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 feel awful that I keep coming on here whenever I’m down bad but oh my gosh OCD is the most painful shit that I have EVER experienced in my life and I have a physical chronic illness…. I hate to say it but I hate living right now it’s too painful… im crying as I type to the point where my stomach is hurting, I have pretty severe ocd I do have generalized anxiety and idk if that is connected with ocd but because of that I have most of the subtypes REAL EVENT OCD,POCD,ZOCD,ROCD,SOCD HARM OCD, you name it and I got it!!! a lot of also why I have have those theme is trauma growing up and involving those things^ as of right now i’m 25 and a women with the most loving boyfriend in the entire world before my ocd hit me I NEVER questioned my love and care and attraction with the love of my life I always knew I was going to marry and be with this person the rest of my life! Now with ocd it confuses me soooo much and now I think I’m gay and didn’t realize or indenial and listen I get it “don’t look for reassurance!” “It’s not the thing ocd is attacking that is the problem ocd is the actual problem!” Here’s the thing with that if I’m in a relationship and I’m gay that would mean I would have to leave that said relationship and to say that “oh yeah that stuff happens and you’ll move on” is absolutely devastating to me this is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and your telling me that iv been lying to myself this whole time or that I didn’t realize?!?!? And that sexuality can change (even though some say it can’t google says otherwise and some people have said it can’t idek anymore) and all this other BULLSHIT I can’t take it WHY?!?! why does this have to happen why can’t I just be with my love the rest of my life?!? and yes before anyone says anything I have been attracted to girls more so when I was younger watching lesbian porn liking the body’s and fantazing them sexually it stopped when I got older but I still don’t get disgusted with women who are pretty it just makes me uncomfortable because I’m with the love of my life and before I remember talking to my partner and discussing certain childhood things I experienced and we discussed that we both could be a little bi and for certain I’m (demi sexual so I don’t even really care about looks) and I truly didn’t care!! NOW I do care even with being bi because again I don’t like thinking about anyone else but my partner but I do also know my parents are homophobic and I do think about if I am gay they wouldn’t be okay with that and I also dont want to deal with that so now I sound like in indenial right?!???? I didn’t even care about labels before my ocd it just didn’t matter but now it’s effected my sex life and it’s hard for me to enjoy sex with being so confused I’m so confused I googled everything can you still have sexual fantasies with same gender but still be straight? Can you fantasize about same gender or imagine marrying them all of it !!! And non of that disgusts me it just makes me uncomfortable AGIAN only bc I just love the partner I’m with right now!!! I’m so fucking confused do I have to leave my partner and accept that I’m gay is that going to happen in the future if I get better with ocd and find out it’s been true all along?!???

Hey, so I've never actually been diagnosed with OCD. I did a little bit of research, I always thought OCD was organizing things. But I'm not normal, I have this thing where I feel something isn't right. I obsess over it or if I brush my hand over something correctly then it's fixed. Or I have to do this thing on stairs, I'll walk up a few or down them because something isn't right. I read this thing on memories. I know something happened, but then I doubt myself to the point I don't know if it happened. And I think too logically in relationships. I'll put statistics on things and if they might not work out I distance myself, there's other odd things I do. My family always told me I was fine but then said things like I was messed up, and said to just ignore what I felt. Like I was making it up. I don't know what to do, I don't have a doctor currently, I was never diognosed. Is there a way to be sure I have it? Or a way to stop everything? I just want to stop everything, please and thank you. Sorry for the long post. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful.
