I moved to China for a year, the second I stepped out of the plane my OCD had been so much better. I suffer, amongst other themes, from P and ZOCD and in China I tought kids English and had pets again, something I could not dream of back at home. That was 2008. At age 13 I went on holiday without my parents for the first time, OCD had been gone for the time I had been at the language camp. So changes made it better for a while. Unfortunately it caught up with me again in China, but I over did it. Uni, teaching jobs and a sick stray I picked up, who needed to see the vet regularly. I had just stressed myself out.

Maybe it’s because of the change your mind is occupied on something else? It’s really interesting how that happens

@lashes I had been far away from my family. I think my mother and how she raised us had a big effect on my mental health.

It's a trap! Don't worry everything is fine don't give in to the feeling of I'm faking it you're not it's just not around the corner and your brain is questioning that too! You are doubting your own self for not being anxious so don't go with the flow I mean take it easy but don't let it take away your happiness be happy enjoy the moments coz ocd just wants us to give up on everything that makes us happy don't fall into the hellhole it's all gr8 life's gr8! God bless

I think ocd is connected to our life status, or at least most of us. For me it has gotten worse now when I have a job that I hate, I don’t have a lot of friends and left a relationship a few months ago. Now when summer is around the corner and I’ve started to do things that make me happy I feel like ocd is easier to handle!

I had two breaks from OCD since late 2005, when it hadn't even been present in the background. One lasted 30 minutes in my 20s and one 5 minutes in my 30s, both mini vacations had been pure bliss and both happened, when I had been around friends... As I don't have any close friends anymore, I need to find another way to get some mini vacations...

My own worst enemy
Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️

I’m worried I don’t actually have OCD
I’ve been diagnosed with ocd but sometimes I think I’m faking or I don’t actually, but idk if that’s the ocd tricking me or if it’s true

Why Does It Seem So Real?
Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.
