And I’m scared my SO-OCD will be triggered… anyone tips?
i recently went to a concert and have been feeling better but then got a bit triggered because the artist helped someone in the crowd come out … and i got through it! it just made me feel stronger that i can handle triggers and push through! You’ve got this!
Go anyway and try to enjoy the concert as much as you can
Hey. So I was scared about going to a party recently in case my so-ocd would kick in and be bad. Turns out on that night I felt nothing. I had a good time. So I’d say go for it :) have fun and stay safe. All the best 🤍
Know that even it shows up (which is might well) that you are so strong for facing the fear and even if thoughts or anxiety come you are helping yourself by not avoiding 💪🏼
I have to visit a place tomorrow which triggers my contamination ocdand false memory ocd really bad, can anyone help me in this panic situation. Tips needed!
I believe I posted this a bit too late yesterday night, so I’m reposting. Hello, everyone. I’ve been struggling with OCD for two years. I’ve been attending concerts before I found out that I have OCD but since I started struggling with OCD, concerts have been overwhelming for me. I will say, I still attend concerts because they make me really happy. However, I do have a lot of anxiety before concerts, which results in overthinking, intrusive thoughts and avoidance. I wanted to share something and I’m hoping to receive feedback or advice on how I can learn to move on from this situation and enjoy the concert that’s coming up. Does anyone have advice on how I can enjoy the upcoming concert without worrying about the situation I mentioned? This entire week I’ve been searching for news articles and there’s been many times that I thought about not going to the concert at all. I know I shouldn’t be doing that, but I would like to improve and do better. I’m still going to the concert because I know I’ll regret it, I just feel nervous! So, the situation is, I accidentally left a water bottle under a seat inside a concert arena 8 months ago. I never litter, I always pick up my trash. However, when the concert ended, I couldn’t find the water bottle that I was looking for and I had to leave since my Uber just arrived to take me and my friends home. So, the water bottle was left in the arena. I asked my friend if she saw the water bottle and she told me that she saw it under the seat in front of us. Currently having intrusive thoughts about someone slipping on the water bottle under the seat, resulting in something serious such as a injury. I have another concert coming up soon that’s near the concert arena that I left the water bottle at and I feel worried about attending this concert because I have another intrusive thought that the staff from both venues will find me and tell me I did something wrong for leaving the water bottle. I’m also worried that someone did slip on the water bottle and I don’t know about it. I apologize for such a long post. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this post and thank you to everyone who replies on this post, I appreciate it!
So me and my boyfriend are going on our first short trip together and as an avoidant person who tends to be very anxious about being seen in a relationship and being in a relationship in general, it could become a very triggering experience. I have had previous OCD themes but the last few years have been very latched to the topics HOCD and ROCD. I just know that spending so much time together could lead to intrusive thoughts about him and our relationship and result in micromanaging and being irritated. Anyone tips on how to enjoy this and not put too much pressure on myself ?
