I’m also on a trip, it’s been a hella hard time and I’m still working on trying not to let it ruin me as I’ve heard from people here that gave me hope that it’s been getting better for them, it’s ruined most of my time here but I’ll recommend you stay busy with doing things you love, and if something triggers your ocd, accept it and let it linger. I know the bad feeling stays but that’s the start of recovery. You got this:)

My ocd tends to flare up before a big moment or something that is important. What I do is relax the more you think and obsess about the perfect trips the more you will try to make the thoughts go away in time for your trip the more they will come. Focus on now and what you can do in this moment. What I tell myself is when ocd flares up before an big or important moment that means that ocd knows what is at stake, it will try to do whatever it takes to make sure that you do not have victory in you moment or any moment

Take a minuet to focus on you. You are safe, nothing bad is going to happen. You are far from alone. Do something you love to pick you back up, I know it’s hard to get going but once you do it feels better. Try not to focus on feelings as much as what the truth is:)

Stuck in-between
I don’t know how to deal with the thoughts that come and barely gone. Usually, the brain often remembers and forgets things. People with OCD however struggle with trying to forget the intrusive thoughts because of the imbalance trying to convey what is real and if the thoughts in your head will come true. Just for the past few days, I was having fun and suddenly hit with a wave of obsessive thoughts and making me stuck with nowhere to go.

suic. ocd advice?
so I need to get back into ERP, but it’s so hard to manage these thoughts and learn to deal with them. like I swear my mind has to make everything about it. Like every time I clean my room, my mind’s like yup make sure it’s clean so when your parents find you, or something so stupid like if I get a headache, my mind convinces me that I like the pain and that that’s why I get my thoughts because I actually want to do it. It’s so exhausting. Because I know I would never want to take my life and I treasure my life so why does it do it to me? It’s hard to comprehend the fact of these thoughts too because I don’t know many people with this exact theme. It’s such a scary feeling. And I’m constantly questioning whether I have actual depression or if it’s just my OCD. Yes I have been diagnosed with suicidal OCD, but my mind still tries to convince me otherwise. I just don’t know how to let these just sit and pass without panicking.

Realizing That Thoughts Are Just Thoughts.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesn’t mean it’s true or that it defines me. I’ve started learning how to see OCD for what it is—just a disorder trying to trick me—and I’ve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?
