Everything will be okay:) picture yourself on a good day sitting with your partner on the couch watching your favorite show/snacks and having your favorite snacks. I know it won’t fix it but just remind yourself that you do have good days and it will be okay. Don’t do it all the the because it could turn into a compulsion. But just this once and occasionally as a gentle reminder. I should give myself the same advice. It’s so easy to get caught up in the spiral

Even if it doesn’t feel like it, at some point the flare up will calm and you will feel better!

Experiencing such a 'bad day' where thoughts spiral intensely after an unexpected trigger sounds incredibly difficult. The image you described sounds terrifying, and it's understandable why you'd feel overwhelmed. Managing such strong reactions can feel isolating, but support is out there. Help is here at NOCD and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too.

Feeling down.
Was just remembering and ruminating on extremely traumatic and disturbing drawings I looked at as a teen. I'm trying to move past it because I cannot go back and unsee what I've seen, it's so difficult though. Feeling like people would look at me with disgust and I don't deserve the love that I crave desperately.

panicking so bad
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

I harmed myself
I had the biggest emotional breakdown of my life. I don't even understand why, but because of something that bothered me the slightest bit, i started yelling SOO loudly and bad at my parents: "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!" I threw some things, i even ran, tried to leave the house, and i ran to my room, i hit my head and i got a bump and some really bad scratches. Afterwards i felt super guilty, i feel horrible for having made my parents feel this way, and how was it possible that I hurt myself like this? I don't understand why i reacted that way, it's so, soo bad. They hugged me and we cried for a while, but i don't understand, am i crazy?
