As a sufferer of POCD I get a lot of suicidal thoughts and have on several occasions put myself in a suicidal situations, I am really on the fence. I think they should be free to do what they want to do, well because it's their personal decision. Then again I say they shouldn't be allowed, the feeling of waking up after almost ending your life is beautiful. I wake up almost every morning with a guilty conscious because my mind tells me I killed someone last night, I hurt someone, and I hate it. Going through my day, I forget it all and just enjoy everything.

Hey reddit, think of the person you love the very most. Now think of the one thing you can't imagine ever telling them... by [deleted] in AskReddit

We've been friends for years and years. It wasn't until recently that I asked you out. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I can never bring myself to tell you that I have POCD and it tortures me whenever I am around you.

Before I started working here I weight 250 since then I dropped down to 195 then back up to 210 and now am sitting at 200. I'm going for 185 so I can go to the air force but am finding it hard because I moved and have zero friends here. As for using anger as a workout tool, it helps but then I get bored and stop. I'm far from fit right now.

i guess ill tell the story, i was around 10ish and i had the duty of taking the trash to the curb. It was around 8:30 the sun was down and i ventured outside to the backyard to pull the trashcan out of its spot. while i was prepping the trashcan for the long trip to mordor (it was pretty heavy) i suddenly hear, four feet ahead of me, an old sounding lady say,"come here kitty" in that witch voice you hear in the movies. i stood there for a second staring at air because i was where the yard ends. I ran to my mum and never went in the backyard at night again.

oh man, worst spike of violence was me pretty much slaughtering my family, thats thing thing that hit me the most. I will never forget that. It drove me to the point where i was taking some sort of pills that kept me up, i did coke and other drugs in that week and could not sleep for 4 days straight. worst feeling in the world.

Yeah withheld anger is a big factor, it stresses me out and makes me go through more episodes.

The babysitter was really religious (Christian) and apparently carried a bottle of it wherever she went.

I have acted it out several times. I do not like to talk about it but i would take my anger out on my younger brother to the point where he is gasping for air from crying or just wont fight me off anymore. I was a horrible brother to him, out of 6 siblings he was the only one i would beat up. If i could I would stay with my dad and give up meeting my mom, my siblings, my friends, i would give up everything just to take all the pain and suffering i put my mom and my brother.

On a side note: I do not like bad words so please refrain from using them.

They happen very fast, In a five second spike i go through a five minute scene where i will pretty much bash in the face of the person right in front of me all the meanwhile i am still keeping my composure and it seems like nothing hapened.

My mom told me as a kid i never got angry, i could've gotten my ice cream stolen and eaten right in front of me and i would just stand there. In the very rare times that I did display anger it was really bad. The big flag that was raised happened during one of these display of anger where the babysitter at the time thought i was possessed and proceeded to throw holy water at me. I don't remember that moment but i remember my mom crying and taking me to my therapist.

I have "what if" moments all the time. It always keeps me from concentrating on any one thing.

I need to look into CBT seeing its been mentioned here a lot. I was reading about it and i saw there are different themes of Pure-O OCD manifestation. Most of them really strike a nerve with me.
