I completely know what you mean by ‘frozen’. It’s like your entire body is motionless and yet your brain is going 10000mph. I have to ride it out, i have to get to the end of the ritual (can take a long time) before my brain allows my body back into a moveable state. Its frightening, and has caused me pain on so many occassions, as i’ll freeze in the most uncomfortable postion and cant escape that hold until after the ritual is completed. I’m sorry you’ve experienced this too!🧡

Thank you! And what do you even say if someone happens to witness it? We have a long way to go in ending the stigma, so we don’t have to feel embarrassed by our disorders!

please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry (i try to avoid even being angry if i can!) bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering? Did it just move? Why is it tingly? Why did it twitch?) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back? Is this an indication i was about to do something or will in the future? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't even know anymore bc of these twitches. Im so afraid! What I do know is I don't want to ever act out (idea is distressing not appealing) but it's so scary like why did i twitch or was i about to act out? Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent real urges or impulses and i also tend to ask ai or here if the anxiety gets so bad. Like how do I know of this is actually a serious concern and I should be very worried???
