Feel like the OCD switch will never turn off
I’ve dealt with for several years now Relationship OCD, Religious OCD, Pure O and it’s been really getting to me lately. I’ll have a couple days where I’m being more mindful and able to function like what feels like my old self before the OCD got , but then the switch of OCD always comes back on. I start obsessing over my thoughts again, not able to go back into that mindful state for more than a couple seconds to a minute before the thoughts come back. When the thoughts come I feel like I’m a different person, trapped in my body and it feels like I have more times as that different person in comparison to the person whose mindful and making the most of what I’m dealing with. I try not to fight the thoughts, but I always feel entangled in their grasp and it’s hard to feel like it’s not inevitable that I’ll live with this for the rest of my life. I try and think more positive thoughts, and I know I’m not on the full dosage of my meds yet but it’s just a struggle. I wanna love living again, but in this state of the obsessional thoughts it feels as if I’ll always be trapped in this mind with no chance of escaping to the side I enjoy living in.
