Totally feel you. So hard to be present and actually participate in life. Thing is, that is what the condition is all about - you CAN get better. It just makes us feel so helpless

I’m honestly just starting my journey. All started about a month ago, and I’m kinda trying to wrap my head around it all. For now, I’m just trying to really tell myself that the thoughts are the OCD, not me. they don’t mean anything, it’s just that I fear them and that’s what makes them come back. I’m still feeling pretty distressed most of the day, but trying to remind myself that it’s only thoughts. I booked a therapy appointement for next week to guide me into how to manage this chaos. Totally empathize with how you’re feeling. You’re not alone ❤️🩹

@ldc1 I feel for you. Mine started a few months ago. Super strange and distressing for something like this to spring on someone. I’m trying to commit to erp and I’m seeing a psychiatrist soon so I hope it helps. Best of luck to you and if you want to talk ever I’m here

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
