Yes like I feel like I’m never not thinking and I’m never not thinking multiple things at once And sometimes my ocd does this thing where I’ll think a good thought. It it’s immediately followed by the exact opposite thought….it’s horrific

Oh my god yeah. Then i always end up trying to figure out which thoughts are actually “me” vs. “ocd”

@totallyawkwardrandom It’s a daily struggle with that. What’s helped me most is not even trying to decipher anymore. I don’t question. If it distressed me I take it as it’s not me it’s my ocd. And try and then distract etc Ocd is a part of me but it doesn’t say and do the things I like etc and therefore is not “me”. So I accept ocd as almost like a dual personality that I have. And that’s kind of helped me not give it as much power. Like cool brain you can think what you want but I control my actions and how much attention I give to you. It’s constant work and always will be.

@hurticanekat524 I really like your idea of it being a dual personality. I think that will help me a lot. If anything at least I’ll never be bored for the rest of my life. It’s so entertaining (even in the worst way ofc) lmao

Kind of like whatever beast you feed more is the strongest sort of thing so I try not to feed the beast. And I’ll feed the hopeful side even if I don’t believe it lol

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?

i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? i’ve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔
