It’s good to know there’s solid support out there, and I’m not alone in this.
Absolutly man you got this, dont be affraid to post and hopefully i will be able to guve advice for you, ive been going through ocd for a couple years it used be religious ocd
I’m so happy to have found this app and to know there are other people who are experiencing similar issues and take the time to help others.
Bren i know exactly how you feel this is my exact fear and theme. But i know this wont help but you are not going to hurt anyone or turn into anything evil. There will be moments that you will think your losing it but you are not its ocd trying to scare and convince you and you always pull through. It sucks man i know it does, everyday i ask why me, i long for my old life back and worry that im not myself anymore, but thats ocd. It will get better, with help. Keep strong man.
Thank you, i just keep thinking if I’m thinking it must be true. I keep trying to tell myself I’d never do that, and it’s not me, but then my brains like “you do want to do this, otherwise you wouldn’t think about it” and I’m scared because I’ve just started to feel numb to it because it’s so exhausting. I’ve always been a huge people person my whole life, and now I’m scared to be around people because I feel like a monster
I get where you coming from 100 percent i used to be very out going and funny and just fun loving person but rn im very quite stray away from people and when its horrific visuals i hide from people to try and calm down. Sometimes i do feel numb but yet still fight on the inside. Some days i just want to lay down and give up but i know better. Its weird that a good portion of people are fighting the same fight as me. Your not alone man and we'll make it through
Absolutely man i couldnt agree more this app does make me feel more down to earth because others can relate
I suffer from intrusive thoughts, I think I may have HARM OCD. My therapist diagnosed me with anxiety and depression but not OCD because I never told her about my thoughts. I’m afraid of being around vulnerable people, and I’m afraid for going insane. The thought of it makes me want to throw up, this all started about a week ago, and I haven’t been able to eat since then. I don’t even want to go out because I’m in constant fear. I tell myself “what if I snap?” or “what if I’m a sociopath?” I have told my parents about it and even my significant other and they tell me “you wouldn’t even hurt a fly” I kind of feel relieved after that but not for long. I’ve been trying to get closer to god, I’ve been praying, meditating, I even took magnesium because I want to stop having these thoughts. I did go to therapy right away but I wasn’t completely honest to her due to fear. I’ve been feeling numb. I love my family.. so why am I afraid I might hurt them?
Hello I am new to this application. I am 34 years old and I’m not sure if I have OCD but I’ve noticed that the last two weeks I have been having these horrible thoughts I can’t believe I am having them. It makes me so sad and scared and I can’t seem to stop crying. I’m going on week two feeling this way and can’t seem to get myself out of it. How can I possibly have thoughts about harming my child? They are the precious gift from God. They’re my flesh and bone how can I?? The anxiety I get every day has turned into having it all day and night, just the thought of How I can could possibly think of such thing, now followed by depression and lack of sleep. I have never had this problem ever up until now. I can’t even watch any crime shows or the news because it spikes my anxiety. I can’t even look at anything like knives, guns because it causes me major distress.
Hi. I’m just really scared and I want to ask questions. I have been ocd and have been really suffering since December. The intrusive thoughts come like I want them now and it’s more of a “ well oh yeah you want to do that, and it’s gonna happen” and I start panicking and can’t focus and it scares the shit out of me. Is that ocd? Or is there something wrong with my brain and I’m actually some psychopath you see in a movie? I’m terrified. Im scared to be around my family, I’m scared to be around everyone. But I’m scared to be alone as well because I’m alone with the thoughts. What if these aren’t intrusive thoughts and I’m actually some terrible person who’s gonna hurt someone or is actually some psychopath who’s crazy? I hate this so much because I use to be so happy and not have any of these intrusive thoughts or worried that I was going to to hurt someone and now I’m so scared all the time. Can someone please answer some of these questions? I just want to make sure that this is ocd and I’m not a terrible person.
