These are common OCD fears. #1 I’d rather be “crazy” than have OCD. I really don’t think there’s any worse condition than OCD. And #2 who cares if you’re being dramatic? Like aren’t we all dramatic sometimes? Why should we fee shame over that.

OCD is playing tricks on you! I get these same fears, that one day I’ll have a break down and do something drastic, or that my mental state will get worse. But my therapist reminded me that it’s not something we need to worry about because we can’t control the future, and it’s best to be present, try to be mindful of ourselves in the now, realize you’re okay because you’re here in this community and you are in the drivers seat.

You are not alone in this it just “feels” that way!! I experienced the same thing!!! OCD wants to isolate you and create a fear that you can’t talk to anyon because they will judge you and that is simply not true!! I thought I was losing my mind and it was scary and is when you are going through it!!! But remind yourself that this is just ocd!!!!! You didn’t do anything to deserve this, God doesn’t operate that way either! Psalm 103 says he does not treat us as our sins deserve but has love and compassion for us! We just have a faulty mechanism in our brains but we can retrain it, it takes time but you know what?!!!!! This is making you stronger than you know right now!!! Your going to come out the other side of this and be able to help someone else because you walked the difficult path ahead of them!!! Keep going!!!! God loves you and so do we!!!!! <><

I went to bed one night in November, and I can't quite say what happened, but I believed that I had a "memory" from childhood. I won't discuss what, but I had "remembered" doing something sickeningly awful. This thing came to me almost as clear as a real memory. I remember thinking something along the lines of 'How could I forget doing something like that?' followed by a feeling of complete horror and terror. I have moments of "clarity" where I can't believe that I'm questioning doing this thing, and it appears obvious that it's false. But now, I'm more than often believing that I did. I am spending 24/7 fighting my head, and it's taking me to dark places. I know this is the worst thing to do, but you don't understand, if this is real then I am a monster and I can't just adopt the 'maybe I did, maybe I didn't approach'. I just can't. I have to know. I'm so scared. My entire life is on the line. I don't have anyone to talk to about this. Literally no one. I feel like I'm insane, like I'm a monster, like I'm hiding my true identity from everyone I love. Does this sound like False Memory? Or am I in denial, trying to convince myself this didn't happen? Why does it feel so real? And why do I have moments of clarity? I also had my first nightmare about it last night. Please someone help me.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
