is there any place where you feel like not even the obsessions can get to you?

honestly no, it’s like my brain is never quiet but i have noticed that when i play video games or listen to music the thoughts go away mostly but never completely
For me, the answer is no which is why I always take my OCD with me wherever I go. I don't let OCD get to me and I continue on with my day as best I can. This does take time, so please be patient with yourself and never forget that you've got this! OCD is not in the driver's seat - you are!
@Anonymous Thank you so much ;D
@SilviaRodriguez - You're most welcome! I'm happy to help!
Nope, anywhere I go, I still have to face myself.
I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.
Anyone else feel that when they aren’t experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like I’ve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I “get over” them I just can’t believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasn’t true or didn’t apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didn’t know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.
for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?
