@Have Some Chocolate đ« There could be other underlying issues maybe? Especially if you have a rocky childhood sand weâre neglected. You might lack structure and discipline which you can gradually learn and implement but if nothing works Iâd look into executive dysfunction and neurodivergencies linked to it.

@thrutheweather I never was that much disciplined but i never used to procrastinate and practice other bad habits this much... It's too much since ocd and literally nothing helps.... And i didn't know that procrastination was related to ocd.... Now i wonder if i have adhd or not.... I don't know why can't i change i have enough regret and realization....

@Have Some Chocolate đ« Itâs possible to have both but your body constantly being between fight and flight with High stress and anxiety has physical symptoms too. Brain fog, memory issues, fatigue etc - normally theyâd recommend you treat the OCD and then you can work out if you have ADHD. Iâm not sure where you live but it might be worth exploring ADHD more (donât get obsessive with it!) read a few articles, a few videos and see if itâs something you align with. There are a lot of crossovers with ADHD, OCD, ADD & ASD. ââ- please donât be too hard on yourself! Youâre trying whilst working through your OCD. Old habits die hard and mightâve been past compulsions youâve not even realised. Write down what works in terms of discipline and what doesnât.

@Have Some Chocolate đ« Please do not self diagnose because of others. Lots of people procrastinate or lack motivation, that doesnât mean you have adhd!

@Justmesadly Whilst this advice is good itâs also ok for people to speculate about conditions they may have. No self diagnoses but if you feel you align it is something they should look into further with a psychiatrist.

@Have Some Chocolate đ« Focus on treating the OCD for now though⊠this is what you know you have and youâll probably find that a lot of issues youâre having ease after doing some ERP.

@thrutheweather This is something this generation is obsessed with. Lacking motivation doesnât mean you have a mental illness. Breaking habits are hard for everyone. If not it wouldnât be a habit. That doesnât mean you need to research and see if you have other mental illnesses. Most illnesses have many many symptoms so unless itâs effecting your daily life I think itâs best to just keep treating the ocd and doing your best

@Justmesadly Itâs clearly affecting their daily life theyâve said that. Youâve made several unhelpful comments here. Making comments like âthis is something this generation is obsessed withâ is one of them. Many people have never had access to information about conditions.. youâre on an app where many people found out they had OCD through NOCDâs Instagram and coming on the app. What youâre saying is really dismissive of a lot of peoples experiences. Many people donât have the means for psychiatrist assessments - yes breaking habits are hard for everyone and so is motivation. Yes many illnesses have several symptoms⊠but you ARE allowed to explore if you could have other illnesses or another neurodivergence. Whatâs important is HOW you go about doing this. Exploring your issues is not self diagnosing. Youâre pushing people away from trying to get help making statements like that. OP should treat the OCD like i advised but if the symptoms theyâre having issues with still prevail they should speak to a psychiatrist about the ADHD they suspect they may have too.

@Have Some Chocolate đ« Treat your OCD first! Hereâs the video again. https://youtu.be/ntY-_dzZxC8 - I think youâll find that a lot of the issues youâre having will ease once you start effectively treating your OCD with ERP. Also try not to live in the past.. we canât change it! Onwards and upwards friend â€ïž

@Have Some Chocolate đ« Try to move past trying to work out whatâs wrong with you too! That can lead into obsessive researching etc. maybe you have something else, maybe you donât but for now you know you have OCD and would like help treating that so you can go about your day to day life better.

@thrutheweather Actually i don't know the problem is i just can't start doing things untill last minute no matter what now this has been happening since quite a while... I had enough bad consequences for this... I even have realization of my mistake and habit and regret... But can't change myself..... And i can't focus on things (productive work) that well... That made me feel like what if i have adhd.... And tbh i can't really sit on a task for much long... I just can't... And it's not even about having any distraction... There's no distraction still i just can't get to my work.... And i can procrastinate by walking through my home doing simply nothing.... Not just cause i don't want to i really want but don't know why but feel stuck and can't start or sit with the work.... Now this has been this bad that i can't even sit to study even before the night of an exam i already failed exams before cause of this i know the consequences very well.... But still i can't do the Action.... And it's so frustrating and depressing that I'm intentionally failing exams.....and almost feel helpless to do any change or anything..... I don't know i don't have other symptoms of adhd but these are just there making my life a hell... Not able to focus properly... Can't complete a task and i procrastinate a lot..... And nothing is helping me to stop these.....

@Have Some Chocolate đ« I struggled concentrating too and I havenât got to the bottom of it myself. Iâd recommend for now trying different study techniques, setting up your own reward systems that motivate you and give you a boost when youâre becoming less engaged. Again keep treating your OCD but if youâre able to speak to a therapist/psychologist/parent about these concerns. They should be able to offer advice or help you work out whatâs going on. Find a comfortable space to study too⊠you donât have to study sat at a desk. My tutor used to do her work sat in bed. Some people sit on a cushion on the floor. Find what works best for you. - note taking whilst studying, writing down keywords, summarising things in your own words can help you.

Iâve done things in the past few years that Iâm not proud of - only a couple of things I can think of and they didnât directly hurt anyone at least with is relieving (but maybe indirectly they sort of did or couldâve which makes me hate myself because why did I do that⊠*how* could I do thatâŠ) If I could back and stop those things from happening, I would. I may not have thought about what I was doing at the time, so I didnât really recognize that they werenât okay, but that doesnât excuse them, and I would smack some sense into my past self if I were able. I feel like if anyone knew what Iâve done, they wouldnât want anything to do with me. Theyâd write me off as worthless. And maybe they should to be honest. Now yet another thing has come up - I havenât done anything, but I had an intrusive thought pop up that made me *think* about doing something and this would be unforgivable in my opinion. Though, to be honest, the things Iâve done before are also somewhat unforgivable in my opinion⊠đ Regardless, I donât want to do it because I donât think itâs okay, but I worry deep down that I do. Or that Iâm looking for an excuse to make it okay to do. I donât know, itâs complicated. And Iâm upset I even thought about it. I wish I had never seen the thing that triggered that intrusive thought. Yet another thing I would stop if I could. Iâve tried to not think about it or focus on it, but it doesnât work. Even if it goes away, it just comes back again. I just keep thinking about it and itâs overwhelming. Anyway all of the guilt of this is killing me. I feel like an irredeemably terrible person and it makes me want to give up. I canât get on with life because itâs paralyzing. I donât know whatâs wrong with me, and at this point, it feels like I donât deserve to just move on. I canât live with myself and I feel like I donât deserve anything anymore. I know a lot of this is probably OCD, but Iâm not sure all of it is and I donât know what to do⊠if I spoke to a therapist about it, I donât think I could bring myself to say what Iâve done or what thoughts Iâve had. But if I was told to move on by someone who didnât know the truth, I would worry they wouldnât really say that if they knew. Agh, itâs all just a mess đ

I'm getting intrusive thoughts of self harm. It seems like I've achieved everything in my life and it makes little difference. None of it was worth anything.

I genuinely feel like the worlds most horrible person deeply for my past actions in childhood and general mistakes Iâve made. I feel like I shouldnât be here or thereâs no hope for me despite doing right ( trying to do right ) Iâve wanted to open up to my mom about things from my past but when I was talking to her about a situation that happened just to share, she was like âThank God youâve never done anything like thatâ But really my past mistakes are worst. Itâs like I feel like I should disappear. I donât know how to deal with the guilt and I feel horrible. Iâve made good and bad decisions but despite this being a long time ago ( which doesnât erase my stupid actions ) I still keep bringing back into the present and Iâm filled with guilt I genuinely think it would be better if I wasnât here. I wake up think about my past things and Iâm filled with guilt and shame that maybe I am a bad person and voices donât stop, they keep telling me a lot of things that I start to believe. It makes me upset that I did something like that in my past and I try to be understanding but I can imagine the reactions of people and being condemned so much. I literally do this to myself every single day and itâs exhausting I donât know how you guys can treat me with so much compassion and understanding. It really doesnât feel real or like I deserve it. Like even on nocd, it makes me feel worst because I come across comments that say âas long as itâs not â-â or something and I compare it to my past and I feel like a horrible unacceptable person.
