I have harm ocd and depression and went to the hospital bc it felt so real. I was told by an ocd expert that someone with harm ocd is more unlikely to act on their thoughts then someone who has no mental problem. Going to the hospital just made my harm ocd worse bc they are constantly asking you there if you have a plan etc and bc my harm ocd felt so real it really felt like I had one.

Oh no! I can see how that would be so disorienting. I’m sorry you experienced that.

You should get help when you feel like your symptoms are getting worse and if you can’t deal with your ocd anymore. I totally understand what you are going through. It’s important to look after your mental well-being and to eat lots of food. Sometimes I hear things too that my family can’t hear and I think that am going crazy or I have schizophrenia. Asking for help would be the first step to start the process of recovery. We can get through this together and we are all here for you. You are more than welcome to message me privately if you want.

Hey, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Talking to a professional is a great start and I’d really recommend talking to someone on a crisis line when you are feeling unwell - they can give you helpful CBT strategies to manage anxiety momentarily and also help you calm down from panic attacks. When I feel really guilty and horrible and awful, I find that talking to someone and just getting confidential help is great, so please don’t hesitate to reach out for help when you need it!

Hey, I’ve felt the same way many many times, stuck in a constant loop of anxiety and compulsions and reading and watching videos from the moment I wake up to when It’s time to go to sleep. my biggest fear is schizophrenia and I’m constantly thinking weird things and just being anxious :( I hope things get better for you and I highly recommend a therapist! Getting a therapist who specializes in OCD is the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health!

I’m sorry that this is happening to you. To answer your question I have call a crisis line and seek help. Seeking help truly was the biggest thing I could have done! I was at the bottom. I wasn’t eating, similar to your current situation. I didn’t understand what was happening and really frustrated me. So please consider getting help. It changed for good my situation.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

i’m a new user on this app, I downloaded it just cause I was curious, I don’t really know if I have OCD. Because in school all I learned about OCD is things being out of place and having it to be perfect almost like perfectionism, but I’ve just recently realized there’s a whole kind of different types of OCD, some things I struggle with daily is a fear of bad things happening or almost like an impending doom of when is it gonna happen? I’m always in my head thinking feels like I’m having multiple conversations at once. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I’m having a conversation with myself. I have horrendous anxiety about everything and anything talking to people being around people. It just feels like it consumes my everyday life and I don’t know what to do. I can’t clearly remember anything from my childhood and some things I feel like I may be imagining I just don’t really feel like a person. I’m always thinking the worst in my relationship over analyzing and stressing out thinking of scenarios or thinking, my boyfriend‘s cheating on me. It almost all feels out of my control.
