Okay please calm down and try to contact suicide hotline. You seem very on edge and I’m concerned. If you don’t want to talk to them on the phone, you can text them too. There’s also ocd hotlines that can help with suicidal thoughts as well. Just prioritize your safety before you try to figure out if this is ocd or not.

@Alyosha Can’t find the specific links but you can text NAMI to 741741 and speak to mental health professionals. Just specify what you’re struggling with and they’ll connect you with someone for ocd help

The same or worse. It’s like I can feel all of my intrusive thoughts being sent to my friends as I’m having them and none of friends are responding so that doesn’t help! I’m having a melt down feels very real

@Meabh As real as it feels, it’s the ocd. You can get through this. Do you have access to a therapist?

Hang in there! I agree with Meabh. You need some space before you try think about this. You’re in fight-or-flight mode. Something that helps me is to tell myself, “You don’t have to solve this tonight. You can think about this more tomorrow at 8:00pm.” And usually, by the time the “worrying appointment” comes up, I’ve calmed down and realized it wasn’t actually a real problem, just my anxiety at the moment sticking to a thought. Hope that helps!

If you feel you are a danger to yourself please go to your local hospital or ER... I know what you are going through and I’m here to tell you that it gets better. The problems that I thought would end everything for me are far gone and don’t even matter anymore. Just breathe and think about all the people who love and care about you... just remember that it’s the ocd talking, it’s not who you are. Ocd is special for everyone and we all deal with it in different ways. You are not alone, and please if you feel like you are suicidal get help! We want you to be safe.

I’m really struggling with something related to me ocd, and I would appreciate kind and supportive advice. If you can’t relate or don’t think anything you have to say would be helpful, I kindly ask pls refrain from commenting this is a really sensitive topic for me. Recently, I’ve noticed a pattern that feels something extremely new and distressing. The first time it happened I remember telling myself before self pleasuring that I am in control no matter what thought comes into my mind because I wanted to prove to myself that these thoughts are just from OCD and I know who I am and an intrusive that came out of no where, and i suddenly felt an intense fear that I was acting on it. In the moment I genuinely felt like I did. And afterword, I panicked and started questioning myself. This SAME FEELING has happened three times in a row each time, the intrusive thought was unwanted and random, and completely against my morals most recently it involved pocd and it feels even worse because it generally felt like I acted on it the thought in the moment while I was self pleasuring the panic doesn’t hit until afterwards when I stop :/ I start thinking that maybe I generally made a mistake and I’m now just realizing that it’s wrong because it generally feels like that :( but when I actually think about it again goes against my morals and values doesn’t make sense it feels incredibly real, and I can’t seem to shake this feeling off that I may have acted on it I’m terrified because I never wanted these thoughts in the first place. And I definitely didn’t choose them. If I had known, I would’ve had these intrusive thoughts I wouldn’t have self pleasured in the first place but it’s extremely hard to convince myself that this may be OCD because I feel like I have no other reason to believe that I didn’t act on it :/

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.
