Does anyone relate?

So when Im reading trans peoples posts and stuff, I always focus on the worst stories and cases and believe that thats whats happening to me or going to happen, its like I am living their experience for the lack of a better term. All the other positive and less triggering posts/comments my brain just ignores and only focuses on the worst. Ive always had a strong imagination like when I was young I watched alot of Wwe and id very clearly imagine myself walking down the ramp as my fav wrestler while the music played in the back and pyros went off. Or like when Im having conversations in my mind with someone Its like im there and actually having it, its too vivid. Or when I automatically create scenarios in my head they feel so real like this is how I would do it it if the scenario were to happen in Irl. Does anyone relate?

Yes, i can relate. Things go crazy when you're anxious. When it is combined with intrusive thoughts, images or feelings, everything feels surreal. I used to think i was just me thinking like this. All of my fears felt like they were straight out of a sci-fi or horror movie. I was seeing scenes where i was the one experiencing everything and the images were vivid. I was dissappointed and sad thinking "why do i feel like this?", "why do i think these hideous thinks while noone else does? or "why can i not be normal like anyone else, do i have to be like this?", "why does it have to be me and nobody else?" but once you realize these are all OCD trying to trick you, it gets better. You learn how to control it.

Does anybody daydream about getting help and a happy life?

I guess you can say I’ve been maladaptive day dreaming. I never had a good childhood I would go to sleep and pray I never woke up around the age up 10 I found daydreaming as a way to cope with the trauma and I’ve been daydreaming since, I still do it now. I always think im gonna meet the love of my life and they would love me for me and accept my ocd and make me feel beautiful and I’ll be rich ( I didn’t grow up with money). But then I would have to come to a realization that I’m not getting better, I’m still insecure with trauma. No friends or family to know what I’m going through and it’s hard wanting a reality you can’t have.

Criminal shows/Horror movies

does anyone else get really triggered when watching stuff to do with serial killers, p3dos, r@pists etc. I literally start to compare myself and check to see if i share any qualities with them. Ita really scary cause i really like this show Criminal minds, and i absolutely adore the characters, but its hard watching something i like cause of all the g0re and stuff. Not to mention all the thoughts that are convincing me i like the horrible stuff. Someone tell me if tou relate..

I know we're all bad here, but today I'm really stuck..

does it also happen to you that during exposure to erp you can imagine that act and scene in detail, and feel some confused excitement that leaves you stressed because it is hard to believe that it is part of OCD, it seems so real! When i can imagine it in detail and feel it like i can actually get arousel about it.
