We are not our thoughts.
We are not our disease.
There was a popular book called Brain Lock, I think that's the book that contained a phrase you can use when incurring such thoughts: "That's not me, it's my OCD."
A lot of people experience totally irrational thoughts.
Elizabeth Gilbert, extremely successful bestseller of Eat, Pray, Love, confessed that when she was writing the book, a thought of "You suck" kept coming into her head, like her brain telling her to stop writing. She kept writing and the book is one of the best sellers of this century.
So, usually the disease will choose those with the greatest ability. The fact that your mind is telling you how much you should die is testament to how much you should LIVE, how much you actually have to offer the world and you are totally unaware of it.
Christian lore says that the Devil targets those who are capable of bringing the greatest good to the world. So if you are Christian, or even if you are not, you can interpret this as: You actually have a very, very strong reason to live and a very high purpose. And it (obsession, disease, the devil as some would like to believe) knows this and doesn't want you to recover and succeed.
OCD is kind of like a virus that depends on its host. If you combat the thoughs, the OCD will have nothing to feed off of...and die. Your disease is fighting to live and drag you down with it!
I would recommend reading Brain Lock.
