yeah, it’s because you do so many compulsions you lose certainty where there used to be some
I agree with ???. I started out way less severe, but the more compulsions i practiced and reassurance i got it started to muddy everything and my brain basically became a slave to the ocd. So much so that my brains basically running on the ocd track automatically but nothing is actually allieviating because i know its not who I am. Ocd can be VERY powerful. Sadly one of my reassurance behaviours is to read posts on other types of ocd to see what behaviours mirror mine, showing that just because my theme isnt necessarily "taboo" doesnt mean its not ocd.
I don’t even know if I am aroused by the thought of being with a woman. I feel numb to every feeling. It’s like I am just this living anxiety “being” that doesn’t know what it feels
Mine has gotten to the pint where I don’t know ANYTHING. I don’t know if I would like to get into a relationship with a woman, if I find a woman attractive. Now all I can think when I see a woman is “what would it be like if a where in a relationship with one”. I don’t know what I feel anymore. I don’t know anything. It truly makes it worse. I used to think being with a woman was disgusting, I don’t know what I feel like towards it anymore
Can OCD make you go crazy or can it just mock symptoms of losing your mind? Weird question I know. I have just been struggling really bad lately and wondering if it’s something more then OCD.
can OCD develop later on in life?? i’m 17 and have always had rlly bad anxiety and i guess i’ve always known i had a little bit of OCD (since anxiety and ocd are closely related) but the OCD part of it has never been this bad. i would always worry, get reassurance from wherever i could, and that would kinda be the end of it. it’s never ever been like this before or hit me like this before. it’s almost like my anxiety has somehow turned into OCD throughout the years. is that possible?? can OCD develop or at least become way more noticeable later in life?
I had never really had OCD symptoms like this a few months ago. I had struggled a little bit with anxiety and had always had a fear of uncertainty but I’ve never felt a 24/7 pain anxiety, guilt and fear like this. I was pretty happy😭 Have others had this experience as well? Did it just show up randomly from one intrusive thought that you couldn’t brush off? Is it possible to get back to how you were before or will I have to “manage” for the rest of my life?
