💙💜 it’s been really hard. This week I start having 2 therapy sessions per week because my thoughts are consuming me. I’ve been crying almost every day. Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s my OCD because my thoughts are not the ones you usually see in the subtypes and examples. Today, I told myself I would work on my goals but only managed to do two things for myself but just feeling like I just want to stay home, order food, and watch Netflix all day. It’s like I dont want to sit with myself. Told myself that I would not research OCD or come into NOCD app as I know this could be a compulsion and a way for me to avoid, and look for reassurance but here I am. Ah! Thank you for this post! 🙏🏼
@DealingwithOCD_ I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling! We have similar themes so I understand what you’re going through. I also cried on a daily basis bc it got so bad to the point where I didn’t want to deal with it anymore. But I managed to get out of that place with time, so there’s hope that you can get better too! And don’t be hard on yourself that you didn’t achieve all your goals today—the fact that you’re trying is what truly matters most ❤️🩹

I’m feeling very terrible. Just recently my partner did something that I would never expect him to do and I feel very disappointed in him. He did apologize and I trust him but I can’t tell if it’s my ocd or my actual genuine feelings and thoughts that I shouldn’t be with him anymore. My ocd is telling me that he’s going to do it again even though I know he won’t. But my ocd feels really strong atm I’m not sure what to do. I feel awful. I try not to feed into my ocd but I fail to do so. 😕
@Kmeji17 This sounds like a tough situation especially when OCD is in the mix. Since you said you still trust him and you know he won’t do it again, I think the all the other stuff is OCD talking. For me, if I feel like I’m having an OCD thought, then I’ll treat it like it is and disregard it. Do what’s best for you but treat the intrusive thoughts as background noise bc they don’t mean anything and shouldn’t get in the way of your relationship.
@blazed Thanks a lot. I really need to ground myself and try my best to let the thoughts pass by. It’s going to be hard but I know it’ll help me in the long run.
@Kmeji17 Yes you’re on the right track! Don’t let OCD dictate what you should or shouldn’t do. I know it’s hard but you got this ❤️
Doing ok. 👍🏻

It’s been bad , last night cried my self to sleep with the bad thought about responsibility ocd , like making mistakes and saying I’m gonna go to jail for this for the mistakes I made , it’s driving me crazy :(((
@Chris5588 I know how hard it is, don’t give up. OCD comes up with the most irrational things but allow it to tell you whatever it wants bc thoughts are just thoughts. And remember, you’re human so it’s okay to make mistakes. You grow and learn from those experiences and it doesn’t make you a bad person 🫂❤️🩹
@blazed Thank you so much 😢
Only started having symptoms of ocd and it's been very hard on me
@Anonymous I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been there too and it’s really exhausting. Practice self-compassion, and remember that your thoughts don’t define who you are 💗
