My therapist just said to me that I have a self sabotage mechanism: every time that I feel pleasure/happiness, a lot of intrusive thoughts/bad feelings come and ruin the moment! (That how my rocd works!) So I think that things are related yes!

Thanks yes. I always feel like when I have fun something will go horribly wrong because I let my guard down.

Well, for me this happens with eating, and in my relationship... every time that I'm having fun with my bf my head says something like "are you sure you really like him? Yeah you should probably broke up" So FRUSTRATING

This is how it goes, unfortunately. OCD wants to distract you from your joy so that you can focus on its obsessions. It's best to leave it alone, it's trying to obtain your attention as always.

I want to go do something I enjoy so badly but I feel like I don’t deserve it. I’m full of guilt, shame, and anxiety. I wish I felt okay like I did a few days ago. I feel so awful right now. I hate OCD. I HATE pocd. I hate all of it. I wish this was easier. Sometimes I have the thought that I wish I was the things my OCD makes me afraid I am out of desperation to stop the anxiety, but then that thought makes me panic bc I don’t actually mean that or want that I just want the anxiety and urgency in the compulsions to stop. I’m so tired

I’m currently struggling with guilt from checking OCD. By this I mean, I feel guilty and shameful by my OCD checking because I feel as that was immoral and wrong and I really don’t know what to do. How can I fight this?
