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.
I will try to calm down
What are the ocd hotlines? Thanks
@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
Just saw your post. Its been a few hours since you posted this, so I wanted to check in and see how you are doing now.
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.
Am I normal? I have thoughts about killing my friends, family, and strangers recently very often in a variety of ways and these intrusive thoughts are draining happiness from me.. I don't know this type of OCD but I'm certain it's a subset of OCD. I don't know what's happening to me. Someone please reach out to me. Its draining happiness from me every day. When I'm having a fun time with family one intrusive thought enters my mind out of the blue. It gets so bad and so violent that it physically made me sick. I'm not even kidding.
Has anyone had intrusive thoughts pop into their heads about killing people you know/ are in your life? I feel like a crazy person, these thoughts are so messed up. I keep trying to do thought stopping but its not working 😢 i feel this need to confess these thoughts to the people they are about. Has anyone had these thoughts? What if its not ocd
Hey everyone. I have been struggling with this theme this week. I had a panic attack at the beginning of the week and I got hit with a bunch of suicide intrusive thoughts. That is the last thing on earth I want to do and it hurts me because my mind makes me believe I want to. I get in a really sad dark alone place and sometimes I think about it but also I feel like it is intrusive because I have told myself no matter how bad it gets, no matter how shitty it feels I will not do anything to take my own life. It brings me so much sadness and guilt when I think about those kinds of things. It’s been hard because I have been trying to mindfully redirect and stay in the present moment but the thoughts come back and it makes it so hard to move on or when I’m in a happy moment that feels good my intrusive thoughts just come flooding back. I have tried to accept that those thoughts are there and I need to do things towards my goals and values but it’s been so difficult to accept this feeling and notice those thoughts when they are so against everything I love and it’s so hard when it’s one of my biggest fears. I cry and cry because I’m just so scared of those thoughts and it makes me think I actually want to do it. Anyway has anyone else experienced this? I feel so guilty and sometimes get thoughts that this feeling will never go away even thought I know for a fact I can get past it. Any advice? Or does anyone relate?
