Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
It has been 11 years since i last self harmed.
Now i find my head having really really horrible thoughts of hurting myself...Would never act upon them,but they are horrific.
And they just plague me.
i know this is OCD.
My pdoc/tdoc agrees.
i am so sick of these awful intrusive thoughts that i can't seem to stop as i have no compulsion to go along with them...
Ugh.....i so hate when people assume OCD is just about checking and cleaning.
My heart does go out to those who do suffer from that type of OCD,but pure O is bad as well.
Anyway,just sharing...today the thoughts have been bad....
I truly feel for you. It's maddening, scary, & depressing.
Every single day I batteled with it all day. Weirdly it just disappeared eventually. Now I have a new obsession which I've had for 6 years & drives me nuts.
It literally makes you want to kill yourself just to shut it up. Not bc you actually want to die but bc you just want some peace & quiet.
I am very sorry this is happening to you. I wish I had some advice or a solution. I hope it gets better with time.
i'm so sorry you can relate.....it does indeed get to the point of desperation at times.
i hope you get better with what you are now going through as well.
