I can relate, mine happened after i had my baby, it came at me hard! It had left me . But came back again after i had my second baby. And now i currently still struggle with it. Its horrible. Im 26 and miss who i was. I feel like my daughters dont get the real happy me. Thank God for my husband who has been nothing but supportive and has stuck with me through each panic attack, depression episodes bc of these intrusive thoughts.
I have a very similar story. I thank God for my husband everyday. 🤍 We got this, mama.
Similar story here, not with child birth but with birth control. Sending hugs.
You can overcome this and find Relief from ocd! Try the online Programm from Nathan Peterson its called ocdandanxietycourse online. It literally safed my life
I can relate a lot I have had ovd for a long time since I was like 7 or 8 but I'm a teen now and it's hard because I dont like watching adult movies like my friends because all yhe stuff in it triggers me hard a d it suvks because none of my friends want to watch Disney or nick which is fine I totally understand that but also I am older then them they aren't even teens yet sooooo it just makes me feel so down on myself because I'm the oldest I'm supposed to be the one who limes that stuff
I can relate a little - I didn't develop OCD until I was 13. Sometimes I see old home videos of like my eight-year-old self, and I feel so far away from them. I mean, I grew up of course, so there's that, but I also feel like I changed so much while doing so that it's hard for me to connect to who I was. I can't imagine being so consistently carefree and unfazed by the world now - it's a surreal experience.
I developed ocd when I was 21 and became much less happy over time. I am hoping to regain the ability to feel happy.
likes that stuff*
And dont be Afraid from Taking Medication, especially in the beginning of the Recovery journey it can be very helpfull to have some extra help
When I look at pictures of myself, I see a young woman who deserves a fulfilling life that is not dictated by OCD and anxiety. I feel sad that so much of my time, my energy, and my choices have been consumed by OCD. I spend so much time in my head, ruminating and worrying and trying so damn hard to figure out that one thing that my OCD urgently presses me to solve. Sometimes I don't enjoy things that I want to because I'm overwhelmed with my compulsions. I've struggled with this for years, and lately OCD has been telling me that the struggle will never end--that I'll never feel in control of my life. I know that this isn't true, but I'm so scared that it could be. My faith doesn't feel bigger than my fear right now. How do I change that? I don't want to live like this anymore. As I'm writing this, my OCD is telling me that I'm incapable of recovery, but I know I can recover. I deserve to recover. I'm in therapy with an OCD specialist outside of this app and I'm going to increase the frequency of my sessions from once a month to once a week because I deserve an amazing, fulfilling life. And to whoever is reading this, you do, too.
Anyone else get deeply sad and jealous seeing other people thrive life ? Meanwhile we’re here stuck struggling with our ocd and just mental health in general . I’m envious of what some people are able to do that I can’t :( and I don’t mean it in a hateful envious way , but just a more sad kinda way that I wish I could do stuff they can simply like driving . I’m almost 20 and I know most of ykk have probably seen many of my posts about this , but it truly puts me in a difficult state of mind . I didn’t have mental capacity to do things at younger age:( I missed out on a lot . Seeing these 16-17 year old kids achieve things way more efficiently than I did just makes me feel shitty about myself . Everyone having fun on weekend and I’m not . I don’t have many friends either .
I just miss myself before I got pregnant again I want to get back to that person again not this panic ocd mess it feels like I won’t bounce back again to my old self and it makes me so sad and just hate life 😭
