I have the same issue!! It’s like you don’t want to do then but they just keep coming. Makes you feel guilty, especially if you have a family/kids. Almost Makes you afraid to be alone! Reach out if you need to talk! We will get through this girl! I’ve learned that mild fullness is pretty effective. Or just taking deep breaths and forcing yourself to do your every day activities to get your confidence back up. You have to be confident in yourself and KNOW you will not follow through and that these are just your worries/anxieties.

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I understand that harm intrusive thoughts can absolutely hijack your mind and make you feel like you will follow through. I do encourage you to reach out for more help if acting on these intrusive thoughts is a concern of yours. Remeber that you don’t have to believe everything you think. And if you do find yourself in an emergency know that there are hotlines and other resources available to you. I’m sure a NOCD advocate will have better advice on this, but I couldn’t keep scrolling and leave your concerns without comment. I hope that today the thoughts are less consuming 🙏🏼

I understand this completely. They are thoughts. They do not control you.

Bad thoughts...
I'm getting intrusive thoughts of self harm. It seems like I've achieved everything in my life and it makes little difference. None of it was worth anything.

Conflicted
TW// suicidal ideation There are things I want to do like i have an interview tomorrow for an exciting internship, but i also feel like I kinda don't wanna be here anymore. I'm not actively trying to do things to end my life, but I'm getting more and more tired of the same shit every day and i don't think I even want to come to terms with it and live for the next 40 or 50 years. maybe my constitution just sucks but idk if that's something I want. I don't want to accept OCD. im exhausted and frustrated. I don't want this in my life. But I'm not sure I want a life anymore anyways.

Anyone else?
TW: SEWERSLIDE WARNING I’m scared to continue living because I don’t want the worst to happen. The worst being me discovering I’m a sociopath, pedophile, ephebophile etc… I have people I don’t want to disappoint. I keep looking for an excuse/something wrong with me so that I can decide whether I want to continue living or just end my life and save myself from the embarrassment of my loved ones finding out. At the same time I’m afraid to die. I feel like I’m not making a lot of progress in therapy. The only thing keeping me going right now is the thought that maybe one day I will find out that I’m not a creep, a sociopath &/or an ephebophile. At the same time living everyday is hard with all this looming over me. Some days I feel like I can continue no &’s ifs or buts. Other days I feel like im my own cheerleader & i am actually this bad person i think i am. I am so confused. Yesterday this thing came up where i suddenly find myself thinking a 17 yr old actor is attractive mind you im 21 yrs old.. idk if this is arousal nonconcordance or what it is honestly..I’m just afraid that it says something about who I am.. maybe that’s why I like guys my age with smaller bodies because it reminds me of a younger person??? Idk
