I do feel like that, but lately I’ve been trying to be strong. I’m not as anxious as I used to be about the thoughts. I’m almost not anxious at all only when certain thoughts pop up. I used to cry almost everyday but now I’m actually ok. What I try to do is let the thoughts be there, it’s not going to do anything to you. Yeah it’s scary and weird because you know that’s not what you want to be but if you were that way you would know. That’s what I try to tell myself! I hope everything gets better for you and everyone else on here! It’s confusing going through stuff like this because it’s always doubting everything.

This is so mentally draining, I just tell people I have depression (which is true) but Nobody knows about my ocd and hocd.

Me too. I try getting back on my swimming habits after lot going for a few weeks. My thoughts are at it’s worse then. I have to just swim for an hour because I can’t do it more. I cry every single day now. I even hit myself now. In school I can’t even function because of my anxiety. I feel like shit

that must be really tough i have an aunt who has ocd and she helps me a lot do you have anyone youre close to to tell? because for me its really nice to have a public place for support but to be able to talk to someone close to me and have them understand me like even with the worst fears my aunt always told me just so you know no matter what you say do or think i will always love you and that kind of support was what i needed

I have my brother, I have hocd as well and he’s bisexual. Sometimes I just ask him to help and he helps a lot because he knows that I’m ok. If I was that way he would tell me.

The phrase I’m gay just keeps popping up
Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair

Feeling low
Hey today I’m feeling very tired because of my OCD I’m just so tired of it. I feel I’m doing everything to get better. I disregard the thoughts, I’m trying to do things like I don’t have ocd but it doesn’t want to go away. I was doing fine for a long period of time and now I feel like I’m back a square one. It’s been almost 2 months now I’m battling with OCD and I’m just tired. Sure I have moments where it’s better than others, I also have days where I barely have OCD but I also have really bad days like today where I just don’t want to get out of bed. Last time I had a relapse it took my 4 weeks to get out of it I don’t understand why this time it takes me more. I’m starting believing that I will never feel better again. Anyway I’m gonna try to find the strength to get out of bed and to start my day. But I just wanted to share. It’s such a horrible illness.

I just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
