Ocd question
What's the ocd who is hard to live with it
What's the ocd who is hard to live with it
It honestly depends on the individual. Each person has been through different life experiences, therefore, certain types of OCD can affect someone in difference levels. I must say, OCD in general is very hard to live with. For me, any type of sexual OCD mixed with real events OCD torments me so much. But to another individual, HOCD is their absolute torment. No matter what OCD you have, just keep going and don’t let this mental illness limit you from having a peaceful life!
I think whatever theme you’re currently stuck with you will judge as the worst to live with. I’ve had so many themes over the years and I always think ‘this is the worse yet’ but when you’re in the midst of ocd you feel that the theme you’re experiencing is the worst one and cannot be tamed. I don’t think it does us any favours comparing which is hard to live with. The theme you’ve got now has stuck for a reason because of your core values or uncertainity around a certain thing. So for you to be living with whatever subtype at the moment you’re doing a amazing job! Keep persevering 👍🏼
IVE been thru hocd,soocd,pocd,and zocd. Pocd and zocd are my current ones, by far I’d say zocd and pocd just because I don’t get to enjoy certain things like how I used too. But this is just me, it’s different for everyone. But it also does depend, maybe I feel these are the worst ones because those are the two I’m currently struggling with?
for my experience with soocd , zocd , hocd, Harm OCD , the first who I ever get the fear of my life is suicidal ocd guys ........you will ask yourself dumb question I'm I suicidal F
Sometimes when I ruminate or try to disprove my themes (I know I shouldn’t do it but sometimes it’s to overwhelming and I can’t help it I’ve been getting better with it though) it feels like I’m arguing with another person, like there’s another person living in my head and they try to disprove everything I do, it’s usually a different voice from my own but when it’s really fucking with me it’s my own voice and it’s irritating, it just feels like another person lives in my head like there a bad influence and tell me to do all this shit and it’s horrible, I know it’s ocd but it just feels like another person in my head who’s constantly against me and everything I believe and when I argue I get literally no where it pulls shit out of its ass and says the most absurd shit and it makes me feel horrible, just wanted to know if anyone else’s ocd feels like it comes in the form of another person that’s living in your head?
I'm reaching out in hopes of finding others who might relate to my experiences or offer insights. I'm dealing with a complex interplay of OCD, depression, and existential anxiety, and I'm struggling to make sense of it all. Here's what I'm experiencing: I have OCD with various manifestations, along with episodes of depression. I find myself in a cyclical pattern where, after a few weeks, I start to remind myself about my depressive tendencies. This reminder seems to trigger a cycle that actually makes me feel more depressed or at least more aware of depressive symptoms. When this happens, I often experience feelings of nihilism and existential dread. I try to think about my family - my two young boys and my wife - to find motivation or a sense of purpose, but this strategy often backfires, making me feel even more anxious and depressed. I constantly check my feelings, wondering if they're depressive or anxious. At the same time, I fear that my feelings of anxiety and panic might spiral out of control. I think about my emotions and thoughts on a meta-level, which means I'm not just experiencing feelings, but I'm also constantly analyzing the fact that I'm experiencing them. There's an existential component to my struggles, a fear of depression and anxiety itself, and a sense that this might be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps most frustratingly, I often have feelings, thoughts, or sensory experiences that I can't explain or put into words. I feel like I've never heard of these before, which leaves me feeling deeply misunderstood. Does anyone else experience something similar? How do you cope with this complex web of symptoms and experiences? I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who've found ways to break the cycle of meta-cognition and self-fulfilling anxiety. Any insights, shared experiences, or strategies would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your time and understanding.
