do you guys create scenes in your head all day like me?? i can't do anything or pay attention to what i'm doing because i'm always creating false scenarios in my head or dealing with my compulsions or real event ocd...🧠!°○°○...
I used to, yes. But that doesn’t do you any good and keeps you away from getting better and staying in the present moment.
how did you improve?

like scenes of you interacting with people who don't even exist and you don't even know, or bad things happening😵💫
@scenic omg it's very difficult for me not to imagine these scenes of me interacting with people, because because of OCD i just moved away from all my friends! i only have my "boyfriend" now my best friend (we parted ways to improve and make friends without worrying) since i have ROCD and i'm always afraid of cheating on him just for finding people attractive...
@scenic thank you so much, and yes it is very difficult to deal with fear, i feel i should do something silly and end up in the hospital just to see if i wake up and disconnect from thoughts and images...
@scenic Thank you for answering me, I don't know what's wrong with me, I say I will try to improve but I can't, even though I am aware that my thoughts are nonsense, I feel like I should listen to sad songs and worry
@scenic I'm doing group therapy, because my therapist wanted to put me to face my fear of talking to people even though I'm attracted, but the group doesn't help me much...
@scenic You really helped me a lot! Don't worry, thank you very much for what you told me, I'm going through a difficult time...
does anyone else get flashbacks of things they’ve seen due to giving into their compulsion??? whenever i’m having a remotely normal time or having fun or thinking of making a big decision i have flashes of videos or pictures or just made up scenarios that are related to horrible things i’ve seen and compulsively watched and did stuff with. it immediately kills my mood and makes me ruminate about it and i think about it over and over. i find myself wondering if ocd drew me to do those things or if it was genuine attraction. what if im a horrible monster who’s into awful and illegal and morally wrong stuff??? what if im using ocd to cover it up and it’s not ocd it’s just i thing i was into??? these thoughts are never ending and show up at the worst times. i’m terrified all the time. it renders me sick & unable to make any decision because i’m afraid if i choose to do so it’ll make everybody aware of the things child me/young teenage me did. it feels like all my past traumas and experiences are being blasted on a jumbotron. i’m even scared to post this. again does anyone else know what i mean + does anyone know how to “get over” this feeling/any tips???
I’ve had many types of OCD, but I gained control over them over the years, but a new one has started to arise. Do y’all ever have scary thoughts about something you might do? Recently I’ll get extremely uncomfortable no matter where I am because I can’t stop thinking about “what if I screamed really loud in my lecture class tomorrow?” And other stupid stuff like that. Also, this one is kind of funny, but sometimes when I use the bathroom I pause before because I think “what if I’m actually in class right now?” I also cannot control the thoughts about past embarrassing moments. I know everyone does, but I will become visibly uncomfortable and harp on something from years ago. This happens all throughout the day. Also, does anyone else do things that resemble tics when you get these thoughts. Like when they happen I’ll curse under my breath or like jerk my head a little bit. When I’m in public I keep it low key but when I’m alone sometimes I’ll physically get up and pace or something when those thoughts happen. Just curious if anyone has had these experiences
Is the following happening to anyone else? - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a voice, say, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?
