Anxiety
Anyone feel so overwhelmed & drained by your thoughts, and thinking about what you need to do? I’m trying to bounce back today into my usual life, which isn’t easy when you’re totally out of it.

I know what you mean. I begin therapy today but totally recognize what you said about being overwhelmed and drained. That's me too. Good luck.
I don't have order and symmetry OCD. Mine is contamination.
I hear you. Have you tried ERP therapy - it’s made a huge difference for my contamination OCD.
Just had my first appointment today.

How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have
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.
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.
