Hey, please don't end your life. This is not the solution. I know you must be going through a lot. But I promise you, things will definately get better. Everyone makes mistakes. We're all human. Please stay.

Thank you for this, I just feel really scared. My therapist doesn’t really do much, she talks and sends some breathing exercises help. She tries to be understanding and empathetic, but still, my OCD has flared up a lot since my brother died last year, I feel like he looks down on me and hates me

@IHateMyself You're welcome. I know it must be so so hard for you right and that you might be feeling very scared but please remember that things will absolutely hey better. Please try your best not to ruminate or do any kind of compulsions including ruminating, seeking reassurance, confession, etc The compulsions makes the OCD worse. I know, it's so so hard to stop doing the compulsions but please try your best to not do any compulsions. Also, I think this therapist isn't helping you and is making your OCD worse, I think you can search for a better therapist. What about a NOCD therapist? Also, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your brother loves you so much. He always will love you so much. Your brother absolutely doesn't look down on you and he absolutely doesn't hate you. Stay strong, buddy. ❤️

@itsAnna I think if this therapist isn't helping you and is making your OCD worse then you can search for a better therapist. What about a OCD therapist?*

@IHateMyself I'm sorry to hear that. I know they are expensive but please don't give up. Please remember that things will get better. Please stay. There is hope. Also, can you talk to your family about your OCD? Maybe they can help you find a better therapist?❤️ Also I'm sorry I don't know the meaning of insurance. English isn't my first language 😭

Please call the national suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-8255 Or text the crisis text line 741741

People don't report posts from people seeking reassurance to be mean. They do because they know giving reassurance only makes things worse in the long run. Seeking reassurance is a compulsion. Yes, it relieves your anxiety short term, but it also increases the strength and number of your intrusive thoughts. It also makes your OCD worse. Suicide is not the answer. If you haven't already, please get a counselor that understands OCD and specializes in ERP. You don't have to keep letting OCD control your life. Recovery won't come quick or easy, but it is possible.

I don’t know how to take it, I’ve just done so many gross stuff as a kid, like I’ve never assaulted or done anything like that, but still gross, my mom says I was a kid and everyone does dumb stuff, and that I’ve learned, but I can’t. I don’t deserve the family I have, I hate myself so much, always have, but OCD has made me realize this so much more, I think it’s won

@IHateMyself It only wins if you quit and stop fighting.

Please please, don’t do this. There were thoughts and things I didn’t think I would never get rid of, I didn’t want to get out of bed, and I know you’ve heard this 100 times, but it does get better. It really does, even on days you feel like you’re at you worse, it will get better. I didn’t believe that for a very long time, but now I do. You should definitely go see a different therapist, and the suicide hotline will help you as well.

I don’t care if everything you’re afraid of is true, I don’t care if you are the most horrible person, let’s say all your ocd is true, you deserve to be alive. You are a human being with a 1 in a 7 billion life, you are valuable at your worst just as you are valuable at your best. Right now you are in a lot of pain and that’s ok, give your self empathy and compassion and love. And please please remember there is nothing in life that you can’t overcome. Nothing.

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

17f I have a lot of events, but my main and my worst one which is absolutely fucking diabolical was done when I was 14 and repeated when I was 16. Everytime I post something about real event ocd here people are like you are probably didn't do anything that bad, and when they hear what I did they are like yeah that's bad. Someone even asked me if I'm autistic cause "it's crazy how you didn't realize that the thing ypu were doing was wrong at this age." And I kinda agree, like it's fucked up It's just that my event is bad. Doesn't mean I don't have real event ocd. You can have a reocd over the event that was bad, it doesn't mean the event wasn't that bad or you don't have recod. It's just people always expect it to be something innocent and it's not Even a healthy person would feel guilty over it, it's just that I had ocd my whole life and it's making the guilt absolutely destructive, like to the point when I sometimes have a hard time breathing when I think about it, I lost more than a year of life to it, almost checked myself out couple of times if I wasn't so scared of pain/failure, the event haunts me in my dreams, it's in my head 24/7 and I will never able to forgive myself. That ocd. But the event itself was bad. So maybe i deserve it.

i feel like i have been posting a lot about this and i will try to stop since now but i just don't know where to start or what to do, and i can't take therapy right now either. my event is about something that did actually happen; i had a boyfriend and we had a 1.5 age difference (i know this sounds stupid) but the thing is that we both started to sext a lot since he was 14 and i was 15. we shared audios videos pictures ect and i don't know how to just let this go, even when i know that i never really forced him into anything and i was always constantly worried about him being comfortable, when to stop and ect. the memories keep coming back to my mind and the guilt is eating me up slowly because i keep thinking that i'm a predator or a groomer or something like that. i don't know how to deal with the what ifs either, lately i haven't stopped thinking what if i sexually harassed or sexually exploited him or something like that. how do i deal with the cycle of guilt and constant what ifs if i also feel like my event is worse than others i've seen? please help me with this. it's getting a lil tiring and even if somedays i know how to deal with this, i still get really triggered sometimes. this wouldn't even bother me before, i wish i could just get back in time before this theme popped into my mind. my life has been a hell since then and i live constantly scared and suicidal.
