Q: can ocd kill you?

A: that would depend what it was you was obsessing over, I mean if you was obsessed with dying then maybe it could.

Q: My OCD is killing me inside. ?
This is going to sound like the stupidest thing in the world, and it is, but what my OCD does is make me wish for bad things to happen, things I would never actually want. If I don’t recite the “bad wish” I feel like whatever the wish was will actually come true, and I feel anxious until I recite it. And once I do recite it, I still feel like it will come true, and I feel guilty. Eventually reality kicks in and that guilt passes, but then the OCD process starts up again.

I KNOW how ridiculous and self-contradictory this is, and I know that my thoughts have no influence on reality. But it’s just the way my disorder works, and the feeling of anxiety that I get whether I make the “wish” or not is like a sickness inside of me that returns time and time again.

I just wanted to hear some other peoples’ opinions. I tried meds and they made things worse for me. Please, I don’t want to hear, “You’re stupid,” or, “That makes no sense,” because I realize that. I just can’t get rid my neurotic notions and anxiety.

A: Have you tried behavior therapy? My friend has OCD and he takes meds and has behavior therapy.

Q: can ocd and anxiety kill you? im only 21?

A: OCD and anxiety disorders can lead to other complications (depression being the most common) and unhealthy eating, drug, alcohol and exercise habits which can lead to very poor health or premature death. That is why it is important to get properly diagnosed and treated for OCD and anxiety. Anxiety disorders are the common colds of psychological disturbances: they are incredibly easy to treat and have an excellent chances for recovery.

Q: Would taking two OCD pills and a shot of vodka kill you?
i don’t wan’t to die, but i can’t stand my mental state anymore
@cookielicka420, even in this mental state, i lol’d. btw i dunno if your a stoner, or a nazi bitch either way, stop trolling.

A: Call poison control they’ll tell you whether or not to go to the hospital

Q: Would these photos scare you?

Ben…

Annorexia… that means your a pervert? Because you seen my boddy that way… eww.

Over dose, it’s meant to look over staged, it’s not real… but it’s meant to reflect.

OCD : OCD can be when you wash your hands so much to get off dirt and germs they bleed, so the blood form my hands… DUH.

Depression: Fair enough maybe it does, but “emos” are “emo”tional and they are depressed too, so it is depression…

Gosh…

A: OCD is the most disturbing I would say.

The overdose is very dramatized. When I overdosed on OxyContin I was very peaceful and serene, and there weren’t pills everywhere. It was utter hell when they gave me a shot of that Narcan though.

Q: How do I get my parents to believe me that I have OCD?
I’m 15 and I’m almost positive I have OCD. I was always scared to tell me mom because she doesn’t believe in taking a pill to help you with things. Until this morning, I finally got the urg to say something. And I’ll I get in return is “Your not OCD, you just want the pills so you can get high.”

A little about my past… I did smoke alot, I popped bars (xanax) at-least once a week, did hydrocodone, tramadole, and all other pills. So I can kinda see where they might see me doing that.

But all I want them to do is to take me to get a test done from a therapist. But they won’t do that. And this OCD is fucking killing me!

A: Talk to your school’s counselor or a trusted teacher about exactly what you said here, they will be able to guide you in the right direction. Who knows, maybe they could even talk to your parents with you.

Q: Would you please advice on nosy neighbour(s) ?
I have a nieghbour who is constantly spying and filming me.I am currently struggling with OCD which has forced me to stop working (been dismissed from some jobs).I am sandwiched between 2 neighbours who are friends and they are forever on my case.The walls are paper thin and they are always talking about me.I have heard this 2 housewives call all names under the sun and recently one of them has been filming me and using those films for “family/friends entertainment”.Ithink they sort of call each other on the phone or something when they seeme(i suspect).I saw her once so put up a thicker curtain but did bot have enough evidence ato confront her.I was recently hanging clothes on the line and she did it again.I did not see her,but i could hear all the laughing,name calling,abuse and her giving a commentary about me.I have heard enough of this business as i am trying hard not to act out this Ocd thing but she has put me under so much stress for fear of “messing up while performing tasks” that i trip and my behaviour has got worse.I am now a laughing stock and needless to say i expect alot of name calling on the streets from this teenagers and their friends.I live in a run down area and that doesn’t help matters.
What this woman doesn’t know is that i know what she has been doing.I am so fed up with life that i do not care whether i live or die.I sometimes think of suicide asi have been fighting this oppressing will for too long(OCD).I am in my 20’s and don’t have much to lose(no wife/kids etc).I am always having thoughts of “dealing with her properly” as i could care less what happens to me.Frankly,i do not even fear death anymore.My will is being worn out as time passes.I am not a violent person and would/hate to get in to needless confrontations.I do not want to wreck a family for such a needless thing.It is obvious this thing has spread around as all i hear is people talking about me.Is crazy or stupid ?Well i have heard enough and i will not be messed about with when i have not wronged anyone,let alone talk to them.
All i want is to get my act together and enrol for a physics degree at university(that is what is keeping me above water).I have seen a psychiatrist,clinical psychologist and they have done nothing for me.I guess i am the onlyone that can help myself,even if i die doing it.Marijuana is what i have tried to get hold of to calm/numb my pain but all they sell is rubbish.I will give it amiss for now but i feel like timeis running out.
I have been thinking of politely confronting her and telling her that i know what she has been doing,but she could easily deny it.I have not caught her in the act as it would be very difficult/impossible but i know from the conversations i hear and how she talks the kids and friends through her “surveillance videos”.I would not be surprised if those videos are post all over to humiliate me.I accept my behaviour is sometimes not normal( abit quacky) but it is in the privacy of my home and try very hard(drink vodka) when going out to “kill the mental battle”.I know the only way to deal with this would be to kill the OCD and all this will stop.As i said before,even if i die fighting this,that is fine,as i feel already dead.
Sorry if it seems too long,i guess i just got carried away.I would really appreciate your honest and brutal opinion on this.Thank you.

Please excuse the poor sentence structure/poor spelling as i have done it really quickly.Thank you.
Sorry. OCD means Obsessive Compulsive Disoder

A: I know nothing of OCD and will not attempt to patronise you in anyway.

The people you live next door to are Morons:

Morons enjoy mindless spectator ship, in your case, filming you in the hope of catching you doing something clumsy and humiliating. Morons do not appreciate anybody who is NOT a Moron, or anybody else who stands out slightly from the crowd.

Morons like to watch Big Brother and the like.

The Morons, however, are expecting you to explode into a furious rage, which they will Absolutely love. Do not give them this opportunity.. compose yourself and do not react. No matter what crap they say about you behind those walls, you are a dignified human being and you are to act accordingly. A dignified human being does not smoke cannabis or drink vodka at home in an attempt to block out the world.

If you are to do a Degree, you are to keep a clean mind. Do not let YOURSELF get in your own way. More to the point, do not let the Morons get in the way. They are neighbours, they do not live with you, therefore they mean nothing to you. You will not live by them forever.
If they become threatening or abusive, take action.. but DO NOT react explosively.

A good point was raised… they are filming you without your permission and the law can help you with that.

Personally, just get out of the house a bit. Join some hobby groups, take up some outdoor sports… Morons do not attend these sort of things, because they are happy with thier crap lives.

If they are laughing at you, so what? You have the misfortune to live amongst Morons, who will live far inferior lives to you and will never leave the holes they inhabit.

You have chosen the path of change. See to it that you proceed.

Q: Do you think I have OCD?
I’m not currently diagnosed with anything, but I do think I have some possible symptoms for OCD.

Intrusive Thoughts:
1. Killing myself and my loved ones

2. Sexual/homosexual acts

3. Shouting out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times (for example, I might feel an urge to start yelling obscenities while at school or church)

Obsessions:

1. Extreme religious preoccupations

2. I can’t stop labeling myself and others and thinking about labels, which has made me a sort-of hypocritical anti-label

3. I’m very superstitious – I have lucky numbers and songs/objects that I constantly fear will make me sick

4. Mental disorders – this goes along with the labeling and is one of the reasons why I’m in this forum. I’m research them hours on end – I never seem to stop thinking about this possibility that I might have this or that disorder.

5. I have social phobias – I know it’s irrational, but I’m so afraid of rejection that I can’t bring myself to talk to strangers, even if it’s just asking a clerk in a store where I can find something.

6. I have such an extreme phobia of vomit that I will run from a room if someone vomits and hyperventilate. If I feel like I am going to vomit, I hyperventilate and will often take more than the recommended dose of pepto bismol or tums. I haven’t intentionally burped in years; I suppress my burps because I’m afraid they might make me more likely to vomit. I have a similar phobia of bodily wastes – I can’t walk the family dog because I’m too scared that he will poop, etc.

7. I can’t get over the idea that someone might be hearing what I’m thinking. Sometimes, I will talk to imagined telepaths and omnicients in my head.

8. I am excessively worried about the possibility that I might be a lesbian, even though I have only been attracted to guys in the past.

9. I am addicted to the internet. I hate the internet with a fiery passion; because of it, I waste all my time on the computer.

10. I have superiority/inferiority complexes that plague me. At times, I will be narcissistic. I will have trouble grasping the concept that everyone else is just as real and concrete as me. I will feel very detached from reality. At other times, I’ll feel like I truly hate myself and that I have thought too highly of myself in the past.

11. I absolutely need to somehow justify every single thing I think, say, or do that bothers me, yet even old and minor memories will still occasionally haunt me.

Compulsions
1. To a mild extent, I hoard. I have trouble giving library books back and throwing out old papers.

2. When I get intrusive thoughts, I will often self-harm by clawing, scratching, slapping, or punching myself.

3. I can’t seem to stop picking at my face. I’ll probably have tons of acne scars in the future. I have scars already since I always pick off my scabs from cuts and bug bites.

4. I don’t know if this counts, since I’m not sure if it’s directly related to my obsessions, but I am a chronic procrastinator. It seems like a miracle that I ever get anything done.

I’m pretty sure that’s it. I have this idea that all doors MUST be closed in my room at night, and I’ll feel slightly bothered if I touch a dollar bill or a door handle or something and can’t wash my hands afterwards, but I don’t know if that has anything to do with my hypothetical OCD. Is it possible that this is OCD, or am I just angsty?

NOTE: Upon hearing stuff like this, people tend to tell me to see a cognitive behavior therapist or a psychologist or whatnot, but I am too afraid of those people to tell them how I feel (unless it’s online and not a direct voice/face conversation), so it’s probably not gonna happen. Heck, I’m too afraid to even ask my parents to take me to one of them.

A: Everyone has those thoughts but answer this. What if you do have OCD? What then? OCD is just the name of a condition. Then you go try to get therapy or medication.

Research that. The majority of people who go through years of expensive therapy or take all sorts of medicine to aid the issue end up worse in the end. Figure out what you want in life, and go for it. You’re simply focusing on all the bad in your life, but think about all the things you are good at. Find what you like to do and do it. You may not want to, so do like i said…do your research on people with minor psychological disorders and if medicine or therapy helped them. It may help you, who knows, but is that what you want? To be drugged up and not feel? I have news for you, those meds may block out the bad feelings, but they also block out the good feelings too. You’ll be neutral all the time, apathetic, life will lose it’s charm.

The other option is to go to a therapist. Since therapists have the potential of making a good deal of money from their clients, often times, (although they may have wonderful intentions) actually draw out the therapy process and delay really making progress with you. Why would they do that? Because you pay them based on the time you spend with them, not based on how much they are actually helping you. Often times it is in their best interest to lead you along so they can more comfortably afford the payment on their mercedes.

I am in no way saying all mental health professionals are simply in it for the money and don’t care about helping their clients, that would be absurd and untrue. What i am saying is that you run the risk of worsening your current state by placing your hope and financial resources into a cause of which you arent even certain if the outcome will be harmful or helpful.

We are not on this planet very long. Remember what you’re good at, what you love to do, what gives you pleasure, and try to focus on that. If you don’t someday it may be too late and all the joy really will be sucked out of life..

Live it up, and sorry if some parts dont make sense i was typing fast.

you can e-mail me at rmcgowan56@yahoo.com if you want to bounce some ideas off me!

Q: Is repetitive thinking of thoughts OCD?
I have a problem where I think too much… Is that a sign of OCD?

I don’t have the typical problems of OCD such as imaging killing people and whatnot.

Before when I was younger I would try to be neat and conscientious as possible, but now that I’m older it trailed off to my thinking where all I can think of is the fear of gaining weight (When I try to eat healthy– it doesn’t work), the fear of failing in life, and the fear that my loved ones will leave me and will not be able to meet new loved ones again.

The worse for me is the fear of losing beauty and it gets extreme. (Everytime I try to find articles for beauty and when I read the wrong ones it scares me like crazy) I mean girls should look nice– but I believe that I’m overdoing it.

Another one is my boyfriend– I always think he is looking at other girls and him wanting the girls, it feels like paranoia. I know it is wrong but I can’t stop because I would assess every tiny bit of information in my mind.

Overall I think I’m pretty happy– so I don’t think it is depression.

Also do you think this is related to PTSD? I had a very bad incident where I lost a bunch of close friends at once due to their drug use.

Thank you so much.

A: It seems to be anxiety, to me. Instead of anxiety, or worry, downgrade them to “concerns”. See section 6, at ezy build, below. “Worry is like a rocking chair – it gives you something to do, but won’t get you anywhere.” – Set yourself a specific time period for worrying about anything, (say; around three quarters of an hour, possibly when you get home, or after your evening meal, but not too close to bedtime) after which, resolve firmly to refuse to even entertain the thought of worrying again on that day: realise and accept that to do otherwise would be counterproductive to your mental health, and enjoyment of life. You will have had your “worry time” for the day, and can just write down any more thoughts that come to mind, and say to yourself: “Well, I’ll just have to worry about that tomorrow, won’t I?”. Doctor Wayne Dwyer once said: “Negative emotions are preceded by negative thoughts”. It is important to regularly monitor, and deal with a negative internal monologue (self talk), or mental process, such as disturbing thoughts, images, impulses, or emotions, by the process of (a): recognising it, and (b): challenging it immediately.

Technique For Re-Programming Negative Thoughts: When you notice something negative, such as: “I’m never going to get over this!” or: “Why am I always so pathetic/useless/such a loser?” or even: “I can’t do this/will never get over this!”, even an image, emotion, or a memory; recognise that this is being generated from the negative part of your mind. Having identified and labelled it, visualise a large, red, flashing, “STOP!” sign, and/or possibly a stern faced person wagging an index finger at you in a negative manner, then say to yourself as forcefully as you can, even aloud in a big voice, if alone: “I know this tactic: GO AWAY FOR A WHILE !!!” You may want to use either: “ruse”, “ploy”, “game”, or “trick”, instead of “tactic”. In the case of an image, visualise a large “STOP” sign, or your preferred version. Some people go so far as to keep a wide rubber band in their pocket, then put it around their wrist, when they catch themselves backsliding, stretch and release it, as a method of reprogramming their mind sooner, but I don’t regard it as being strictly necessary.

Remember to remove it, afterwards, if you use this method. Try replacing a negative thought with a positive affirmation of your choice, like: “I am a unique individual, with my own set of skills, and good points”, or “I may not be perfect, but I’m doing the best I can, right now”. Practice one of the relaxation methods in sections 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, daily, and when needed. Tai Chi, or yoga suits others better. Alternatively, give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. There is also a version for use in public places, (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind). Section 53, and pages 2, 2.q and 2.o at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris also refer: “Even though I sometimes suffer from anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself.” Neurofeedback treatment for anxiety is increasingly becoming available.

Herbal remedies, such as valerian, (which is not recommended for use if depression is also present) passionflower, or St.John’s wort, are often effective, but the idea is (as with anxiolytic medication) to use them like water wings, or training wheels on a bicycle, providing initial support, and giving time for other treatments, such as therapy, and relaxation techniques, to take effect. Imagine, as vividly as you possibly can, that your concerns, anxieties, worries, fears, your self-recriminations, all the agonizing “I’m-so-Stupids,” and “I’m-too-fats”; every painful “I-can’t-I-have-it” or “I-can’t-do-it”are huge raging, hurtful bulls snorting and charging at you. You see them coming at you and you hold out your red matador’s cape at arms length and simply let them charge right by. Every time they come at you, hold out your arm with the red cape and let them rage and snort and go right on past.

Q: Hiding something on my carpet from my mom??…Please Help ?
I know this is long but please read it )))!

I’m moving in about a week, and I’ve lived in my current house for like 8 years.

Anyways, last year I was doing my school art project in my room, involving matches, and I dropped a match on my floor. Thus creating a giant burn. I knew I couldn’t fix it, so I found a piece of extra carpet from when the basement (where I live) was re-carpeted, cut out a piece of it, and then cut out the burned spot out of my floor. I used glue and all kinds of stuff to stick down the carpet square into my floor. It is VERY obvious. Worst decision I ever made haha.

I’ve had a rug covering it since that incident, and my mom has no idea whatsoever. We’re not selling our house, our house is being foreclosed so it’s not like it’ll be unsellable because it belongs to “the bank” now. But my mom is bound to see it at some point, I’m going to have to remove the rug so the movers can get the stuff out of my room, etc.

If you knew my mom you’d know that she’s crazy and OCD and will probably kill me if she finds out. Once the rug is gone, and we’re cleaning up before we move, how should I hide the spot from her?? Should I blame it on our old cleaning people? Help!! Thank you thank you Best answer 10 pts

A: Well, the problem has two aspects.

First, the patch is probably most obvious at the edges, where it joins the original carpet.

Second, the patch may be obvious because you replaced the burned area with new carpet, when the surrounding original carpet is older, probably a little discolored.

So here is what I would try.

Using nail scissors, cut a bunch of carpet threads from existing carpet. (Like, one here, one there. This could take you a while, because you don’t want to create any bare spots. Cut them from all over the room.)

Next, put a little Elmer’s Glue onto a damp rag, and apply the thinned glue to the entire patch, extending well beyond the seams.

Then sprinkle the cut threads onto the glue-moistened area. Thinly!

Lastly, walk on the repair area so as to push the new threads down into the repair area.

This should hide the repair far better than anything else you could do.

Q: Does ssri’s really balance out everything and help ocd and anxiety ,and if so why so many side effects.?
I just find it doesen’t make sense, how can so many people have chemical imbalances. Anti deppressants relax you and also kill sex drive and mess up other things .I am on 5 mg of Lexapro and feel like a frozen ice cube because thats what they do cover up life.

A: I took Lexapro for a while and I had to get off of it. It changes the way you see life and you feel like you aren’t in control and a zombie sometimes. Stop taking it, find more natural ways to deal with your issues. SSRI’s suck if you ask me

Q: Help Me Find This Movie Please.10 Points For Best Answer.?
My brother and I saw this movie and we don’t
remember when we saw it.It was a movie about
this scientific experiment about becoming invisible.
So this dude takes the risk of it.Okay,later on
in the movie it turns out they scientists cannot
find a way to turn the guy back to normal.So they make
him a fake face and so on and a fake body
until they can find a cure.Later he becomes angry
because he isn’t able to go back to being visible and
then he starts killing all the scientists.At the end he dies
in an explosion.That’s all I can remember.

We have searched but all we find are the lame versions like
the 1993 or earlier but it isn’t what we are looking for.
If you can find out anything please let me know asap.
I am ocd and this is killing me not knowing what the name
of the movie is.
Thank for your time.

A: Hollow Man it stars Kevin Bacon.

Q: Can someone with OCD be dangerous?
For example, if they thought you were a danger to them do to their condition might they harass or try to scare you to get you out of the way? Not dangerous like kill you, but try to eliminate you as a perceived threat?

A: I don’t think so. They would be more a danger to themselves.

Q: Can it kill you to swallow alittle bit of bug spray killing stuff, ?
Well my issue is that I have ocd issues with everythign and I worry about eveything well my husband had an army thing and had to be in the field and he had to spray the bug killing spray on his uniform and then he sat in his car so I was thinking it would be in his car now so when he gets in there he is still touvhing it anyways can that small amount or whatever it is in there can that kill someone ? Or can there be any harm from what is on his uniform ?

A: Nope. Unless he is allergic (which you would know by now) it will never in a million years cause him any harm whatsoever. Over 20 or 30 years of contact can cause some kinds of cancer but, then again, studies have shown that even watching too much television can cause cancer. And to anyone who is going to disagree about the tv thing, do some homework before you try to school me.

Q: help with ocd please?
Some person said to me that… Yeah..it should already be happening.I read in a recent report that if you mix chlorine and sperm that the results are toxic and acidic and can cause severe brain damage and or burns on 100% of your body.You should seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY!!!

I had a smear of sperm on my arm and i got in a pool and this is what this guy said to me,is what he said actually true because i dont think it is,clhorline would kill the sperm is what i thought.I have ocd.

A: stop smearing sperm all over yourself and find a group to discuss your disorder.
