I one hundred percent feel you. That is what is so hard is it latches onto what and who mean the most to us. You are not alone and I hope knowing this helps. Remember to not be to hard on your self. Have understanding for your mind even when so horrid. Let the thoughts come and go and listen to your heart. Believe in love. You are not defined by your thoughts and no matter what courses through your mind, it is ok, as your heart stays true and steady. I know and believe. Blessings love and light to you and all. I hope you get to design your graduation cap together and no matter the thoughts, know what your heart would say and believe in that. That you don’t mean your thoughts. That all you mean is love. ❤️

it makes me so sad and depressed. i wish i could just be who i was before and forget all this happened. but no ocd doesn’t let me rest anymore, i’ll get rid of one theme then boom here comes another terrible theme. im also starting to question if this is even ocd or it’s just me😞 i don’t even look forward to my graduation bc of this. i love my sister. she’s like a second mom to me so to see ocd try and make me hurt her is breaking my heart. i’ve gotten to the point where i have no anxiety or panic attacks to my thoughts anymore i think my body’s tired of fighting so constantly but im worried that since i dont have anxiety towards them that it makes it more likely to happen😞

Mmmm my heart goes out to you. Truly, I feel you. I am right there with you. You are not alone. Don’t forget to love yourself, to nurture and care for yourself, to trust yourself. Trust your heart. Your thoughts don’t define you. And I feel you, it may seem like because you’re not resisting them, that they then have the space to turn into your worst nightmare. But by allowing them to come, you can allow them to go and through giving the space for them to coexist and not resist them, accepting what they are, then you can begin to move beyond them and let them go, as they come, instead of trying to fight them. This is not to say they are who you are and are true. But are just your mind spining. Believe in yourself believe that no matter what you think or your thoughts are you are a good person with good intentions and a big heart, that is all that matters and that is you. I am sure your sister loves you dearly and only wants the best for you. I believe she understands even if she may not seem like it as it is hard to explain, but she knows who you are, who your heart is, so don’t worry that your thoughts are who you are, they aren’t, although they do coexist, we must learn to coexist, and we can, although they do coexist, your heart is who you are. And I want you to know that you are worthy, there is forever and always hope and light. And you are surrounded in love forever and always. Sending you a big hug, well~being, healing, strength, light, love and some wonderful time with your sister! And I hope you can enjoy Gratuation. Blessings and love. ❤️

I cant get over this thought that is messing my recovery up so much. it was “if you dont act on your thoughts this will never go away” which led to thoughts like if i even wanted to get better, if i even want my life back, if i even WANTED this to go away, etc. im scared. im confused. is this normal? am i gonna have to act on this stuff now? im mainly concerned about my family. i dont wanna hurt them. this disease is horrible. this subtype is horrible. i love my family. why would i want to hurt them? im so afraid this is it for me. i try to do what everyone tells me. ignore the thought, let it sit, sit with the uncertainty/discomfort but the anxiety doesn’t go away. this thought keeps coming back with a vengeance. i thought i was making great progress but im back where i was. i ruminate about this 24/7 and i dont know how to stop. we tried sitting on the couch together last night and it felt like i was RESISTING hurting them. im in constant awareness that i can act on these anytime and it hinders my daily life and work so much. everytime i talk to anyone in my family i feel things like i shouldnt be talking to them if im gonna hurt them and i dont deserve to be around them. i feel like i dont deserve to be alive, i dont deserve to be happy, and i dont deserve to be comfortable. i feel like a psycho whos never gonna get to live life with a husband and family. i feel like i don’t deserve my sweet boyfriend. i dont want my thoughts to latch onto him. this is my mind when i wake up, when i try to go about my day, and when i go to sleep. it feels like it just wont dissipate regardless of what i do. the cycle never ends. its been 4 MONTHS. what the fuck do i do anymore

This is going to sound crazy but I guess I am. For over a year now I’ve suffered from ocd. And I always thought ocd was just I turned the door the wrong way but it’s so much more. I feel as if I’ll never get better. I’m in a relationship, for 8 months now with the most encouraging and supportive boyfriend ever. I tell him all of my thoughts and he understands and accepts because he understands it’s not thoughts I mean to have. I feel so awful being the way I am and being with him. I feel like I can’t be happy because it’s always something going on with me. He has a bigger family all boys, and everyone I hangout with my boyfriend and his brothers I get uncomfortable and weird and convince myself I have feelings for them or I want them. It makes me so disgusted and physically ill every time. The thoughts never go away and it’s not even about them it’s tons of things. I cry constantly because I can’t get the thoughts to go away. I can’t hang out with anybody out of fear I’ll have a thought I don’t want. I feel like I’m so alone. A year ago I felt the same way about my dad which I know is absolutely disgusting and I would never have feelings for my own family and dad, bit thoughts pop into my head. I don’t know if it’s because my brain wants a reason and answer as to why I think those things so I tell myself I like them, but I can’t shake it. I’m trying medicines and hopefully getting into therapy soon. I just don’t know if it ever is going to get better. Some days are better than others and every time I have a bad thought I get heat flashes and and my stomach hurts and I get anxiety and I just want it all to go away. I hate it so much and I feel as if I’ll never be normal again and never be able to live my life freely. I have to constantly worry about what my brain might come up with. These are not thoughts I want to have but somehow my brain has them and I feel so disgusted and I need help so badly. I never know what to do and i feel like an awful human being. I convince myself these things are try when I know they aren’t deep down. I’m losing my charachter and I’m losing myself and the person I know I am which would never have thoughts like these. I want it all to go away. Please tell me it gets better. I don’t recognize myself anymore.
