So I scrolling through tiktok and there was a psychology video and it said that there’s no such thing as a accidental slip of the tongue and that a verbal blunder is a subconscious expression of their true thoughts and feelings and that similar thing they said sounds close to a Freudian slip which is people who accidentally say something that they desire. But when I was doing a mental compulsion I told myself “stop saying would want to”but i was supposed to say stop saying want to” and ocd keeps since I messed up what I was saying that is a subconscious desire that I actually want it when I don’t actually want it. I’m stressed asf right now and don’t know how to get through this

Stop trusting tik tok for your medical and psychological needs.

@49ers17 Whether it popped up or not, you need to remember it’s a silly social media site and to not trust whatever random people say. And that also includes what your OCD has to say on the matter too.

On NOCD videos one thing they've said and I've used to get through moments is "I did mean it or I didn't mean it." And sit with the discomfort. It helps me sit with the discomfort of the statement I don't want and not allow myself to comfort myself with the statement I want.

Understand that TikTok psychologist are very foolish sometimes and can actually be some of the most unprofessional people you’ll ever see. Understand what they’re saying is very subjective and that truthfully there is such a thing as “slip of the tongue”. It does not mean it shows our true desires or real needs just because we slipped up on a thought or few words. That’s illogical and it’s actually very normal to stumble your words and say the wrong things by accident. It’s a very human thing to do actually. So I don’t know where this person who claims to be a “psychologist” or “knows psychology” got their sources and thinks that this is true. It ironically sounds more subjective on their end more then factual. I know it’s stressful but please understand that it is simply a compulsive behavior that is there that you have internally made to try and help yourself feel better, I know that getting it wrong is the most stressful thing ever. I’d know very well. All too well. But remember that it is simply a compulsive behavior that does not reflect who you are and it does not mean things will get worse if you slip up. It’s okay and it does not mean you actually desire said thing or want to commit or do said thing. You’re actually doing a great job by understanding it’s not you who is saying that but that it is ocd. Just do your best to remain calm and ground yourself within reality and do your best to push on so said thought can pass with time. It’s easier said then done but do your best to just keep on with the daily task and simply just acknowledge the thought. With time it’ll pass and it will all be okay. I’m sorry for the whole Ted talk, but I hope this was able to help, my dearest apologies if what I said was ignorant or was not a proper reflection of what you deal with. I myself may not deal with what you deal with, but I hope from my perspective , that I can help give some other understandings for you on your end.

Past intrusive thoughts

I’m 21M and i believe i’ve had ocd for a lot of my life. I started researching ocd when i was either 16 or 17 because my intrusive thoughts were starting to get really loud and wouldn’t leave me alone. And they are still loud but never louder than before. I never talked to anybody about this until i brought it up to my fiance a month ago because my stress level was at an all time high. I don’t think she really understands because i haven’t went into detail about all my thoughts. Just bits and pieces of it. Anyways, i’ve been stressing about my past intrusive thoughts. I’m concerned on why i wasn’t as stressed as i am today. I was still stressed and had anxiety but i’m guessing i handled it better then. Today though, i’m stressing constantly. Like i never knew this app existed, i never watched videos on this condition or there were different subtypes until now, or i think i didn’t know. I remember back then i would research and research about this and have mental rituals but that was it. Like i wasn’t so stressed back then. Now, i just feel like i’m sick all the time. I’m just scared that my past intrusive thoughts were my true desires. I know they ain’t but how can i tell my brain that? I just wished i would have known more about this back then. I absolutely hate this and i don’t wish this on anybody

Gotten worse

My ocd them has gotten worse and I’m trying my hardest to not look for reassurance. Why does my mind play these tricks on me that I’m saying my thoughts out loud????? I’m trying my hardest to ignore it but it’s making me depressed. When I’m ignoring it my brain will go to “everybody will talk about you” “you said something bad” “you said it out loud and when you’ll live a terrible life”. I don’t know what to do anymore

Really struggling!

Hi guys! I had really bad harm ocd about 2 years ago and I went through therapy and eventually got really good at handling it when it would pop up. The other day, I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a girl talking about a guy who was presenting a lot of schizophrenic symptoms but no one paid attention and got him help, he was having a lot of delusions, hallucinating, thinking everyone was out to get him, thought he was Jesus and his dad was the president and ended up doing horrific things. The day after that, I was dealing with some work drama and had the thought of “what if all my coworkers are against me and trying to get me fired”. That really stressed me out, cause I don’t normally think about them like that and I went down a rabbit hole of thinking that was the beginning of me developing schizophrenia, ended up googling stuff all night, taking tests, crying and seeking reassurance. I had a thought the other day “your dad is the president”, this one didn’t stress me out as bad as I knew it was just the video I had seen and it was an intrusive thought about it, and I also didn’t believe it. Today I was with some friends and I got a prize at a place we went and it said “lonely” on it. I do have my moments of feeling lonely and this week has been specifically trying so I had a thought like “oh someone’s out to get me cause I got this”. I know this isn’t logical and it wouldn’t make sense to just randomly get it if someone was truly after me and it was just a stupid prize at a random place, anyone could’ve gotten it. Im just struggling a lot with schizophrenic OCD and thinking I’m in the pre stages of it. In my good moments, I don’t think I am at all and it was all just sparked from the video I watched but in my bad moments, these thoughts feel real!! They really stress me out and make me feel like I’m going to lose my mind causing me to lose my job/ end up in a psych hospital/ never live a normal life/ end up alone, never see me my loved ones/ hurt my loved ones. I just want to feel normal and not like I’m about to lose my mind and everything I care about. Please help!!! Anyone else going through something similar and can help me get through this!
