suic. ocd i’m panicking

I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’ve had similar experiences with my OCD, where I’d feel uncomfortable being around certain things like trains or guns, and my mind would just keep bringing up scary images and scenarios. The thing with OCD is that it latches onto things that seem dangerous or threatening, even when they’re not. This was a tough theme to overcome for me, but my therapist really helped me through it. The best thing I’ve found is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), which helps you face those fears gradually without reacting to them. It’s a tough process, but it’s the most effective way to work through OCD. OCD can be ego-dystonic, meaning it goes against what you truly want, and that’s why it feels so confusing and distressing. A therapist who specializes in OCD can help you understand and manage these thoughts better. Are you taking therapy?

Yes I can definitely relate, I also fixate on knifes specifically, each time I catch myself looking at one I randomly have gruesome thoughts of what I can do to myself with it. What helps with me is telling myself immediately that I am in control of myself and letting the thought go out on its own. I kind of repeat in my head sometimes too lol like repeating “I’m in full control of myself, I can decide what I can and cannot do, not my thoughts” it helps me more than just convincing myself I won’t do it. Always remember that those are just intrusive thoughts, it’s never something you actually want to do. Hope this helps!

Yes....I have it around knives bc I don't own a gun or I'm sure I'd have it with that too. I understand what you are going thru

Sounds like suicide OCD and you need to learn to live with the uncomfortable feelings. Please contact NOCD and ask your questions.
