Im new here and quite weary of this whole thing ocd , Im 30 years old and just recently in the past 2 years or so, its gotten surprisingly worse...actually to the point where im able to admit I might be obsessive compulsive...
bad thoughts and so on, images, stress, I would never do anything based on these thoughts, but they bother me cause they stick in my head, sometimes watching a horror movie or pictures or articles....something triggers me to think of loved ones in the same situations and me being on the other end...like i said, i would never do anything and i often think about it so hard it scares me and i realize different and that its foolish and weird...but i wanna know why, and why now, im 30...i am stressed out a lot for no real reasons..but def find myself thinking so many irrational thoughts, i find it like this more often when im alone...and def when im stressed out..
what can i do...
i wanna be how i was just so long ago, i was fine....i hate these unjust thoughts...why in my head?
Ive tried no out loud and it worked, but i cant keep doing that..lol.

thanks everyone..and i look forward to chatting.

I understand how you feel. I have those same feelings a lot of the time. This time of year makes things harder. Have you seen a doc since youve felt this way? I was put on meds and it DOES help. If there is anything I can do to help pm me and I will email you. I am always online. I am here to help. You are in the right place.

Keep coming back. welcome!

Stressed,

I know how frustrating it is. Even though you logically know that the odds of one of the thoughts coming true are a million to one, you are still scared out of your mind! But C is right, the meds help a lot.

thanks guys, its always nice to get some answers and ideas as to what avenue I can go with...i want no odds...lol, million to one aint good enough..lol.
In the case of meds, what can of meds do docs prescribe to such a case....what do they do?...as far as this kind of thing occuring in a persons head, why does it occur, when it never occured before, growing up, teens, I was fine, is it stress related?...
