When they came, what were you doing? Any idea what the trigger was (if there was one)? And when they came, what did you do? Either mentally or externally, did you do something to “face it” or cope with it?
Just working from home, I hadn’t done my exposure yet, it’s a scary one and I’m afraid of thoughts continuing to come to me after doing my exposure
Just had the same thing over the past 2 days, been having a great few weeks and then hit me all of a sudden. Know that you are not alone and we are all here to help and share experiences.
The devil is sure busy this season
I was doing SO great for the past 2 weeks (holidays) and then yesterday got some stressful news about gyms shutting down (the gym is my outlet) and my OCD came back full force with a newish theme 😭 it sucks
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me
Hey yall, having a tough time. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later it’s like okay it’s a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment
