My brain feels weird if it is quiet - i can try stop compulsions and rumination’s but ill be bombarded by thoughts Is this going to last forever - im trying but it seems like its getting more intense
I relate to this. When I’m feeling decent, I self sabotaging to get some of those intrusive thoughts going. It’s familiar. And when the thoughts aren’t as intense, it feels like I stopped caring which opens a whole new can of worms.
Your brain is genuinely not used to being quiet and is trying to get back to "normal". Getting used to a new normal will take a long time and many attempts, and you will feel frustrated, but this won't last forever.
experiencing all of this
Same. It’s like my brain thinks “if everything is right, then something must be wrong!” Why won’t it just leave me in peace?!
Hello everyone. I often get the feeling that I will go crazy or in a state of permanent suffering. The thought is very persistent and I think is OCD repeating that disturbing thought. If anyone feels the same way. What do you do about it?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
I feel like after years of living in survival mode from various back to back traumas, I don’t know how to turn off my brain. It’s always in some sort of overstimulated cycle of overthinking, rumination, self checking, and seeking reassurance. I know there will be more peace after treatment. But just hating like I’m stuck in always feeling like I’m waiting for the next shoe to drop when so many shit things have happened to me early in life. How am I suppose to be excited about what’s next?
