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:)

I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions

I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.

So after my ocd has become more prominent, it gets harder to fight through these compulsion’s everyday. I don’t go to therapy or take any medications and to be honest I am very lost in my journey on how to navigate life with ocd. I don’t want it to take over my life. I want to be able to feel like I can live without a weight on my chest and to finally feel like I can breathe. Any suggestions or words of advice is more than welcome.
