First off, one of the major differences between intrusive thoughts about psychosis and actually being psychotic is that someone who is psychotic doesn’t think they are. I don’t think you’re going crazy. This really sounds like your OCD is currently in command of your thoughts. When you understand that, you can deal with the underlying issues a lot better. Nobody deserves to die. Did you break a law? If not, don’t turn yourself in. You can’t be penalized for having thoughts. It’s when you act on them that you could get in trouble.

I’ve been pretty close to the edge with my ocd before. I’ve definitely had moments where my obsessions felt close to delusions. God loves you. You were made in His image and likeness. He loves each and every one of us deeply and intimately and there is nothing that can separate us from that love. I have scrupulousity so I need to remind myself of that a lot too. If you ever feel like you need it, there’s no shame in using a crisis hotline. I know in the US I’ve used the text line 741741 but I’ve also called the national suicide hotline a few times. Not always even when I felt like I was about to kill my self but sometimes just cuz I was tired of being alone. They helped. I

I’m so new to actually healing in this and so I don’t have the most insight but you are loved and valuable. I’ve 1000% felt this way in such despair. I’ve questioned Gods goodness so many times in this battle. But it can get better. God is good. I am praying for you!

Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.

I struggle with self harm and depression. I told my doctor a week ago that I have suicidal thoughts and she put me on an anxiety/depression med and she said it could make things better or worse. I have noticed I barely eat anything anymore and I started to self harm more. I go through my day struggling and I’ve lost my friends and I stay in my room 24/7. I don’t feel like doing anything anymore. People say “oh it’ll get better” or “you’ll overcome it” or “don’t worry it’ll be okay” but guess what it’s not true. I feel like no one gets me or no one will listen to me. No one understands the pain I go through every second of the day trying my hardest to put on a fake smile. I can’t do it anymore. I want it to stop.

I hate sitting in my room with only me and my thoughts. I have lost my faith in the lord and can’t seem to get on with my life. I’m so stuck on everything and can’t seem to get better. I keep self harming and get to the point to where I see the second layer of my skin. It gets worse and worse each time I have suicidal thoughts. One of these days it’ll get so bad that well you can probably guess what I may do. I have been abused physically mentally and sexually in my past and it haunts me every single day of my life. Any time I try to talk to someone about my mental health they tell me I’m a waste of their time or that I need to talk to someone other than them. But all that does is make me keep it all bottled up and I can’t take it anymore. They say mental abuse is worse than physical and I can see why they say that. I just want a normal life so I don’t have to be depressed 24/7. It ruins my social life and it makes me loose my friends and family because of how distant I am. I just need help and please give me advice. Also sorry I’m not very good at explaining things.
