OCD and Scary Thoughts

[kenroy916]

@MultiMikko1234 All I can do is offer advice. First recognize that they are just thoughts and totally harmless no matter fucked up they get. Second DO NOT sit and dwell on them or let them stop you from doing what you love. Third what fuels them is anxiety and fear and you must not allow yourself to have either this may take time. And last your mind can play twisted games with you for sure but this DOES NOT mean your losing your sanity! KEEP THE FAITH NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

dealing this 5 years and continuing ugh from religious thoughts to murder thoughts to religous thoughts, to depression etc..

[Pottercrazygirl]

@nightcrawler511 my ocd just developed...and looks like i'm having the same pattern as you..only that i had the period where everything was fine , i was just being ..like letting the thoughts come and then letting them go.

[Imyourcounciousness]

what this guy says reminds me of one of my sisters who is the black sheep of the family. the only person she is sorry for is herself...

[Imyourcounciousness]

I have a constant obsession with the thought of stabbin myself in my heart. ive been hurt&used, but it never crossed my mind to revenge my predators, although i had many chances. It just makes me wanna destroy myself instead...

[miissmiaa]

If anyone of you want to chat with me about your ocd experience you can add me on mom (mapofmates) / mia

Another thing that people should do is avoid places that are very special to them while they're going through a bad streak and go to a place that they rarely or never have visited. I have a very hard time now going to my room at my dads house or going to te each near my house because I spent slot of time there thinking during my last big panic. Stay real guys it's as hard for me to say as it is for you but it ends in time , and I know that cause it ended once before and also when you are feelin

I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts for a long time almost 6 yrs, but with a 3 yr break in the middle. When I first began it was alll about cigarettes. I was in 5th grade and could think about anything except smoking and I got anxious and hot and couldn't sleep. After a while the big one came, I couldn't stop thinking of stabbing my mom in her sleep. This went away almost immediately when I moved out of my moms apartment and we got a new house. This July it all came back while I was

[philosophyheal]

strange to hear ocd, psychopathic and sociopathic at the sametime, why is that are they all realated?

[oedipusrexsophocles]

@philosophyheal No, he's contrasting OCD with sociopathy/phychopathy. The latter were always this way and always will be, while OCD people have these thoughts and rituals develop over time (and don't act on thoughts involving harming other people) and can learn to deal with the thoughts and anxiety.

[noprettycool]

okay , nt all people with ocd thoughts act on them !

[TheGenuinejenny]

Ithink I have OCD. My mind thinks, "Do this or else this person will die."

Do I have OCD?

[MultiMikko1234]

@TheGenuinejenny how strong and how often r the thoughts?

[HungKiet]

I hate OCD!!!!!!!!!!!

[woozletooz]

This is brilliant. Thank you

[1ukjunglednbraver]

i have alot of thoughts bad thoughts sometimes...the not bad things i normally do like saying words ..but holding a knife and having the thought stab your girlfriend isnt nice...i wouldnt ever hold a gun for that reason

[TiteProducts]

I think about bad stuff all the time, like throwing stuff I like out the window of a moving car, stabbing my family or harming people in many ways. If I try to change the thought to make me do something else in my head, it rewinds to where I changed it and keeps playing over and over. I'm not sure if it might be OCD or something but it has been going on my whole life and sometimes becomes really bothersome.

[prettysorryeyes]

this guy just totally freaked out all the people that came here for some sort of answers. will we turn into bad people if we keep having bad thoughts?

[NinoCompany]

Please help me people, I have problem to det rid of my bad thoughts, seriosly i need some advice.

[nevertolive]

Sometimes inside my head, I make a deal with another entity- the devil maybe- to do a certain thing in a certain amount of time or else time will be taken off my life span.

OCD for 6 years now.

[aghawkins1]

Is he saying that people who have always acted on scary thoughts will be scary people and people who have OCD who have scary thoughts but never act on them never will?

Exactly what does this video have to do with OCD?

[whatchukno100]

Whoa did this guy mean that people who have those thoughts could turn into bad people over time?

[adaptivardware]

talking about very bad people, how does this relate to OCD? it's disturbing! i'm trying to concentrate, and it's very hard. i've been abused as a child, and really don't feel that that's necessary or helpful. Plus, a lot of people feel that very bad people can be reformed. They do too have psychiatric illnesses!

[Imseeingstarz1]

this is great, this will be a great memory tool to play every time I feel that anxiety  to use against the battle of reasoning with my mind. As soon as I wake up ITS THERE. THE THOUGHTS. THE FUCKEN THOUGHTS.EVER SINCE I STOPPED SMOKING METH HAVE THEY RETURNED. I NEED TO SMOKEm SMOKE MY LIFE AWAY. ITS THE ONLY PEACE I CAN FIND

[SeanCky24]

What about a video on OCD vs GAD and or OCD VS Bipolar scary thoughts



[DaTruthsHere]

thanks, this has got me even more worried but i just ignore it and forget it 

[150h]

hey guys. im 15 and have been having thoughts about harming my family and others around me, i do hunt and use guns very often and am a little frightened by these thoughts. I get a weird feeling in my when i think of these things my stomach just turns.

[MrDancalvin1983]

@150h yeh man i get the same thoughts,when they kick in i get upset,i will never harm no1 but i dont know why i get these thoughts,you just need to ignore them man

[visionimagify]

@MrDancalvin1983 I know what you mean. I get random thoughts. Things I would NEVER EVER think about doing. All day they exist in my mind and I try hard to take them out, but they keep coming. That thought about harming may go for a week, then another thought about something else comes and it's disgusting.

[VITAiskhaosx]

basically but it is really difficult and therefore it needs a lot of time

best of wishes:)

[MechPhantom]

i often hv the sexual thoguht , like for example when i see a girl who wears skimpy clothes i hv thoughts of hving sex with her and stuff like that. Im afraid 1 day i will really do it to a girl . So any advice? i used to hv murder thoguht but its less .

[VITAiskhaosx]

i had those too and not only about a girl. i would sit in a class and have that about everyone:(

again try to just let them come to you and relax. let them be and soon enought they will start disappearing because your mind will get "bored" with a thought. and just know that you're not going to do this no matter what is running through your mind :)

[palkiabros]

It's hard to ignore the thoughts when they're just bursts as "say blah or x will die."

[ElderScrolls7]

@palkiabros

I hear you.... :(

I am wasting my life because of them...

[dwolski03]

More word needs to be out there about the intrusive thoughts related to this disorder, because many people are scared to come forward with things like intrusive thoughts when they don't know its caused by ocd. They have a fear that they might be capable of it. understanding that its ocd has helped me loads! I don't feel as much anxiety about the thoughts knowing that they are just ocd thoughts

[trendog88]

this girl i have started seeing. i like her a lot and she has both OCD & OCPD. im trying my hardest to understand these so i can understand her, it is hard.

[maroon5lvr28]

Why were you talking about OCPD in the begining? Never mind that.. I've never acted on my OCD before but the extent of my thoughts have no bounds. A mixture of murder, rape (both ways), and for some odd reason constant flipping... (I have no clue what the flipping is about)

[MechPhantom]

HEY UR the SAME as me !! so how did u overcome it ? i need advice thx

[maroon5lvr28]

Someone once told me that if your brain keeps repeating things that you dont like. Then there is something that needs to be fixed. Try letting the thoughts come in slower and slower to the point where you can handle them. If you relax and realize no one else can see it but you then its alot easier. Anytime I would try to force the thoughts out they just got worse. Wich was why I tried to kill myself before. If you fight it, it fights back. Just let it happen and soon you'll be used to it.

[MechPhantom]

thx soo mcuh man i feel better now . So just relax and let it be and it will be better? thx soo mcun again

[MechPhantom]

hey so ah i got a questyion. So wat ur trying to say is dat just let the thoughts come but just ignore and dont respond to them? is dat it ? cause wat u say" try letting it come in slower and slower" is kinda hard lol. pls elaborate more thx so much

[maroon5lvr28]

Its a comfort zone, if you let it in all at once it will only distress you and make it worse. If you take it little by little you can tune yourself to relax when the thoughts come back.

[MechPhantom]

sry did u get my reply previously?

[MechPhantom]

Bro wat u mean by "just let it happen" is it like just ignore the thoughts and dont respond to it cause its not true?? or other techniques? thx

[maroon5lvr28]

I'll make it simple, yes ignore the thoughts. The thoughts that are coming back make you uncomfortable right? So yes just learn to deal with the fact that you dont have control over it. If you do breathing techniques you can settle yourself down and your emotions wont go through the roof because it makes you feel scared, violated or anything else. I recommend meditation, if not that try not to dwell on thoughts to much. Go excercise and that may take away some of the stress it puts on you.

[MechPhantom]

so like jsut ignore the thoughhts and dont respond to it cause its not true rite? so how long do u take to overcome this ? thx

[maroon5lvr28]

Exactly, It acctualy didnt take very long. I tried to commit sucide because of my OCD about 6 years ago. But 2 years later I found out how to deal with it and started managing in as little as a couple of weeks to a month.

[MechPhantom]

thx so much for ur help man i really do,but the problem here is that the thoughts just keep coming in endlessly like u , the thoguhts bout murder,i have thoguhts about killing people,beating them and stuff like dat and also like u the rape thoughts also u know the kind of thoguht rite? so like wat u mean by "ignore the toughts"?do u like distract urself or sumting? im afrraid dat i will really do this toughts out 1 day i need ur help. like wat i need to keep in mind wen the toguhts comes? thx

[VITAiskhaosx]

Hey. I don't think you should try to distruct yourself. That's what I do but it doesn't help with the treatment although it happens in the short run. You just have to let the thoughts be there but don't respond to them. If you imagine killing your sibling with a knife while you're cooking, don't hide away all the knifes. Just keep thinking it, knowing that it will not happen, and after a while, it will go away. I know it is hard :(

[MechPhantom]

thx soo mcuh man i realy realy reayl (X 1000000000000000) appreaciate it man. So just dont respond to it>?
