please do not do this. i have gotten out of a very bad part of my life in january and february because ocd made me feel like nothing would get better, then march-may were literally some of the best months of my life where i have never felt so alive. life is just a combination of good and bad and you have to get through the bad to earn the good. as hard as it is you have to keep fighting, the good you will experience when you get out of this will be so so worth it. it’s so much easier said than done but i believe in you.
Yeah that’s super scary. The fact that you know those thoughts are wrong and they disgust you, shows that you’re not a bad person
With real event, the memories just came up and these memories were years ago that I have forgotten about.
@AmandaM Yeah I've got these too. I get them basically every single day. The reminders never stop and I always think one day I'm going to jail for the mistakes. I feel like I deserve some kind of punishment for the mistakes, even if at the time I feel like they weren't mistakes.
Hey you’re ok. Breath. Remember the things you are looking forward to, because you can still have them! Think about how fucking strong you are! You’ve gotten through this, you CAN do this. I know it’s crippling and feels useless and you just don’t want to feel anything anymore. But it will get better. I was in the place this summer where I wanted to hurt myself and end it all too. But I didn’t. And it got better. My head feels better, I’m not constantly sick to the stomach, I can breath, and I have things in life to work towards. You can do this, and you can talk to us, you know we understand and will work through this with you
It's just extremely hard. Tbh, I don't know if I could make it 😔
@AmandaM Well I’m heat for you. You have harm ocd and pure ocd, yes? I also have harm ocd. Do you want to talk about it more?
@Madison Yeah
@AmandaM Ok well tell me about your harm ocd. What is it specifically?
@Madison Well I keep on having intrusive thoughts about harming my family. Also dealing with real-event ocd
@AmandaM i deal with real event ocd too, it’s very hard but we can get through it!
@annonymous What’s real event ocd? Sorry I’ve never heard of it, I’d like to learn though!
@Madison i’m pretty sure i have it bc i am pretty sure this is it, it’s basically a memory comes up and it’s like a past thing that you’ve done and people without ocd would normally be like “oh i did that oops” or just look back and be like that was a stupid mistake and go on with their day but people with this ocd will overthink it and think they are the worst person for it and it will like haunt them. it works hand and hand w my confession ocd.
Please don't do this, lovely. I've been through so many times where I've felt at such a low ebb with my OCD and every single time, the anxious feelings have passed after a while (even if it's weeks). ERP will help reduce the anxiety if you stick with it. Please keep fighting — there are people out there who care about you, myself included
TW// SUICIDE im gonna be really honest. i am not doing good. this is the worst ocd theme i have ever had. it feels SO real to me. i look at my self in the mirror and mourn the happy girl i used to be before december of 2019 when my ocd first hit. the fact that i will never be the same scares me and haunts me more than anyone can understand. everyday gets harder and harder no matter how much progress i make. i cant afford therapy right now but i need it so badly. i am genuinely in so much pain. i feel so guilty, and ashamed, and sad all the time. i cant focus on school work or anything anymore. i have had thoughts about suicide because i just want some relief. it hurts so much. i love my boyfriend beyond belief. it makes me so angry that ocd would attach to and manipulate something so pure and beautiful to me.
TW/ I don't know what to do anymore 😔 Struggling with real event/false memory ocd is so hard. Last weekend, I was planning on committing suicide but I couldn't tell my siblings what was wrong cuz I feel like they wouldn't understand. I feel so underserved and unwanted sometimes and it would be better if I leave this earth. I would compare myself to people who done harmful things to other people, but deep down inside I'm none of these people AT ALL. Tbh, I will be surprised if I make out alive by the end of next year. I struggle with self-harm as well and there are times where I really I had to fight the urge to self-harm. This has been so horrible because I failed all my classes this semester and I'm not sure if I'm going to be back to school next semester. I just feel like a failure. I don't even remember being fully happy. At this point I just want to leave and never come back. I know my friends and family would be sad when I committ suicide, but I think they would live a better life when I'm not in it.
Been on this OCD roller coaster for 10+ years, I’m tired & nothing seems to get better. I want to leave this earth without hurting those who care about me, I’m done tbh. No hope left in me. I wish I had someone irl to talk to, cry with, someone who understands OCD (not a therapist). I hate this life.
