Hey I know that this time is really hard right now. I have that same hopeless feeling. But please know that there are people who care about you and want to help you get better. Whether it’s a stranger on the internet, or a family member in real life. There are people who care about you. Are you on medicine or in communication with a therapist? I have harm ocd (and have dealt with pocd themes) and I value my family and society more than anything in the world. I understand that awful feeling. Know you aren’t alone. Know you are resilient

@cyb3rgurl Try talking to a doctor aswell. Meds can do wonder for people. Sad they are stigmatized

I’ve felt this way a lot too. But if you stop ruminating and stop paying attention to the thoughts and stop trying to figure things out, it will get easier. You need to commit to doing that. Just because you have a thought doesn’t mean it’s true. I would keep calling around for therapists and make them aware it’s pretty urgent. I would also see your primary care doctor if you can’t get it with a psychiatrist right away and get on meds.
