I was doing well for a while and then I relapsed and it feels more realer then ever and like I’ve changed some how. Even questioning if I have ocd sometimes when I know I do.. this thing is tough lol. Anyone relate?
OCD is a bully. It'll say if you don't do this, this will happen. It lies Check the track record on how much of it has happened. One guy said he wasted alot of time in his life, so he stopped obeying OCD and the threats didn't come to pass when he stopped doing the rituals so thats when he found out he was bound up by those thoughts and fears because he was believing lies. He said he wasted so much time doing worthless rituals
OCD is a bully. Relapses are expected. I just got thru one. But you will get thru yours. The way you feel right now won’t last forever. The storm breaks eventually and you will come out the other side with knowledge of how to better handle your emotions, and that what ever thoughts are causing you panic, are LIES.
Sorry about your struggle. I can totally relate. I could be going along fine then an OCD thing comes up. Hope you get through this episode your in now soon.
going through this at the exact moment. it really is so discouraging. just know your ocd likes to play tricks
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
