Its in the past? Then it happened already. Regardless your not responsible for controllin everything ...let it be...its not worth your anxiety. Tell urself "what is meant to be will be" and I cannot control what happens in the world. It may OR may not ..what if? ..ok so what. You can go on and live your life ...you CANš its just your obsessions goin playing you dont let that upset you. Its only thoughts not Real ..leave the thought at the door, let it goš

No worry please, Honestly sometimes they cant see them all, lots of posts daily from different countries its alot on feed so not everyone will see your post to answer. Its not they dont read or care. I posted few days ago no reply then i saw several posts that came right after mine pushing mine ALL the way down on feed so no one saw it. People DO Care here....I CAREā¤

Just wanted to say something that has helped me is just being sarcastic with those thoughts like āYup youāre right sure Iām going crazy uh huh sureee ā like just laughing at it helps like acknowledge the thought but laugh at it poke fun at it it has helped me on top of the maybe, maybe not thought also

Yeah we pour our heart out and get one reply if that itās actually quite sad how selfish people are,I am trying to deal with what if thoughts for the last year and am struggling really bad because people just say that you think to yourself āwhat if it does what if it doesnātā but saying that to myself just makes me believe it will come true š¢

What if" thoughts are demon of OCD they always be there. They tell us to learn to accept the uncertainty of ..yes this may or may not happen then letting it BE. We cant control are thoughts we learn to accept them and not be controlled by anxiety. OCD lies it will ALWAYS tell us the worst will happen ...we know that's not true. It wants us to panic and stop. Keep goin! And let the thought pass you will feel better knowing ...ok whatever i let it GO!!šš

I am in the same place after feeling anxious after a real event there was no reason for me to feel anxious so I started going over the day in my mind and couldnāt find anything to be anxious about so my mind started throwing in intrusive thoughts to explain the anxiety now the feel like they happened but I know they didnāt

kind of a rough day
iām trying to not let the thoughts bother me but itās just so stressful. even me typing that feels like iām lying when i know iām not. iām scared because even my therapist tells me that itās just ocd, but in the back of my mind i slightly donāt believe her, and its making me scared that i AM like those people and im gonna act on something. sometimes in social moments i get a quick thought of me being an outcast because im like those people who are sick in the head and act on that stuff, and it just makes me feel like i truly am gonna eventually act on something. another thing that bothered me is earlier my mom yelled at me for not doing school work (it was well deserved im really slacking on it) and i had like no reaction to her screaming. it had me thinking what if i have no empathy etc etc, and what if i get mad that she yelled at me and i do something involving those thoughts. how do i TRULY know itās ocd? like i try to remind myself and be like ādude, your therapist said itās ocd, she isnāt wrongā but the back of my mind is like āshe is wrong, itās not ocd and she just happened to misdiagnose you. you are gonna act on those thoughts and itās your fateā. please someone respond if you read all of this, im really struggling

I hope that this time someone will reply
I feel so horrible and sad right now. Iāve been posting about what Iām going through on my other account but no one comments or reacts. Iāve posted many times yet no one bothers to respond. I feel so terrible. I want to cry because I feel like Iām already too far gone, beyond forgiveness. I want to delete this app, but if I do, Iāll have no one to share with when I'm really having a hard time to deal with my ocd. I have no one who understands my ocd except the people on this app but it hurts me that no one replies anymore. Iām so sorry for posting something like this. Iām just sharing what I really feel. I donāt know what to do with my life anymore. I feel like I'm about to go insane. Sometimes I feel like it's not my ocd anymore because no one responds to my posts. Honestly, I really feel like I don't have ocd anymore especially because I'm undiagnosed. It makes me feel like Iām the most cruel person in the world, someone who doesnāt deserve love or forgiveness. Iām not trying to guilt trip anyone. I know that you are all struggling too. I truly hope you all get better. š
