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 so scared that by thinking about things I can make them happen. I know that's a central thing in OCD but I googled it and a lot of people actually say that if you think about stuff you can make it happen. I've been processing a lot of trauma and having intrusive thoughts about it and I'm so scared that if I think about people who hurt me it will make them contact me and it's making me feel really paranoid and scared and panic and I'm just so scared that I'm somehow conjuring bad people to come into my life and that I'm going to somehow get sucked back into my past or that I am somehow calling people close to me who could hurt me or that something bad is going to happen to me because my thoughts have been so scary and triggering. I'm also feeling really dissociated and I'm worried that these thoughts are actually me starting to have some sort of a psychotic break or something. Please help I'm so scared.

I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

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.
