I can relate to this so much. During the time my OCD was so severe, I remember my psychologist asking me when the last day was that I didn’t worry about anything and I couldn’t even recall one. OCD would take up all of my day and time. the compulsions, that awful monster enslaved me. you can get through this though and I know your mind is so exhausted and there are times you just can’t keep going but I promise you there is a bright light at the other end. you just gotta keep fighting and we’re supporting you every minute of every day. don’t give your life up to this monster. you deserve the best life possible filled with endless love and happiness. you’re so strong, proud of you ?
It has made me feel like I have done irreversible changes to myself or that Ill never be normal again. Hang in there, it can improve for sure
Keep strong ?
I’m on the same boat. I don’t know if that helps, but you’re not alone ? my ocd has always been severe for the most part. I’ve never really done the right things to treat it, up until now. It requires a lot of effort but I hope I can see results in the near future. You have to be honest with yourself and think about what unhealthy habits, physical or mental, are fueling your anxieties and obsessions. ?
Thank you guys! Means so much to me!!
so im suffering from suicidal OCD. its so exhausting just to let them sit in my mind wondering around. it made me depressed. i use to to so afraid, confused, panic and so much anxiety spike. today im feeling numb to all those feelings. its getting into my core believe..there is still resistance thats why im so tired. not 1sec i could distract my self. everywhere i go i feel like its the last place that i will ever visit.
Hi! I have OCD in a few different subtypes. Even when my brain isn't stuck on those scary obsessions and compulsions, it seems like it is getting stuck on every thought that comes in. Like my brain is constantly and very intensely trying to find problems to solve all throughout the day no matter what I'm thinking about, even if they aren't specific OCD thoughts. It's super exhausting! Is this a common thing with OCD? Does anyone else experience this?
Im thinking about it (the obsession) 24/7. If my mind wanders off for like 4 seconds, it goes right back to the thought and Id be like: yes, at least I didnt think about it for 4 seconds, 4 seconds release. Im constantly checking if I still think about it (even though I try not to it goes automatically) and that there is the thought/obsession again, I think about it. Its there 24/7, during everything I do, during every conversation, etc. I cannot live on autopilot, wander off or think about something else for more than 5 seconds. This goes on for months. Its driving me totally crazy! Is this normal for OCD? Does everyone with OCD have this. Is thinking and checking if still thinking about it 24/7 common in OCD?
