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.

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.

My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.

Losing my shit, freaking out
Idk if this post is even worth it but it seemed like a normal day for me, called off work due to the weather so I get to just stay home and play games all day. Easy day besides dealing with the constant and unbearable battle with my intrusive thoughts/feelings. Took a shower and I just had constant thoughts, (heart palpitations are pretty constant) ended up breaking down and bawling my eyes out. I was diagnosed with HOCD and ROCD about 2 months ago and since it's just gotten worse. It feels as real as it can get and after talking to my girlfriend about the anxiety attack, it feels even more real. I have no desire or enjoyment from what comes from my brain, and at this point I'm on my knees begging the big man upstairs for my old life back, how do I go from being obsessed with women (sexually and emotionally) to pretty much doing a 180 overnight (with the obvious anxiety and worry behind it. No real desire obviously). I'm just at a loss, I've done a little ERP and it seemed to help with the brain fog but besides that, everything that it does to someone, I have. And again there's the doubt I even have OCD and I'm in straight denial. It just sucks.

Hocd
I haven’t been diagnosed with it, but I feel like nothing else describes me better. If you do have this feeling and thoughts, what are some ways to lower your anxiety ?
