Tired
So tired of ruminating 24/7 to try and figure out if I’m in denial or if I just have ocd

Hey. After a while I just decided that it the thoughts weren't going to go away so I may as well make it seem like I welcome them and want the thoughts. For ERP sake. I got one about POCD and I just did my best to shrug it off. It feels uncomfortable but it also beats ruminating.
The worst I've had in a very long time. I got over it 5 years ago and it's like it's come back with a vengeance
@beckalouise I’m so sorry to hear this! Sending both of you a big hug. We got this
@Anonymous It just feels like it's totally convinced me. The thoughts aren't there so much now, nor the anxiety.. just feelings? Does that make sense?
@beckalouise Ugh that’s the worst
@beckalouise Oh wow I haven’t heard of that! For me thé anxiety is relatively low. Mostly just ruminating
@Justmesadly It's horrible. Like I keep telling myself I don't want to be with a woman, but I just feel like I'm either lying or that it's just going to happen.
@beckalouise Yes, this is me right now!! Sometimes the anxiety is there full force and sometimes it’s just thoughts, which is even scarier.
@Anonymous I've heard the feelings is the end though!!
@beckalouise Yes I get this!
@beckalouise Makes total sense! I’m kind of going through that as well - but I’ve had times were it was really severe and I felt 100% convinced with feelings and all
@ButterscotchPudding My anxiety is the worst in the mornings!!
@Anonymous That's what I get like! Sometimes I feel so convinced with the feelings and other times it's like 'yeah I know I'm not actually this' it's fucked up!!
@beckalouise The end of the ocd flare up?
@Anonymous I've heard the feelings is like the last part to actually get over if you get me?
@Anonymous How do you feel about being in a group chat? Maybe we could support each other?
@Justmesadly How do you feel about being in a group chat? Maybe we could support each other?
@ButterscotchPudding How do you feel about being in a group chat? Maybe we could support each other?
@beckalouise Yes I’m going through this now
@beckalouise Same here
@beckalouise I would love to join the group
@duane🍀 You going through what I'm going through?
@beckalouise Yes
@duane🍀 Would you like to chat?
@beckalouise Yes
@beckalouise Are you on Snapchat
@duane🍀 I am!
@beckalouise Would love to chat as well! Do you guys have discord?
@Mamba24 I don't I'm sorry! I have Facebook?
@beckalouise What’s your handle
@duane🍀 x_beckaaa
@beckalouise Sure! Sorry I don’t know why I didn’t get this notification
I’m going through a relapse after many months. You’re not alone, and we got this.
@Anonymous Me as well. This theme hasn’t bothered me in a very long time and now it’s probably as bad as when I was diagnosed
@Justmesadly Same! Everything feels so real and it feels like it’s impossible to stop the rumination. I tried to do more ERP but it hasn’t helped - debating if I should keep going with it or just do my best to stop ruminating
@Anonymous Yep same here. I think maybe a little of both will bell
@Justmesadly Help**
@Justmesadly Agreed!
This is exactly me right now :( Mine has been difficult because I have extremely good days with zero thoughts or feelings and I’m confident about my relationship. But then they just hit me like a train some days.
It's exhausting 😞
Agreed!
Im tired of knowing that people have blocked me on NOCD for my pocd / real events ocd posts... Im tired of knowing that I have real events that are POCD related... Im tired of getting intrusive thoughts and false memories of the worst case scenario for my pocd and real events ocd being true... Im so tired of it all...
So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.
I’m so tired of having ocd I’m tired
