Does anyone else have these thoughts?

Postby savingkie » Fri Apr 04, 2014 1:45 am

Hi! I have pure obsessional OCD and I'm 15, but I've had OCD since age 5! I've had different types of harm OCD and I actually just came out of a really rough spike in my OCD, but I was wondering, does anyone get thoughts among the lines of:
-What if I kill myself tomorrow?
-What if I die before next year?
-There's no way I'll graduate high school, I won't be able to make it to next year!
-I won't make it another day!
-I won't see my friend for four months, what if I'm dead by the time he gets back?

It's not that I don't want to make it another day, they're just these super annoying intrusive thoughts, but they worry me a lot because I've never heard another OCD sufferer say they've had similar thoughts. Is there anyway I could try to reduce these thoughts? (Besides the normal guidelines, like trying to avoid overthinking/analyzing and mental checking)

Hi savingkie

Yes!! I have these thoughts all the time wow i thought i was the only one
I always have the thought that i wont make it till next year or that i wont make
It another day i also get worried if i have an event and think to myself
I wont make it to that event i will die before that day also when someone
Is going overseas i think to myself im not going to see them im going to die
Before they come back. Sorry I cant give u much help because i need
Help myself but let me reassure u that it is just ur ocd playing with ur mind
I know how hard it is to live with ocd and no matter how many times i convince
Myself that it is ocd playing with my mind i still get scared and have panic attacks.
U are not alone!! I feel talking to people that have the same problem as me helps
I hope i helped u out a little.
