That’s how this works I’m struggling with both harm and existential OCD

It’s just so hard. It’s such a specific thought related to my theme and it won’t go away.

I will tell you something, and you can take it or leave it. But there is an amazing reality that you might not know exists yet. The reality looks like this: you continue to have the thought, but you don’t care anymore. And you start to enjoy life again, even when the thought is present. Eventually the thought begins to disappear, but if it came back again it wouldn’t matter. You would still be happy and peaceful. This exists. It’s happened to me with thoughts that I thought would torture me for the rest of my life. The secret or not so secret truth, is you will get better once you accept this thought and don’t try to escape from it. Give it a chance to exist with you, and give it room. Nothing worse can happen if you just let it exist and you don’t give in to compulsions. Try it and see what magic comes your way

Obsessive thought
I’m tired of thinking about the same OCD thought to “kill mom” it just doesn’t leave. I try to break the cycle but when it’s broken it just sits there and waits to be interacted with. Idk what to do im tired of it. And it makes me feel like a psycho path and I’m tired of not feeling like myself.

OCD
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩

Real event
I’m stuck in a loop, I can’t stop avoiding the thoughts by watching tik tok, I’m paralyzed on the couch, I’m searching for clues everywhere that something bad is happening I don’t know how to go on like this anymore my fears are so strong so present they feel so real. Any mention of the future sends my whole body into panic. My arms go numb, I can’t keep living like this i feel like I’m going crazy
