I’m so sorry, it can be so hard. First of all, you’re not alone. One of the hardest parts is the feelings of isolation—like you’re the only one having these thoughts and feelings, but the reality is you’re not. If you’re not already in therapy, I recommend it. NOCD’s therapists are trained in ERP and deal with all kinds of OCD. Nothing you say will faze them and they are skilled at helping you in your recovery journey. If that’s not an option, or just in the meantime, I also recommend the support groups. There are general groups and groups for specific subtypes of OCD. Finally, if you’re struggling acutely at any point, there is an SOS feature in the NOCD app that will help you utilize the best tools we’ve got to embrace the uncertainty. OCD is tough, but you’re tougher.

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

I’m stuck in a loop, I can’t stop avoiding the thoughts by watching tik tok, I’m paralyzed on the couch, I’m searching for clues everywhere that something bad is happening I don’t know how to go on like this anymore my fears are so strong so present they feel so real. Any mention of the future sends my whole body into panic. My arms go numb, I can’t keep living like this i feel like I’m going crazy
