Hang in there mate. Keep asking for help. Call a friend or a helpline. There are professionals who can help. People on this app care about you and feel your pain even though we don't know you.
Thanks mate. All the best.
Some days are worse than others. Try doing something that makes you happy and gets the focus away from the negative thoughts. Watch an uplifting or funny movie or something on YouTube. Don't dwell on the thoughts. You're going through a rough time right now, but it can only get better and it will?☀️
Xbox has been helping a lot lately and got a few friends I can talk to on there which can help, but sometimes one thing can be said and it'll stick with me for ages, so I can avoid any socialising. Watching movies and stuff makes me feel more down, as I see families and I constantly tell myself I won't have my own family one day. There's just a lot of random stuff going on in my head at the moment, and I really need my first initial appointment with an ocd specialist to hurry up. It's on the 20th and I'm just waiting for that really. Thank you both for your kind words. All the best.
Playing video games helps me a lot as well, Just hang in there man and try to watch happy cartoons when you decide to watch TV, they helped me out a lot when I felt I couldn’t watch movies and I picked up reading and writing in journals as well man. God bless man and you GOT this!
I get it :) Keep doing what makes you feel better. It's great you got an appt. with an ocd specialist! That's something to look forward to and a huge step in the right direction. Wish you the best, stay positive :)
Just remember OCD is the monster not you. You are a good person. Don't feel guilty about your thoughts. You will get better. There is amazing treatment out there. Be honest with your specialist. Believe me I had the most disgusting thoughts and my therapist didn't blink an eye and just said that's normal in OCD. But definitely try and distract yourself with humorous videos or movies. Don't feel guilty about not getting out of bed. Who are people to judge? Hope you feel better soon
Thanks everyone for replying, means a lot. It feels better knowing I'm not the only one with these issues as a lot of people I've told don't seem to understand it. Been keeping myself busy and the meds do help. Hope you are all doing well too and good luck with everything in the future.
I was doing good this morning at school, just having a thought here and there, but not getting startled by them. Once I got home, though, the fear came back. Now I'm feeling terrified, sad and tired. I'm just so done with this nonsense. Why can't these insane thoughts just let me alone? If I really wanted what they tell me I do, I wouldn't be feeling like this. Would I? This is just an illness, but it seems so real, it feels like I'm just avoiding the truth, and it hurts so bad to think about this in this way.
Cw- SI, S/H references I try so hard just to let the thoughts be there and not bother me but they just keep coming back over and over, I don’t trust myself anymore I feel like an evil person and I just want to kill myself I’m so scared that I’m actually what my thoughts say I am, if I am then I will have to kill myself, it feels like a stain on my soul It’s gotten to the point where I’m considering mutilating parts of my body just so I can’t feel anything in those parts or ever use them again I can’t find any relief anywhere, I haven’t felt sure of myself in months, people always tell me it’s okay that I have these thoughts because I don’t want to act on them but my brain keeps saying I do and I would rather kill myself And I’m just so sick of the people saying to accept the uncertainty, I don’t want to have to carry this for the rest of my life I wish I could have literally any other subtype, which I know is selfish of me because everyone else here is suffering too but the stigma and the shame around this one actually sucks the joy out of everything I do
I don’t know what to say. I feel a bit lost to be honest with my thoughts. They feel so real, they actually hurt so much. Why do I find myself comparing to my boyfriends and my friends? I’m not them, they got nothing to deal with me. It’s just that I feel the need to prove I have it worse, and to do that is to partake in actual harm. I have been feeling really low lately, honestly I feel like I’m losing it. It’s a scary feelings to think unaliving myself may be an option for me but I don’t want to do that. In all the hardships in life, there is so good in there. I have my boyfriend , I got good grades, I have a good home life I guess, I have friends and other amazing things too. It sad to say but I kinda need some comfort to know I’ll be fine. I feel like I’m at the end of my ropes right now. When people tell me their struggles I compare them to my own. When people give me advice, I overthink it. When I have something hope it gets torn apart. My heart hurts a lot. I feel like even if I do pass I’ll just be another number, like a casualty and no one would care. But that’s not true, people do care about me enough that they want me to live. I’m just so tired of feeling this way. I need help. But I feel like I don’t? God fucking damn it leave me the hell alone. I didn’t do nothing at all. I’m a good person I have morals and I have everything that is fit for me. But why go for everything I care about huh? Let me heal in peace. I can’t even pick up a fucking pencil with other thinking about whenever I could draw good, or even take a breather. it’s disabling its fucked and it’s hurts. Leave me alone. I’m too young to bear this pain. Living isn’t supposed to be a chore. It supposed to be something to look toward to the happy things in life. I fear I’d slip one day and do something awful to myself. It takes more than two painkiller to kill you right? I won’t do anything bad. Maybe I shouldn’t consider this though. I feel like I’ve reach pure insanity with my mental health. Maybe I am depressed or something. God I need help. But why do people try to even help me? Why do they care? I feel myself switching. I’m trying my best to not believe anything my thoughts are telling me. I feel so awful to the point I feel happy. What type of sick shit is this? I do care. But at the same time I feel nothing. This is terrifying and torturous. Please help me. What is this?
