🙏🙏🙏
What’s going on?
@blazed I have a lot of personal stuff going on in my life and stress that I think is making my ocd worse. I recently started having TOCD intrusive thoughts and my other themes are worse too. I don’t know if the anger is normal and I don’t know if the TOCD thoughts are “normal” either. I’m worried this theme will stick. I don’t feel like myself. It’s just a lot at once.
@blazed And thank you for asking 🤍
@Whyyocd I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time! It’s totally normal to feel angry bc you didn’t ask for any of this and it’s taking a toll on you. The best thing to do is focus on the things within your control and minimize stress wherever possible. Stress can definitely aggravate OCD and anxiety, so take it easy, practice mindfulness/grounding techniques, write down your thoughts and emotions, and be kind to yourself 🫂 you can get through this, I believe in you!
@blazed Thank you! I really appreciate it!!
Does anyone else experience this lingering fear and anxiety because they think they’re capable of hurting someone? It’s killing me. I feel like I’m such a danger. I feel like I’m a predator. I feel like this awful person and I can’t shake it. I want to carry on with my day but I can’t. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I feel like I’ve done awful things. I can’t stop crying.
I don’t know why but today I feel so incredibly angry right now and I was so frustrated with everything including my two dogs. I didn’t hurt them or hit them or anything but I was particularly annoyed and angry when they were trying to get presumably a bunny or a raccoon from underneath the shed, so I had to pull my small dog away when he wouldn’t budge away from the shed and i couldn’t pick him up because I was not close enough. I feel bad because I know I love my dogs but oh my god I just get so annoyed with them and on top of them everything else I have to just shut down all day and the things I don’t understand. I feel like I’m going insane. I don’t want my dogs to think I don’t love them because i was angry and annoyed at them. I know they’re just animals and they love me and I love them. I want them to know I’m sorry for even getting mad. I wish I didn’t feel so angry and yet so disconnected at the same time. I’m terrified I’m an evil person or that I don’t love my pets or something. I started to hit myself and punch myself because I do that when I get over the edge angry. I don’t know why I feel angry. It’s a mix of anger and emptiness and I don’t want either of them especially towards my dogs.
I feel like when I am in the middle of a bad flare up I get super grumpy and easily irritated. I hate it!
