There is hope! You’re brain unfortunately likes to remind you over and over what you’re afraid of. You as well as I, have a fear of losing our minds. Our brain try’s to protects us in a weird way so it shows us thoughts and feelings we don’t like. It’s so frustrating and tiring. I’m going through a bad spike myself at the moment it’s hard to realize that it’s OCD. My mind tricks me into thinking it’s worse. Just know this too will pass. You will fill like yourself you just have to get the anxiety to calm down. Easier said then done I for sure know. Sending you positive thoughts?. We can get through it together.

I can so relate to this. it’s so tough to be able to tell what thoughts are actually real and what are not like when I was struggling really really bad a while back, I just felt like I needed to be locked up to be right about something. It’s so scary but you’re so strong and we all got each other. we’re not alone and we just gotta keep fighting for the life we deserve and not the one OCD wants us to live

I'm on an atypical antipsychotic and I still have all of the same thoughts, I'm just not manic. There is no hope.

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget

I keep seeing coupled numbers or angel numbers and having dejvu and in my mind when I get constant Deja Vu which in my mind means something bad is about ti happen I have had it 6 times today 3 in the last hour and I honestly feel like I'm going insane whether its Deja Vu of the numbers it causes me to question every action I make. If I see the numbers or get Deja Vu it dictates my day and I can't live this way anymore. Everyone I try and talk to doesn't understand and there is no way I can ever tell anyone about my violent intrusive thoughts the one time I did my mother called the police. Sorry for the run-on sentences and if it doesn't flow right I'm just really struggling right now and have been for a long time and I just want help I'm scared of my own mind. Thank you for whoever answers this post just one person would sadly make my day.
