I’m so sorry you feel that way. I have felt that way in the past, so I understand where you’re at right now. But life is so magical when it gets down to it. Why don’t you make a list of five things you think are awesome about this world. They can be anything. Example; Honey bees, the ocean, sunsets, dogs, family, music, hobbies, passions; whatever makes you happy. Also I just want to say that God loves you, and he wants you to live. He put you here for a reason. ❤️🙏Maybe you don’t believe in God, but there is certainly some meaning to this life, no matter what you call it.
Same....dont worry we are in this together
Look how many of us want you to stay! Having Existential OCD I’ve suffered from intense suicidal thoughts myself. But something to tell yourself when you’re in this dark place is you can always defer the decision to end your life. You don’t have to choose to do it now. Life is suffering, but if you can take that suffering and turn into meaning, then all that suffering is worth it. Perhaps one day all your pain will be for the purpose of helping someone else just like you heal. Listen to the OCD stories podcast if you need to find someone to relate to. They often have people come on and discuss different themes of OCD. Keep holding on my friend. Do 100 jumping jacks now if you need to get all that negative energy out of you. Why, you may ask? Because you know deep down that your life has value.
But not really bc who are you?
Dont worry...i remember u. Uve been through HOCD like me. I have really bad suicidal thoughts whenever im upset or angry it triggers them. I always think of wanting to get run over or stab my brain or choke myself to death or even drown myself purposely or even stab myself. I still have them ur not alone
@Anonymous help No that wasn’t me. I have the default name and pic. I’m kinda calming down but I feel like I only am bc the thought of ending it
@Anonymous I know its a great way to get your mind off of the thoughts but remember you are loved...its hard for me to say that because sometimes i dont practice what i preach
@Anonymous help Yeah same. Everyone’s like you need to start loving yourself. Well I’m trying. Maybe it’s hard to not hate myself idk what it’s not working
@Anonymous I know...Question. Do you feel like your fighting a second person throughout all of this?
@Anonymous help Yeah
This is happening to me too, but I’m still here and in spite of what my thoughts do, I won’t allow that to change.
I feel this a lot especially when I’m spiraling in thoughts and need a way to attempt to get rid of it. We’re all here together and it does get better I promise
When I said “why you ask” I was referring to the thought of choosing to help yourself “When confronted with life and death, choose life.”
i have intrusive thoughts and they make me want to die
So I haven’t been able to sleep at all lately so I was like what if u think of the thoughts and do them they will bring you peace so I thought of one of the bad thoughts. I am thinking about not living anymore and idek. I am such a bad person.
Im just stuck thinking if there will ever be an end to this awful feeling, if ill ever be able to be at peace and happy with my life without intrusive thoughts ruining everything for me
