Yes! And I’m scared they will tell other people and it will just go around and around /:
Ugh yes! I started obsessing that maybe she told someone! It's the worst!
@Hopeforthefuture Ugh yes! I always make sure my username and profile picture keeps me anonymous but I’m always so scared someone knows me and yeah… ugh :(
@MRR7221 Yes! I have changed them before too 😅 just so people will think I'm different. I also worry that someone I know will get the app and someone recognize me especially because I know a girl from my college has ocd
@Hopeforthefuture Ugh it is so frustrating! We just gotta know it is highly unlikely! But our minds just want to think otherwise :(
It’s odd but I think sometimes it is harder to talk about the really odd/ridiculous fears compared to the horrifying fears 🤷🏼♀️
Yupp that’s why I don’t really tell anyone about it or at least not my friends
It's hard 😞 I talked to my mom about it and she kept telling me she thought no differently of me but I can't help but think she dles
@Hopeforthefuture Does*
@Hopeforthefuture Oh girl :( you are not those thoughts at all okay! And it doesn’t matter what your mom thinks I understand that some parents aren’t really that open about mental health stuff but just know that you’re not
@kathernyr Yeah, I keep trying to remind myself of that. She was really good to talk to about it actually. Soemtimes I will remember things I told her or someone else a long time ago and feel super anxious about having told them and what they might think. Trying to remember that my thoughts don't define me though
I am having trouble with an obsessive thought now but I am too afraid to share it even on here. 😬🤦🏼♀️
That’s me literally all the time😭
I've been there so many times!
If they’re not willing to at least try to learn about it then you deserve someone who will have the capacity to understand you then find someone else who will be there!🤍
Yep
I am so scared of everything .Of my thoughts.If I am a good person.Years ago I didnt help a kid who was in danger.Since then I started to have terrible thoughts :( i am so terrified.I still have these thoughts and I am scared it means something about me .I really dont want to hurt anyone and I want to help that kid now but idk how I can now.Also I am scared I betray everyone.I still have terrible thoughts and when I am with someone I care is worse...idk why.For example I started to talk with a collegue and he is really nice to me.I told him some things abt me( not the intrusive thoughts) and he was supportive.I have no idea if I will tell anyone abt my thoughts..and bcs of that I feel like I lie to them and betray them.I really want to enjoy my life and be happy and support people( especially because I didnt help that kid then).I want to live up to my morals now but I feel like I lie and manipulate people bcs I am a monster.Is this normal? To feel this way? What can I do? What if I am my worst fear and just cant accept it?!
So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight
Have u told ur partners about ur intrusive thoughts? I know you dont have to..but I am curious..And if you dont do you feel guilty ? And like you hide from them? If u do, how do you deal with that?
