Sometimes we look at a bump in the road as an entire collapse, but it usually isn't. Progress isn't linear, we all struggle sporadically, with different issues, different levels, etc So while this day or hour might be rough, it doesn't mean it will always be like this. And if you can get past this day, you can then get past other rough days. Keep up a head up and with health concerns never jump to conclusions
Thankyou so much.. this means a lot but with ocd its hard not to search the symptoms not to think of the absolute worst but i will try my best.. wishing you the best too
@Brave through Yeah I can relate, maybe try putting a timer on how long you read about symptoms and also sometimes things go away after a day or 2
@ne123 Agreed its just that my stress and anxiety have started to make me feel more sick i see doctor regarding the smallest of the things and still after everything continue to search and research even after knowing that it’s nothing serious…
@Brave through Ah so it might have to be bit of acceptance training, getting comfortable with some uncertainty, a bit of "who knows" here and there
@ne123 Yeah i guess its a long journey and i will try my level best to come out of it stronger than ever
I feel the same :( you’re not alone. But the fact we were happy a few months ago mean a lot
Im there too. Its hard. Nocd will help. I also journal alot and try and force myself to avoid checking and reassurance seeking. Its hard as hell. I dont always succeed at it but you have to keep trying. Hang on there! Things will get better for all of us.
I feel horrible due to Rocd and many days seem unbearable but we must try, we must move on and believe that one day things will be better and we will overcome all the obstacles. Keep trying you are doing perfect job already! You are strong and deserve the best!
