Guest fand4eva Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Was diagnosed with ocd in 2003 after birth of second daughter, my thoughts were and usually are around harming her but that's been gone for about a year, no started having fleeting thoughts about suicide that have scared me, Does anyone here get these thoughts I'm not a suicidal person and I don't want to die, Im scared these are going to get worse and I'll lose control and do something to my self Link to comment
Symps07 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Tbh fand4eva, you just have to treat these thoughts the same as you did the old ones. It's easy to look at them as something else, something different, but at the end of the day though the thoughts may be new too you, it's still the old enemy, OCD. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Suicide is a possible OCD theme. We've seen it before. People get obsessions about suicide, just like they would about contamination or any other OCD theme. Treat it as OCD. Link to comment
gingerbreadgirl Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I agree - this is an OCD theme I've often seen before, like harm OCD but towards yourself. You need to use the same tools you've used for other themes in the past. Good luck x Link to comment
