CAH_05 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Ok so I’ve had enough of feeling like this (even that spikes me) so I have suicidal theme OCD and I hate it. It tortures me. anyway the past few days I have felt so low and depressed with constant thoughts and anxiety. The only time I’m not consumed in this fear is when I am asleep. I have tried to cut down on compulsions but this doesn’t seem enough so I’ve decided today to start doing my own exposures. so today I have wrote on a flash card ‘I can’t handle these feelings of anxiety and depression and this will lead me to want to commit suicide’ and I plan on reading and re writing it all through the day. does this sound like I am going along the right tracks with exposure? My anxiety is so high right now and I know I am slightly obsessing about doing therapy correctly Link to comment
