I really need to ask a question itās really stressing me outš
I really need to ask a question itās really stressing me outš
I have stuff when my wife mentions anything about the past, I see pictures of my daughter or thinking something naturally pop up out of nowhere. My brain from the start treats it like a genuine memory. I donāt get the maybe it did or didnāt happen or try to figure it out. Itās a real memory to me and it just destroys me. I am afraid to have a thought or think in anyway possible. š£
The same happens to me when I try to remember. Never crosses my mind like any other thought it is a thought.
@Anonymous I know thatās exactly the same with me
@Meg Johnson I know
Whats up friend
Yes ?
Iām struggglig with a memory I donāt know is real or not and at first it felt real like a realisation and now Iām u sure if it actually happened or if Iām just telling myself that because im scared and it only popped up when I was extremely anxious about something else that was similar :(
@LiIac No amount of reassurance will truly help, the thing is with OCD it doesnāt matter if it happened or not its the fact that your mind latched onto this thought. Sit with the feelings, acknowledge it and get on with your day even if youāre feeling like this !!!
@CurlyHairedPoodle Thankyou :) but,I also thought to myself if it felt real at first then it must be real
@LiIac No no. Trust me, that real feeling is the effect of OCD. Thats what it does. It feels SOOO real so it leaves you feeling like youāve got to solve it when the real solution is that you have to pull yourself out of it. I struggle with real event ocd myself and it feels real everytime but once I realize itās my OCD Im able to carry onš
@CurlyHairedPoodle Thankyou :) and also donāt you think itās a bit strange it like flew into my mind when I was in an extremely hysteric episode about something very similar to it?maybe it felt so real because it was similar to the thing I was anxious about
@LiIac Your feelings and experience is definitely valid. After constant rumination things like that can happen, thats just a result of feeding into the OCD. I got to a point where I genuinely believed the police were after me over some petty thing I did years agoš but it was my OCD for sure
@CurlyHairedPoodle Oh my god itās crazy what OCD can make you think š,Thankyou for talking to me I feel a bit better now :)
@LiIac Right!! Iām glad I can help. On some days its gonna be hard to move on even knowing its ocd but dont give up!!!! always resist the urge to confess, google stuff on the internet about it & ruminate!!!
@CurlyHairedPoodle Thankyou so much i wish you the best, so glad we could chat,and hope we can talk again one day,itās so hard not to ruminate and to pull yourself out of it but Iāll try :) Thankyou so much! :)
@LiIac Of course :) Iāll always be here!! Thank you for ur kind words š
The same happened to me
@Meg Johnson glad its more common š
I have been like this also. Something comes to my mind and Iām unsure whether is happened or not so I think as much as possible but I canāt figure it out. Iām getting really anxious with mine. I know I should keep thinking about it but I donāt know what else to do
@Stephaniesstruggles read my comment above ^^
Is there a therapist or a specialist on here that I can briefly chat with? Or maybe an OCD conqueror whoās very familiar with the disorder? I need an experienced person to talk to me so bad. I just really wanna talk to somebody about what Iām going through so that I feel less alone, and so I can maybe get help managing my symptoms. Thank you in advance ā„ļø
I have disturbing thoughts. I am very upset. Someone please help me. Please talk to me.
I have something thatās been on my mind but my post isnāt getting any interaction. Only offer advice if youāre willing to respond please!!! People have asked me in the comments to share something and I do and they never answer which makes my mental even worse
