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!

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before

I cannot for the life of me stop ruminating or checking how I feel about thoughts or focusing on thoughts or creating more thoughts. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I want to scream. I try not to ruminate about the thoughts, but trying not to just makes me think about them more. I try not to check, but somehow, I still check. I want to let a thought sit in the background, but the more I try not to focus on it, the more I end up focusing on it. I don’t want the thought to expand because that feels like engaging with it, but I can’t just stop it from expanding. It feels impossible. People keep saying I’m in control of my compulsions, and maybe that’s true for the physical ones. But when it comes to the mental compulsions, I swear I have no control. It feels like I’m missing something that everyone else seems to have, like there’s some tool they’re using that I don’t have. Controlling mental compulsions has never felt possible for me. I’m starting to fear them. And every time someone says I’m in control and can just choose not to do them, I end up beating myself up even more when they happen. Or when I *choose* I guess. I don’t know anymore. If this is my fault, if I’m responsible for this, then what does that make me? I feel like a monster. I am at my wits’ end. How am I supposed to control mental compulsions when it feels like they control me? I freak out when they happen. They don’t bring me relief, they just make me panic. I want it to stop so bad.
