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 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.

Iām sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you canāt relate and donāt think youāll say anything helpful or kind pls donāt comment anything⦠Iāve been struggling with somethings thatās making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like Iām enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I havenāt done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that itās just wrong this doesnāt make sense to me because Iāve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and Iāve been known that these things are wrong so Iām just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldnāt act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time Iām genuinely convinced that Iām a horrible and itās even got into the point where I donāt wanna be here anymore and I donāt even think this is my OCD :( tbh

There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldnāt be around my children and I donāt trust myself.

so I need to get back into ERP, but itās so hard to manage these thoughts and learn to deal with them. like I swear my mind has to make everything about it. Like every time I clean my room, my mindās like yup make sure itās clean so when your parents find you, or something so stupid like if I get a headache, my mind convinces me that I like the pain and that thatās why I get my thoughts because I actually want to do it. Itās so exhausting. Because I know I would never want to take my life and I treasure my life so why does it do it to me? Itās hard to comprehend the fact of these thoughts too because I donāt know many people with this exact theme. Itās such a scary feeling. And Iām constantly questioning whether I have actual depression or if itās just my OCD. Yes I have been diagnosed with suicidal OCD, but my mind still tries to convince me otherwise. I just donāt know how to let these just sit and pass without panicking.
