Very cool, good luck! I’m interested in learning more about diet as a tool against ocd too! Was there a particular website or something that you found helpful? If so, could you give me the link?

I actually saw someone on here saying gluten causes ocd, so I tried it for about a week and felt amazing, but I love food so it was really hard to stick to, I did some research and there was some intresting things, if you google ocd and gluten it will come up, I’m not 100% sure if it’s linked, but I definitely felt a lot more clearer and less intrusive thoughts, so why not give it a go again!

I’m struggling today with the same kind of thoughts. I couldn’t even look at people when I was on the train earlier because the thoughts/urges were always there. I’m completely drained from it all today and just so tired 😩

Omg I feel you, it’s just hit me out of nowhere! Really intense intrusive violent thoughts, they make me feel really scared this time which haven’t done for a while! It’s exhausting because you’re doing so well then bam is comes out of nowhere 😩 here if you need to talk!

I’m the same! I can usually just get on with it but so many bad things were going through my mind earlier from being afraid of hearing voices ( which I don’t but, it’s a fear I get ) although I do get something in my head that’s telling me to act out unwanted urges which is horrible and with the thoughts on top of that it’s draining. I know why it’s probably bad this time though. I an away from home for work and any major changes like staying in a strange place tiredness from not sleeping properly as I’m not in my own bed is a major trigger for me. Hopefully a good sleep tonight will help 🙏

Omggg my fear is the exact same!! Hearing / seeing things that aren’t there, I never have but it’s such an intense fear it makes me feel like I’m going crazy sometimes! Aswell as harm ocd, it’s crazy how the mind can cause these bizzare situations, I get urges too to like scream whilst out in public and stuff, it’s so strange, makes me feel scared doing anything on my own! I’ve got to get the train later too which I’m dreading cos of how I’m feeling, definitely , when I’m out of my normal routine that’s when I can feel the anxiety rising and intrusive thoughts become a lot more prominent.

It’s tough isn’t it and I don’t understand how the majority of the time I can deal with it but days like this just remind me of how tough this is. I’ve got that feeling of denial too. As if I feel it’s not OCD etc. I just want this to pass 😩 like you say the hearing/seeing this that aren’t there. Sometimes I think I make it worse but it’s like I am purposely waiting to see if I can actually hear something. At times I’ve had to double check if I did hear something or not and I don’t know why I do it to myself. Nightmare. I get the horrible thoughts and urges of hurting people or sometimes if I have something in my hand I have the urge to drop it 🤷🏻♀️

I know, I’m the exact same! I go through stages of like Noo I don’t have OCD but days like this where it’s hard I’m like it must be 😂 yeah I’m the same, I sometimes double look things etc, but I try not to as I know it will only make it worse and the anxiety stronger! Are you from America or the Uk?

@hello123_ Your so right. Today is probably one of the only days I’ve actually felt like crying because of it. I’m in the UK. You?

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.
