>I sometimes wonder if my thoughts of suicide are some sort of OCD, thinking that to block out some other thought thats even worse?
If the thoughts are intrusive and recurrent, they qualify as OCD thoughts.
The sentiment that your suicidal thoughts are masking more hideous thoughts is a classic example of an OCD thought. The thought is intrusive and the fact you wonder about it makes it a recurrent thought.
How often do you think of suicide?
Suicidal thinking has been the only bit of OCD I haven't been able to shake.
