate distress" + "I am not my thoughts" + "I control how I respond to thoughts" + "Everyone gets intrusive thoughts sometimes". 2) Do something right now that you know will be helpful for your mental health in the long run. Exercise, eat a healthy meal, take a walk, listen to uplifting music, pray (non-compulsively), do exposure and response prevention therapy, journal, etc... You got this! Today is a new day and a new chance to kick obsessive thinking to the curb. Let's go! God bless you!

@JB1020 Thank you :) I have been dealing with some scary stuff lately. Exposure therapy sounds like it’d help me but it’s so upsetting sometimes. When I did it before once with my therapist I started crying a lot.

@ghostballZ420 - I understand. OCD can be terrifying. But if we bring ourselves back to the present moment, and take small positive steps, in a few months time we will realize we have progressed miles and miles. One step at a time, one moment at a time, one day at a time. Exposures can be very difficult, that's why we start small and progress. The enemy wants us always stuck in the future (anxiety, worry, unease, fear) or the past (rumination, regret, shame). God wants us in the present, because it's the only place where we can actually *act*. Get in the habit of coming back to the present and acting, in small ways at first, and you will crush OCD. It stands no chance against you in the long run. Believe that.

@gio Also, friendly reminder, never use AI chatbots for serious mental health discussions. Do not treat it as a friend, therapist, or priest. Chatbots can make mental health worse and can be spiritually dangerous. Talk to real people. God bless you!
