Hello everyone, I'm seeking help here, i have no one that I can talk to cause i know they will immediately think I'm crazy. Here is the situation.
Lately, like for about a month now (nothing bad happened between me and that person), I've been having a lot of bad thoughts. I mean like I keep on thinking stupid things about people when I really want to help them in reality. I feel my mind and my physical body is acting in different directions. To say the truth, I love that person more than anything in the whole world but for some reason everytime I think about that person I have to think something stupid like, oh what a crazy person. And I hate myself for it. I can't get it out of my mind. i don't know why I am like that. I'm driving myself insane trying to stop these thoughts. Sometimes I would slap myself so I can stop thinking like that. What can I do? What is wrong with me? I really love that person a lot. I don't want to think like that about that person not even for one second of my life but I'm doing it. I don't know why? Am I losing my mind?

Please help, any advise would help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, sorry its so long.

I imagine your thoughts are along the lines such as randomly thinking, "I wish so-and-so had cancer and died," "I hate God," and/or seeing yourself killing that person. If so, it sounds like the wonderful experience that is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. :rolleyes: If you have any more questions, feel free to ask- I have OCD, going through a particularly bad bout of it right now, and I understand how horrible intrusive thoughts are... God bless!

Dear GatsbyLuvr1920:
I have read about OCD and I was wondering without going to the doctor, are there any other way to help this disorder? Like natural herbs or meditation or anything like that? Please let me know. Thank you

Well, could you just elaborate on the bizarre thoughts you're having, so I can see if they are indicative of OCD? Don't feel embarrassed- I've had all of the worst, disgusting ones like sexual, blasphemous, and violent obsessions, the ones that are the hardest to tell people about. You've said you've read about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: I'm assuming that you suspect you have it? At any rate, you should go to a psychiatrist to get a thorough diagnostic evaluation, and if he/she does think you have OCD, then you can start treatment. I'm currently on 250 mg of Zoloft, and it isn't working, so I'm getting an appointment set up with the college psychiatrist; I'm also starting weekly Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy (CBT) sessions in two weeks. There're are two basic treatments for OCD: medication/natural supplements to fix the biochemical imbalances in the brain and CBT. Some common natural/holistic methods are taking amino acids like Omega-3 fatty acids, which seem to boost the amount of serotonin in the brain, 5-hydroxy (can't remember the rest)- the chemical name for serotonin, glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter that relases other neurotransmitters, and eating more tryptophan, which is found in complex carbs, and is the precursor molecule that is used to form serotonin after it crosses the blood-brain barrier. Write back soon! :angel:
