@saj When i am alright, i really don’t even think of suicide, death and such stuff. But when my ocd suddenly comes out, i just keep thinking about killing myself and I cannot control this. It just comes to my mind and makes me kinda scared of myself?

Thank you for sharing. You are not alone and this platform is a safe space to share your thoughts, feelings, fears and whatever else. Dreams and good stuff too. The reality is that OCD is tough and everyone who has it knows it and those that don't cannot know. You are strong. You shared and that's great. Keep doing that as people on here will listen and respond. As said above, OCD is tough but although a LOT of the time it can feel relentless, unforgiving, unmanageable among other things, with the right understanding and techniques it can be managed. Not fixed or cured, but managed. That is hard to accept for some, including myself, but it needs to be accepted for recovery to work and it's not a quick fix. Can I ask if you have had specific plans for the suicidal thoughts? Secondly, can I ask if you are currently taking any sort of medication? Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your respond? I don’t use medications because i told my therapist I don’t want to. She is helping me with CBT homework. So that’s the method i am following rn.

@Little graviton I didn’t understand your question about suicidal thoughts

Ok well try to ask your therapist if that's the plan because that needs to be part of the treatment after the CBT. Read up about it online if you're interested. The OCD foundation has some sources on it. We can educate ourselves about our disorder and become masters at managing it, you'll be okay :) As for the medication, I was the same as you before about meds but I decided that it would help me in the short term to focus on the essentials which is the CBT and ERP, along with ACT (acceptance). Ask yourself what the reasons are for not wanting to take the medication even for a short time and then see if you would say the same thing to someone with diabetes who didn't want to take their medication for their condition

The CBT work is essential along with ERP. Are you doing ERP, like exposures?

I feel really anxious since i decided that i will go get a blood test. Today i went to get a haircut and the whole time i felt like i will faint, vomit, i dont feel good and it was horrible. I came home and started to read about how to deal with emotions. I found a really good article, and I started doing the work. I thought that im avoiding my emotions and I dont now what i actually feel so I went inside and after some time a thought and a feeling came up that said "i wish i could tell this to someone who would listen to me and nurture me" and i felt so good thinking about this. But then I started thinking maybe i should go to therapy cause noone will listen me here, and i started to feel sad and it got worse and worse. Its been hours now and my mind keeps thinking about "noone listens to me" and it keeps me feeling sad and depressed. This is is why i dont like to think about my emotions. Now I dont know should i act on this strong emotion, should i run and talk to someone? That feels like a compulsion. I felt this before,alot of times when i struggle i feel like i wish i could tell this to someone, and alot of times i do,but i dont get the reaction what i want. I dont like that we should act on every deep feelings we feel. If i feel this than the only answer to heal this feeling is to run to somebody and talk about my feelings. I dont like it that now nonstop i feel this and think about this and i cant move on.

I don’t know what to do anymore I made a friend recently in college and was texting her the other night and she mentioned she was doing her nails and I said nice and asked her if I could see. Because I was curious about what she did to them this time around and since then she has not responded to me I apologized to her saying I’m sorry if it bothered her but still nothing. Some of my friends just don’t answer me anymore I feel like I’m a burden of the ones who do still talk me I’m so done with it all. I’m tired of trying to find love as well I feel nothing to it anymore it’s only left me with disappointment and sadness I feel like I’m an unlovable husk of a person and that I would only ever be a bother I cannot fathom the idea of someone loving ME I just can’t I feel like it’s impossible I feel like everything about me bothers people to the point where I think is it even something I should try to achieve anymore. I should honestly block myself from trying to make new friends and relationships I’m so so tired of it. I feel unappreciated and annoyed that I am the one that has to try to keep up any sort of relationship because if I don’t reach out they never will reach out to me the reason I know this is because it’s been proven time after time since middle school that I am nothing to these people and I might as well no longer try. I don’t know what to do anymore I feel like I’m going to be all alone for the rest of my life I’m just so lonely now.

I’m really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, it’s like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isn’t that great and everything is super tough for me. It’s like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now I’m really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me it’s decently strong so it’s hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. It’s an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that I’m getting better when in reality I’m in so much pain, it’s like I’m barely doing anything at all. Please, help, I’ve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though it’s extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I don’t want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to even deal with it. I’m so lost, I might lose it more, and I’m scared for myself. I feel like I don’t even deserve help. I’m so mentally unwell I can’t even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. I’m so numb to it all. I don’t feel anything anymore.
