I sometimes check the time when I do rituals to see the amount of time it took me even if they don’t take to long the thing I have trouble most is hygiene and dressing and shower rituals mostly dressing cause I have to do my dressing ritual everyday put on my clothes a certain way deodorant qtips face pads put hair up in bun if I don’t do it everyday I have to make up the days I missed so if I get sick and miss a couple days I have to do the ritual for that day and the days I missed like change in and out of outfits use deodorant qtips and out hair up in bun the same amount of times as missed days and I wear my bras and undershirts in order so I gotta get all correct clothing out lay them out in order of the way they go on my body it’s all bullshit and aggravating but I’ve been doing this for 15 years and it sucks same wit showering and hygiene stuff it’s all done the same way everyday I just don’t even wanna do it but I totally understand we’re your comeing from and the staying up till 4 in the morning I just started medication I feel like shit calling the doctor tomorrow they gave me 1 pill for all my issues I need an ocd doctor that better understands ocd and everything that comes wit it all I want is a fucking xanex and to relax.

That must be so frustrating especially if you need to be somewhere at a certain time 😓 I used to do The thing where you fill in for days you missed out with mental rituals… the worst.. because it just doesn’t stop even if you fill in the days, you just keep going 😓. I really need to get a diagnosis so I can start treatment, wish I had some sort of medication for when I need to go to sleep. But I hope you talk to a better doctor and get the right medication. 🙏🏻

@xxtty You need to no that doctors don’t no everything trust yourself there’s alot of ppl who try seeing doctors and get on medications that they prescribe and it doesn’t work cause the doctors themselves don’t understand ocd you need to try to find a doctor and therapist that specialize in ocd I’ve been doing this for 15 years even mental hospitals didn’t no wat to do wit me noones helped I’ve just been given and antidepressant and expected that to solve all my problems ocd isn’t just ocd it’s anxiety it’s stress it’s worry it’s uncertainty it’s extremely debilitating 1 pill isn’t gonna solve that but doctors are so use to just prescribeing that cause they don’t even no the help ppl wit ocd need so don’t waist years trusting doctors thinking you’ll eventually get better if something doesn’t work and feel rite then switch meds switch doctors this is your life there getting paid either way.

I have barely slept in three days, maybe two hours a night. I feel so overwhelmed and uncomfortable right now. I cannot, for the life of me, stop confessing. I feel absolutely unforgivable, like no matter what it is, I am irredeemable. These waves of guilt and dread keep hitting me so hard. Every time I sleep, all I do is dream-ruminate. I analyze every tiny detail of whatever I am obsessing over, even in my sleep. It almost feels easier to stay awake, not that I have been able to do anything else. I feel so drained. I am scared to sleep. I hate my brain. I feel so anxious.

i’ve had pretty bad anxiety since about 10 tonight (it’s 2 am rn). i started really worrying because my head wouldn’t stop hurting even after i took a nap and two advil. then my stomach was hurting. then i took two more advil because my head kept going. then because i was worrying so bad i went into my mom’s room and she gave me a zofran. then i lied in there, watching the notebook to try and distract myself. and that started working and i started feeling better. but then i got hit with a second wave of anxiety, making me think i was gonna get sick even though i took a zofran. and i’m still dealing with it rn and can’t stop panicking. i have an ice pack on my neck to help alleviate the anxiety along with my heating pad and a movie playing on my computer. right now i’m freaking myself into having food poisoning. it just sucks when my nights are spent like this and i can’t get out of it.

Bro I'm scared rn, so there was a compulsion I did like 2hrs ago and I didn't do it properly cuz I kept getting a thought saying "something is gonna come in Ur room and kill you or you will have this illness It triggers me to say it but I froze because I kept seeing like a shadow and cuz I was home alone and it's dark so I didn't answer it 😃 and cuz I answered it late saying obviously I don't want to illness I would rather have the other (half of me knows it's not real), and I prayed 4 times as well cuz I didn't do the compulsion properly I tried doing it again logs if times and 1 hour later I tried again but It still didn't feel right, and now the thought is hurting my body a little and I feel shivery, and I have tried doing the compulsion but it's not working. Why can't these thighs just leave me alone and stop saying about illnesses all the time. And idk how I'm gonna get thru the night cuz I can't get the thought out of my head and I won't be able to do anything properly.
