That can’t be true, I have felt suicidal many times when my OCD is really bad and I’m going through a depressive episode.

Yeah I googled it and it says people with OCD are 10x more likely to experience suicidal thoughts due to depression episodes

Thank you that makes me feel much better. And I’m not sure if it’s actually feeling suicidal or just super super destressed and bothered by the thoughts. I had like 24 hours of no breaks from the thoughts so I was feeling completely horrible

Like dying would be so much better than constantly fighting my brain

Glad that you're feeling better I've tried committing suicide a number of times because of how bad my anxiety gets due to intrusive thoughts I bet you're friend really doesn't know the actual meaning of OCD and just looks at the tip of the iceberg (like obsessed with washing hands, being perfect etc)

Yeah I’m not sure but it really hurt my feelings bc she has bad anxiety and she’s pretty much always depressed. I would never tell her how to feel or anything

I don’t ever have a plan but probably 3 times I have gotten in so much distress bc I can’t make them stop and I don’t know how to put into words other than wanting to die I think

Yeah, it happens, OCD does make you feel suicidal to some extent

Right and maybe it’s bad wording maybe it’s more of the intrusive thoughts that ocd causes or the depression that it can cause .

Yeah it didn’t help at all because it just made me more anxious that I’m just making things up and it’s really not ocd and I made an appointment last night to see a therapist from the app, tonight as a regular therapist encouraged the complusions, and gave tons of reassurance and said things that made the intrusive thoughts way worse

It's hard to talk about this kind of problems, people always say bad things because they don't understand our problems or what we are passing through, my boyfriend once told me that "i was creating my problems" like our obssessions is a choice. We don't choose to be this way! How was your appointment with her?!

Yeah I have had 2 therapist tell me that now... and I haven’t had my appointment yet, it is tonight (it is noon where I am) I’m terrified of going and wanting to cancel bc if she says I don’t have OCD I’m just making it up then I’m going to be much worse

@Justmesadly I'm sure it won't happen, people from the app knows how bad is living with OCD, they understand exactly what you are going through, don't give up, ok? Let me know when the appoinment is finished! It's going to be alright.

@Justmesadly I am here. I understand you! And doing therapy, seeking for help is the first part of the process...

@yulsic I have sought therapy before and she made it much worse. But I think if I don’t seek help again I’ll never be okay

@Justmesadly Exactly, now I think you found the right place to start a new life.

But of course people with OCD will feel suicide! It's sad living a war inside every single day. People get tired! I have a cousin with OCD too and like me, she feels suicide as well.

I wish I could have an appointment with some therapist from NOCD, but it's not available in my country. Unfortunately!

I don't read all the other comments because I am bored and I want to answer you this. Feeling suicidal is a Kind of Compulsion. I was talking with my therapist. When my OCD was in flames 8 months ago I was thinking only my obsession and how to organise my suicide in case that I would lose control and do something bad. I told her that. She told me that I have many steps till I'll commit a suicide and If i wanted to do it she would immediately understand it. Three months later i told her that i still wanted to die (sometimes even now I want to ) But I know that I will not do it... And then she told me that suicidal thoughts are a kind of compulsion. The thought of death is connected with the end of the suffering and of difficulties. So thinking about death is something that makes you feel better. So OCD people have suicidal thoughts as and many other people because they reliefs us and that's what a compulsion gives you, a small time relief of a stressful thought

It was fine. They are working on finding a therapist that works when I am free, apparently the therapist they told me were available aren’t available so now I’m worried I won’t get help
