Yup I have, and ocd causes a lot of uncertainty, even about having Ocd, Ocd is know to erode your Sence of identity by giving you a fake one or none at all, if that makes sense, you just have to push through the bullshit ocd give you, and that fear of BPD, there’s a good chance ocd caused that too, Ik it’s hard but you can get through this, keep ya chin up, I’ll be praying for you, and I can relate to you aswell
@Shut up brain it was the first time someone said that they would pray for me, i appreciate it
@reb Ofc, I can relate, and god has the power to do anything, i run to him for help and I alwasy ask him to help others aswell, good luck, I know you can get through this
i’m going through this same thing
I have dealt with this a lot. I got diagnosed earlier this year and have suffered these symptoms as well. I see in this thread that you believe in God and appreciate prayers and I just want to let you know if it weren’t for God I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am now. Please know He knows OCD better than anyone and He has so much grace for you and you’re never condemned. I’ll be praying for you as well! Psalm 23 has helped a lot to connect back to reality. You are loved!
thank you so much! it means a lot
i’m a new user on this app, I downloaded it just cause I was curious, I don’t really know if I have OCD. Because in school all I learned about OCD is things being out of place and having it to be perfect almost like perfectionism, but I’ve just recently realized there’s a whole kind of different types of OCD, some things I struggle with daily is a fear of bad things happening or almost like an impending doom of when is it gonna happen? I’m always in my head thinking feels like I’m having multiple conversations at once. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I’m having a conversation with myself. I have horrendous anxiety about everything and anything talking to people being around people. It just feels like it consumes my everyday life and I don’t know what to do. I can’t clearly remember anything from my childhood and some things I feel like I may be imagining I just don’t really feel like a person. I’m always thinking the worst in my relationship over analyzing and stressing out thinking of scenarios or thinking, my boyfriend‘s cheating on me. It almost all feels out of my control.
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? i’ve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔
I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.
