This is so true! I also find that having OCD makes me see what I value in my life and all that I have to be grateful for. Thanks for sharing!

You're right! I think that people with OCD it's like an egg. It could look amazing in the outside part, but only the egg know if everything it's okay inside, people can't notice if it's in a bad state until the egg it's broken.

I dunno it makes me more judgemental tbh lol ๐ but I have contamination ocd so... I see people not being hygienic enough and I judge...oh boy do I judge...to the point that just having to share a planet with them gives me anxiety lol

Ugh!! Contamination OCD is annoying af, I also have contamination OCD so I can understand sometimes it feels like only you understand all the rules of hygiene but at the same time it's our anxiety that makes us do things in extraordinarily way And my own compulsions are exhausting so I try my best not to focus on the activities of others as I don't want to bear any extra pain

I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. Youโre loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค

I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. Itโs pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I donโt care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, itโs a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when Iโm not consumed by OCD. Iโm present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. Iโm evolving. ๐ Thanks NOCD community.

Someone I care about has OCD, he often gets worried to answer certain things in fear that he might be wrong or gets anxious in times when certain conversations such as dealing with negative emotions come into play and in the event something goes wrong even though we deal with the issue it takes him a long time to put himself back together. Often times worried about his image, hyper focused on being a good person etc etc. I believe Iโm doing my best but as someone who doesnโt struggle with OCD I cant fully comprehend him and i wish to learn more about it, not just read it off of google. Any advice would be appreciate it. -Thank you!
