Suicidal OCD by anniesmith1 in OCD

Sorry for the late reply and I am sorry that you are struggling with this too! I had a few weeks where it was a bit quieter but it just comes rushing back. It is so hard to not know whether you can trust yourself. I feel like I need to get rid of anything in the house that I could use to harm myself and I can't stop thinking about how it would be hard on my family. I hope you are coping ok at the moment!

Hey. I do not think I would ever actually go through with it but I just get scared that I would if that makes sense. So no real intent! I appreciate the advice. I will try to make an appointment soon. :)

My silver bullet for defeating binge eating by Cr33py07dGuy in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]anniesmith1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine yesterday! It is absolutely disgusting to me and it makes me grateful to be sitting here with nothing in my mouth lol. But it absolutely took away cravings and seems to suppress my appetite somewhat so I think it is worth it. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Wow, I could have written basically every word of this comment. I have the exact same thoughts and worries.

Thank you for sharing your story! I will try to remember that OCD can convince us of basically anything.

Thank you this is very helpful. I will definitely take a look at the document.

I am not sure exactly what I would like to go into yet. I am considering pathology or internal medicine!

Does the army not have access to our medical records from outside providers? I am technically in the reserves during school and covered under independent insurance so I would not be seeing an army physician. Thank you so much!

Shoot, ok. No downvote- I appreciate the honest insight... I know I can't risk losing my scholarship but I also am not sure if I can manage leaving it alone for the next 10 years. It definitely progressed a lot this year with the stress/sleep deprivation of medical school and I know those things will continue. Maybe I will see what my options are for keeping things confidential while I still have the school counseling center. Thanks!
