I feel you, drugs fucked me majorly. Keep off the drugs, see friends and spend time with family too. Isolating yourself from them will make it harder so try push yourself to spend time with them. The more you do the easier it will get. I still find it all hard but we need to push ourselves no matter how bad the thoughts are, I focus on the moment and don't try control the thoughts. It is still really hard and Xmas has been tearful for me, but the more you push yourself the easier it'll get. Keep pushing yourself, stay strong.

Thank you man. I do spend most of my time at home but sometimes it's just way too much emotionally and physically so I tend to get out with friends most night and toke. Besides weed and cigs I've stopped all other drugs. The ritual of smoking sometimes feels like the only piece of mind I get. That and being with friends helps as well. I just hate how quickly I've gone from almost accepting myself to hating myself more than I ever have, even when my depression was bad and i had suicidal thoughts. I'm sorry to hear the holidays have been difficult for you, they have for me as well so dont feel alone. I dont think I've cried more consistently ever before than I do now. I've been trying so hard to push thru and its it's so hard.

My thoughts have evolved so much they literally attack me being scared of anything and everything. I can’t understand if I’m scared of the thought or the thing I think I fear! I’m so confused and want to just not fucking care

Mine seem to attack me no matter what. Playing video games, listening to music, watching a movie. I understand how you feel, I wish we could jus delete shit like this outta our brains. I hate how mine seems to be against me all of a sudden.

@TwylerGuy12 Wow we have a lot in common haven’t played a game in a month and barely ever listen to music where as before I did 2-4 hours a day. This disorder fucking sucks. But let’s stay strong. It’s literally all we can do. Do what we used to and try our best to enjoy it.

I had a major issue with weed, I reckon you should cut that out too mate. It can cause all sorts of issues, and what you are describing sounds a lot like how I felt. Since cutting the weed out its been easier for me, as it has a lot of psychological effects, so I can think more clearly than I used to. I still smoke cigs, a lot more than I used to, 1 thing at a time tho... Weed does help in the moment, same as booze, but you're better off without, especially with what you're going through. Make sure you're speaking to a GP or a someone who can help with suicidal thoughts, as they could give you meds to make it a bit easier and guide you more in the right direction. Yeah holidays are usually a tough time if year for everyone, but keeping off the drugs and getting the right therapy, hopefully soon it'll get easier. Do try keep off the weed mate, it really messed me up, and it can cause these types of issues due to a chemical imbalance in your brain. Keep trying mate, it will get easier.

Quiting weed sounds impossible because I've been smoking everyday day for so long, and at this point smoking with my friends feels like the only peace I have, if even for just a bit. I've been smoking since sophomore year and never had any problems until now, which it seemed more likely to me that my recent psychedelic abuse was the problem, which I've completed stopped.

@TwylerGuy12 I get you, for 10 years I used to smoke weed, but for the last 2 years it's been so hard, especially after realising what OCD is and how long I've dealt with it. I loved it and stopping was so fucking hard, but it'll be worth it trust me. It's worth a try if you are struggling this much, as stopping has helped me a lot. Entirely up to you tho, but your docs would say same thing if you're having these issues. At least cut down if you smoke a lot and it might improve your mood when you're not high.

@charliebee I'm not opposed to cutting it off, I have no desire on my own besides now what seems like my mental health being on the line. Itll be easier I feel like to cut back rather than stop cold turk, but cutting back in and of itself will prove to be difficult. But if you can stop after 10 years I can definitely attempt after 2. Props to you btw, its it's not easy, especially when its it's your get a away.

@TwylerGuy12 Yeah give that try mate, hopefully cutting down will help you a bit. Definitely see a GP too as they will be able to guide you more with the issues you're having with mental health. Thanks man, all the best to you and hope things get easier.

I've been the same way about both games and music. I used to play video games all the time and loved music and I made beats in my free time and loved it, but I havent made a complete beat since this all started and playing games even fucking pokemon sword or splatoom, my thoughts still come to me. Which makes me feel even worse because those were both birthday presents from my parents ? and you're so right. We just gotta fight it even tho it seems so hard. We gotta fight to make every day brighter and every thought happier, on god. ?

Everything feels so real. I think learning about non-offending pedophiles has really screwed with me. I feel like I’m not even doing compulsions anymore like I genuinely cannot remember if I do them or not and the groinal responses are messing with me. I keep having intrusive dreams and I’m in that half asleep state and I feel nothing after that or I feel weird like a good weird, I don’t know. It’s a really weird feeling when I get those thoughts but I don’t like them, I don’t think. All I know is, I keep seeking reassurance and I feel like I don’t have OCD because the way I feel, like the way I get worked up isn’t the same as others. Whenever I try to watch a show, like 9-1-1 or daily dose of sunshine, I feel like I’m watching something I shouldn’t be. Or if I’m just on my phone, I feel like something is going to happen. I feel red flags whenever I’m on my phone, like somehow cp will appear. I know that OCD is the doubting disorder but my god, this is just crazy. I feel like I’m going crazy. Everything is just nonstop, it’s so constant and I’m genuinely scared that I’ll do something when I get out of my room. I don’t know anymore, this whole OCD thing is just making me lose my mind.

I'm diagnosed with ocd but I don't even know if it's ocd what if I'm just a terrible fucking person that actually wants to do this. My mind is literally telling me to go buy a weapon and hurt people like I get fucking urges. I can't keep food down and have not for the last few days I feel like I need to go to a mental hospital but I don't want to burden anyone in my family. Like my mind tells me specifically I want to do this but I don't want to but recently ive been having the thought of what if I did do it but I don't want to. I just want it to stop I'm a good person I don't want to hurt anyone at all. But what if one day I actually do want to do something. I can't do this anymore.

Please read at own discretion
This is extremely hard for me to say I have danced around it in previous posts but I simply cant hold it in anymore. The guilt that I feel for thinking these thoughts is immesurable and is driving me to want to hurt myself. I'm gonna start from the very beginning it all started when I was put on Fluvoxamine back then I had the bad habit of looking every medication that I was on up and with that I found out that a student with another student had brought a weapon to school and hurt many people with it. (I can't even write the word but I'm sure you know what the thing was) The intrusive thoughts didn't start then for some reason but later when at my school we had a threat of someone who was wanting to do the same thing. But then one morning I got the thought of what if I do that. And then it got worse I would get the thought every day. And then summer came by and I thought I would be fine but it came back when I went to school again this year it got so bad that I had to drop out of school. But for some reason I am still getting the intrusive thoughts and they are even more horrible now with images of me doing it, I get horrible urges, and my mind tells me that I want to do something this terrible. I want people to understand when I say this I don't want to do anything to hurt anyone and never have. I have 0 history of violence to anyone and have been in several situations like that where there was a threat and have felt the fear that comes along with that. I don't understand why these thoughts are there. I feel like I need to put myself into a mental hospital. I never want to hurt anyone and never will.
