Hey, I really relate to where youāre coming from. A couple nights ago I was sure I had to die, that it was the only way to end what was happening or to help people around me? I guess? Not a great situation, but I decided to text a friend. She ended up listening and working through my thoughts with me and helped me calm down A LOT. OCD is an expert at telling us we are undeserving or unwanted but we canāt let it win. No matter what your mind tells you youāve done or will do, you deserve to live. And you are loved. I promise. There is nothing you could do to be undeserving of this. If you need someone to talk to, please donāt hesitate to reach out, I can give you my discord or something! I just want you to know you are wanted. I really relate to your story and Iām so so sorry you are going through this. Sending you love and self compassion. Please be kind to yourself today<3
I had the same yesterday. I talked to my best friend, who calmed me down as well. Thatās why I recommended that as well.
I know the pain. Really, if itās so bad, maybe it helps talking to a friend. That helped me a few days ago. I know it sounds stupid, but sometimes reaching out, If everything you learned āfailedā itās good. Maybe share how you feel with someone. Ocd makes you like a child fighting 100 adults at the same time. Iām sure youāre loved. Maybe just reach out to them and tell them how you feel. You can do it. We all can do it.
Are you seeing a therapist?
Yes
Im so drained , I havenāt been diagnosed Iām too scared to go to a doctor and I did tell my mum I think I had ocd and she laughed at me with disbelief because Im not a clean freak . My last option is suicide if Iām being honest Iām only 17 and Iām already having these uncomfortable thoughts that make me cry for hours . I canāt go on social media I canāt speak to my family I canāt be around kids , animals without having a fear of getting turned on or feeling stuff or thinking stuff . The thoughts get so believable idk if there real or fake . It makes me extremely uncomfortable āwhat if I like this feeling ā I have to constantly check myself my body if a video comes up of a kid . What happens if I donāt even have ocd and Iām just a pedo . Iāve been through a lot of stuff but this has been the most draining , depressing period of my life . I canāt eat , Iām starting to think Iām depressed again . I canāt sleep , I donāt know myself anymore . Iām scared of myself , my future , what happens if Im becoming one , since Iām so young . I donāt want to be here anymore I donāt deserve it . I donāt deserve to have friends I donāt deserve anything but to rot in my room . I donāt believe I can get help I donāt believe I can get better . I just want to be normal Iām so jealous of people that just think normally .
Struggling with scrupulosity around real events. It makes me want to kill myself. Some days I just feel the need to either be locked up or killed. I donāt want anyone to have to deal with me. I know there are people who love me and want me alive, but I canāt help but think it would make things better if I were dead. I thought about harming myself again after a few years of being clean. I donāt want to but I feel like I have to for the greater good. Like Iām being just by punishing myself for feeling like a bad person. I canāt stand myself. I want my life to feel like one worth living. People tell me to stop wasting my time and just be happy. They donāt know how hard that is. I wish people could see into my mind and see how much Iām struggling.
Because I struggle with false memory and real event ocd, I feel like God hates me. I remember praying to God please give me a reason to live and I honestly don't deserve it. What it makes this worse is that, I ask God to just end my life.
