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 with this theme feel like their suic. ocd skyrockets when something in your life happens?? i’ve been doing so good managing these thoughts and not panicking, but i had a event happen in my life and all of them are back hitting hard. i’m arguing with myself on whether im actually depressed or not and “what if this means my thoughts are real”, it’s all what if thoughts, but because ive been doing so good with them, what if they are real this time? like im panicking again because im scared they are real? like i’m not depressed im just going through a few things right now. idk what it is. but i really need tips on how to help with setbacks and what to do to stop myself from arguing with my mind when i already know the truth.
Not necessarily asking for reassurance and I know I’ve mentioned this here before but my OCD has been affecting my cognition seemingly. I’ll forget small things or put things in odd places sometimes, or mix up words - things like that. Obviously this triggers me to be like “Alzheimers/dementia.” Can anyone relate? And if you recovered what did you do for it?
Im struggling with false memory pocd sexual what if thoughts. I discussed it with three therapists. Did CBT and ERP. Ive been free of this intrusive thoughts for 11 months and now its back and i feel like at square onewith doubt. Redoubting things ive already did therapy on and disproved. I felt inner peace and fine for almost a year and now back to feeling stuck ruminating questioning whats real memory and whats false memory even though deep down i kmkw its false memory i have evidence against the thoughts and its so ego dystonic theres no proof as my therapist said.
