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
Breathe. Everything will be okay. My mom says everything happens for a reason so we can become wiser. You can beat this. You just have to be strong. I feel your pain and I just started medication yesterday
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!
I feel like I’m going crazy again. I moved to a new state so that means new doc/therapist. Since I’ve moved here about 4 months ago I’ve been dealing with terrible episodes and I’m just miserable. I haven’t been on medication and recently i decided to try it again. About 2 weeks ago i called around to see if they take my insurance and the ppl that did either aren’t taking new patients or they’re way too far for me to travel as i have no car and I’m very very low on cash bc my mental hasn’t been able to get a new job bc I’m terrified. I made an appointment but they didn’t have anything till later this month and I’ve been trying to be positive but I just keep having this obsession that i NEED the medicine and i dc if it will make me a zombie and emotionless bc that’s just how miserable i am. Im crying uncontrollably because my thoughts won’t chill out. I don’t know what to do in the meantime & i can’t afford to commit myself . If anyone has anyways to cope while I’m waiting to see a doctor I’d really be grateful. I feel like my brain is going to explode.
I’m super aware of intrusive thoughts and they don’t go away and I don’t know how to make them go away or how to deal with them. And last night I had an urge and was almost going to act on one and that terrified me. I came home and the same thought arhat scared me was still in my mind and it scares me. I’m scared I’m going to lose control and become a bad person because I just don’t know what to do about the thoughts and how I’m capable of these things. I even contemplated about admitting myself to a mental hospital to get help because it’s getting bad and I don’t know how to control it. But I’m scared of doing that because what if I just end up staying in there for the rest of my life. What should I do I’m really scared and worried I may never get better and this is it for me.
Today has been awful thoughts. It’s just getting worse and it feels like real thoughts and feelings even though I’ve been fighting it. I wish I could explain how bad it is to my parents. How do you tell anyone you’re having horrible horrible thoughts of sexually harming others and other terrible things?And there’s events from my past that make me not want to do anything because I feel like I deserve to be jailed. I’m worried I won’t be able to get a job because I can’t act like a normal person, or learn to drive. My mom said I need something to keep my occupied, find some classes to take. And she’s right but I’m worried I can’t even focus on that and again I feel like it’s a waste because I feel like I deserve to be in jail. I’m 21 I feel like such a failure. I don’t know how to get help, I really feel like I don’t want to live anymore, it feel like the only way out. But I don’t want to hurt anyone and I don’t want my family to feel at fault. I don’t have any diagnosis so it just all feels too real. It’s CONSTANT thoughts about harming others. It feels real, it sounds proud and almost like it’s mocking in my head. I feel like I’m voluntarily thinking these things. I don’t understand why this has happened and why it’s gotten so bad. I know in my heart I have ZERO desire to be this person. I’m sorry I keep posting so much, it’s just so difficult.
