So
I've
been
having
ocd
baaadd
for
the
last
week
or
so
and
its
been
HARD.
Has
anyone
had
ocd
to
the
point
where
they
feel
there
are
going
nuts
or
psychotic
or
are
scared
or
going
psychotic?
If
so
please

:(
Has
anyone
ever
thought
of
suicide
while
having
ocd?
What
type
of
ocd
do
you
have?
Please
be
specific.
Thanks!
You
are
sooooo
normal
for
someone
suffering
from
OCD.
You
are
in
a
bad
spot
right
now,
and
you
will
be
on
the
other
side
of
this
some
day
in
the
future
and
be
able
to
see
how
far
you
have
come.
I
was
convinced
I
belonged
in
a
mental
hosptital....things
were
that
bad.
My
OCD
was
all
base
on
fears
that
something
horrible
would
happedn
to
people
I
loved
and
that
it
would
be
my
fault.
Yes,
suicide
was
a
frequent
thought...I
had
a
plan
and
everything...but
I
knew
my
OCD
had
hurt
people
enough
and
I
didn't
want
to
add
to
their
pain...
If
you
are
thinking
suicidal
thoughts
I
would
call
your
doctor
or
a
hotline
today.
I
have
a
13
year
old
too.

Be willing to live with uncertainty. It is an act of faith.
Hi
Greta,
I'm
very
sorry
that
your
having
a
hard
time
with
OCD.
I've
had
OCD
for
a
very
long
time
and
felt
at
times
very
hopeless.
What's
hard
is
that
people
around
you
don't
have
any
clue
what
this
does
to
your
head
that
you
seem
to
lose
control
at
times.
Have
I
thought
of
suicide?
Yes,
but
would
never
do
it.
I
feel
it's
selfish!
You
have
people
that
love
you
and
need
you.
-
And
you
have
lots
to
live
for
and
experience,
but
I
truly
understand
your
thoughts
on
it.
I
mostly
suffer
from
intrusive
thoughts
with
some
compulsions,
but
very
small.
I
have
had
ocd
since
I
was
little,but
it
came
out
more
around
13
years
of
age
and
got
worse
when
I
had
my
son
about
13
years
ago.
Your
feelings
of
going
psychotic
and
the
fear
of
losing
control
is
normal
with
ocd.
That's
why
were
on
here
to
get
support.
If
you
ever
need
to
talk-email!
Take
Care,
Faith
I've
considered
suicide
before.
For
years
I
had
severe
depression
because
of
my
OCD.
I
thought
nothing
would
ever
be
ok.
I
have
contamination,
checking,
and
relationship
OCD.

We deal with crushing anxiety on a daily basis. How can that not make us stronger?
