Hello I’m brand new so bear with me. I’ve always been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but in April I had a complete mental break and now I finally got a title for it OCD. I have very unwelcome thoughts immoral thoughts about people I care about and now about everyone I come in contact with I am so terrified I’ve been reading lots of books and I pretty much barricade myself my apartment. Is your help out there is there anyone there?

Can you consult with the provider who did your evaluation and gave you the diagnosis? Have you checked in with your primary care provider?

Sounds like Harm OCD.

You'll find plenty of support here from people experiencing the same unwelcome and immoral thoughts.

Help is out there. You've already taken the first step.

Welcome.

We all have these thoughts. People who don’t have ocd it just goes in and goes out of their mind. For us with ocd it sticks and stays and the ocd cycle begins.

Get out of your apartment. Go out and let the anxiety hit you. Keep doing this and your brain will eventually learn that these thoughts are meaningless, and the fears aren't based in any sort of truth. There is no quick fix for this.... but it will get better with time if you make the choice to face, and even walk towards, the fear.
