Which pills? 👀
@Lyuba i saw your recent post and because i care about your well being i will not disclose that info!
@ocd_junkie ah, so benzos. i hops they help with sleep and that u take them as prescribed ! they can be very helpful to some ppl 🩵
@Lyuba oh no it’s actually seroquel! an antipsychotic. i take it by the handful at night (as prescribed) and it knocks me down cold. i have problems sleeping because of anxiety so that stuff saves me
@ocd_junkie omg i was put on seroquel as well when i was a teen. it completely zombified me as it wasnt the right medication for me obviously, altho it did knock me out. but i'm very glad it's helpful to u !
@Lyuba oh it does the same thing to me! i’m a zombie every single day but it’s better than thinking my thoughts 😀
You live and you learn 😅
@Nica happens literally every time i do a compulsion. it’s like drinking for me. you get a temporary buzz but the aftermath is shit
my bf knows abt my googling and talking with chat bgt but does not know about this app, he is at my house and now im alone bc he is at the bathroom and he told me to not google and things but im confused idk what i feel i want to feel good and happy, i was good amd happy today, but now i have a lot of thoughts, my libido is low and i found it hard to kiss and do sexual things. Im scared i will br like this forever amd that i will never want to have sex (i am a virgin) , i will be 18 soon and i hate that i am like this. Im so scared i will never want to do this. i want to, but i always feel strange and my thoughts attack me making me feel so bad. i hate myself for posting here bc it is a compulsion and i feel like a liar, he loves me so much :(
I know a few of you saw my posts about my ERP and the googling urges. That didn’t end up going well. My therapist actually decided we needed to halt it for now. The thing is it’s almost like I learned googling is harmless from those few exercises and my brain keeps generating more things to google. Normally I would just spiral and be done but now I can barely hold back from searching for long. I eventually give in. I’m horrified because it feels like I want to find illegal content. I swear on everything I am, I don’t want to find anything even close to it. I’m freaking out because I don’t understand what’s happening. I keep compulsively searching/testing/checking or idk. I keep remembering details and I feel like I need to google again to be sure of something. I feel absolutely insane can someone please help me??? I’m petrified I’m going to get in trouble.
Does anyone else struggle with this? I get a sense of dread and then I feel like the need to find the answer. For me it’s about like sexual reproduction or like some other taboo topic. Especially anything reproductive related to children or pets. I feel so awful after researching. I don’t know if the compulsion is to research or to ruminate about my intentions after researching. I have a hard time understanding why this happens I’m assuming it a question of morality? Like “what does this say about me if I wondered this and looked into it?” Does anyone relate to this?
