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!!
I’m curious how many other people experience this! I’ve been diagnosed with severe OCD for 20 years now, about 10 years ago my little OCD brain came up with a series of words. It is saying everyone in my families name and then something negative, and then something positive. Since my brain attached to this series of words, it hasn’t stopped repeating in my mind. Like I said, it’s been 10 years, and this “phrase” is constantly repeating over and over in my head. When it’s finished, it just restarts again. My brain is constantly exhausted since it’s always talking. It’s kinda hard to word this so idk if it’ll make sense to you but let me know if this is something that you might experience as well!
I have pure ocd i think , i always gotta make sure i do certain things like tap things , light switches on n off , shut things few times and re open them till it feels right . Walk in a room go back out and back in out in in till my mind is right Its exhausting
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.
