Unfortunately I'm having a set back this week because I kept falling for thought traps and basic stresses I need to learn to not engage anything related to the thoughts now here I am on 5 hours of sleep I wish this stupid disorder would become a physical being sometimes
There are good days & there are bad days. What’s great is that you’re fully aware of what exactly is happening & why it makes these days so difficult for you. It’s a sign of you getting better. Try rewarding yourself with whatever makes you feel better.
I think I am very more in reality and logic with my OCD then alot of people I see on here which good for me but I wish everyone could just heal quickly
@Soft_Fumo_Wishes You definitely are more self aware than most people on here. How about thinking about quick healing from a different perspective. The fact that you can’t heal quickly really means that you can’t get sick quickly either. Passage of time makes it possible to intervene & make necessary changes. It’s a road to take. Maybe take notes on your way & share them with others who isn’t able to walk it on their own.
@nocd_username I often think about an alternative meaning to this year to think rather then the fact it was ruined and taken from me to think it was making me stronger for a better year
At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)
just when I think i’m having a good weekend and I can forget about my struggles my brain tells me i’m not allowed to feel happy and that there’s always SOMETHING i need to be worrying about. so frustrating :(
Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.
