NEED HELP, Suicidal OCD

Hi

I’m a 16 year old also suffering with OCD, I have previously thought about suicide and felt like there is know way out and I know how that feels, I’m also on meds and I’ve been on sertraline for about three weeks now and my emotions are up and down, I will sometimes have bad and then good days, suicidal thoughts can happen when you start medication or even if you’re been in them for a while, I’m not a doctor but it’s just what I’ve read on the leaflet, I’m always here if you need to talk and it would be nice to talk to someone who is going through the same thing, just know that your not alone and things get better, think positively, it is possible it could just be you thinking to much into this, I do the same thing, my mind convinces me I’m things that I’m not, that’s how OCD works or adleast my OCD works. I really wish you the best and remember your not alone, please message me if you need to. It’s best to talk to someone and i will listen to you. And remember OCD isn’t anything to be embarrassed about. If you want my number or snapchat etc you only need to ask have a good day

This happens to me I know how hard it is truly I do. Mine gets so bad that I get adrenaline running through my entire body and I get so scared. It’s petrifying. My head gets hot and I get such bad feelings and intrusive thoughts. But with the right medication, and I started seeing a counselor, it gets manageable. I promise. Sometimes I have awful days, but you will have good days as well, so hang in there.

Hello Jasmine

I do hope u have been getting a few helpful replies here!

I'm thinking "maybe" your harmful thoughts could possibly be triggered by the withdrawal side affects of tapering off your medication as that can be experienced by some people!

If u are feeling it's too much or at risk u have to make contact with you Doctor or Mental Health Services!

I got into daily physical exercise when my anxiety was severe which even so it was hard it definitely helped!

Yoga classes that include relaxation helped me too!

Hope things get better for you! :-)
