I feel Iike my intrusive thoughts are taking over my life. If you refer to my post before this I’m wondering if that’s why.
It’s mostly everything, I’ve heard of harm ocd and that’s what I relate to. When I get a scary thought my body becomes overwhelmed and I feel really freaked out why am I thinking that. I’m learning how to accept the thoughts but it doesn’t feel right but I feel like part of me is it’s just getting bad again and I just can’t get back up. I don’t want to live like this forever.
I’m not sure if anyone has the answers you seek. You’re not alone, many of us have a lot of fears and anxieties. None of us want to live like this forever. All anxiety thoughts are intrusive. Try to remember that tomorrow is a new day, a new beginning and not yet ruined. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way today but I hope tomorrow is better for you.
Hi Jessica, I know exactly how you feel. My intrusive thoughts dominate much of my day. I have days where I have moments of clarity then the self doubt comes in. I do try to rationalise them but it's hard when the thougts are so clear.
I have started to try and distract myself when the thoughts come in and I am trying to do more externally rather than concentrating on the internal.
You are not alone. Things will get easier. Are you taking any medication?
Thank you so much. It’s just really hard getting through this sometimes.
It goes it a cycle, I go from clear to getting a thought or urge like am I capable and then my body goes into panic I get warm and scared thinking about it. Then sometimes it’s health related not really, then sometimes it’s if I had a really stressful thing happen it gets worse again. I feel like I’m not ocd and that scares me but I constantly neee to look up reassurance that im okay and not turning into a psychopath 
I’m on 10mg of celexa almost 9 weeks, I’m better than I was but still having moments I’m scared to get help because I’ve read stories of people getting sent to a mental ward and I don’t want that
Just try to remember your thoughts are just thoughts no matter how scary they are. They are part of your anxiety. I have the most bizzare thoughts and totally irrational and when I went to see a therapist recently and said them out loud they sounded ridiculous!! But I wasn't put in a straight jacketand carted off and nor will you xx
Thank you sometimes it feels like my mind is really messing with me, I still have my rational part where I’m like you have no reason to feel this way and then another part is like but you probably should feel this way. I’m not sure it hurts me and I’m stressed because I can’t talk to anyone about it since I’m worried my family will look at me differently or be scared of me. I’m so tired though and my husband isn’t caring at all through this.
Also very stressed to be in a large crowd today because I’m scared I’ll snap or something. I don’t know how to handle this any tips? Is it a good thing I’m reaching out? Sorry reassurance again 
We all need reassurance.
I feel like I'm on auto pilot most of the time. Doing things because I know I have to. My husband is not supportive because he just doesn't understand the illness. So I feel fake all the time making out everything is fine when it's not. I'm still goinv to work and putting on my happy face so no-one knows. It is exhausting!!

Intrusive thoughts need to be addressed, that is up to you to find a way to suppress then and control your thoughts, Do you have any reasons why you are getting these. What are these thoughts about, you need to address them.
Personally I would be frightened if I was to approach someone who you have had the thought about and you try and address that problem with that person
Very destructive, How can we help
