Hi

I have these intrusive and permanent idea who keep making me up and down in my mood. One moment they're nice just to be cruel afterward. They are managing to make me believe that I should be scared all the time. I don't know what to do. I can't live this anymore. I wanna die. bue then I'm scared of death. Did anybody overcome ocd by their own ? Or did you need medication ?
They made me only able to believe bad thing about me, but they would say nice things to me, just to take them back and make me feel miserable. I lost faith in everything. PLEASE HELP

it is challenging to overcome these types of thoughts on your own. you have to be very persistent and use much positive self talk in ignoring and redirecting the thoughts. many people do resort to medication to help manage these thoughts. take care.

Are the thoughts your own? Or are they another 'voice' just wanted to check as wasn't sure from your post. Can you get therapy? I would highly recommend it. For self help http://www.getselfhelp.co.uk is a great cbt website with techniques for changeling your thoughts.

They are my own, I clearly recognize them as such, but somehow, I can't control them, and they're just annoying.

I have the same thoughts as you and sought professional help. I'm in therapy and also take medication, I could never handle this on my own.

Hi Intrusivn!

I have the same problem as you do. I have a really good friend that I talk to on a daily basis and he helped me distinguish the self hurt and self hate talk as i never even knew I was doing it.
It is really difficult to do on your own, but I find that on days it is really bad, I keep myself busy with anything that does not allow me to think. On good days I try to find the source of the self hate. "you are worthless" - then I ask myself why? And I start identifying possible reasons for this or find positives to cancel it out. But it is very difficult to do, and takes some practice and a lot of time. I also started a depression journal as it was suggested that it is easier to control thoughts when writing them down. It also helps to slow my mind down as it tends to race around.

Hope this helps you! Good luck
