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
I'm sry if this may make people worry or feel uncomfortable in advance! Hello everyone as u can see I struggle with ocd and I HATE IT WITH MY LIFE , it started in 2020 covid obv contamination ocd started here , I used to carry alcohol everywhere and used to wash my hands so much that it bled ( had to wear gloves to cover it so friends or family won't see it ) and everything else started since then , harm ocd with myself or friends I couldn't hold a knife..it was really hard..and I have unwanted sexual thoughts ocd , I have panic attacks bc of this..I sometimes cannot look people into their eyes and its so random and so scary..thoughts about.. 🍇..whether it's me or I'm gonna harm someone else uk..I sometimes cannot function properly.. unfortunately friends don't understand it rather think it's about " perfectionism "..I wrote those thoughts and stuff in a journal in more details ofc and doodle ( I'm scared someone will find it ) I hate myself tbh and I don't think someone will read this... I suspect I have ADHD with all this but ocd is " ur faking it " even though lots of people have hinted about it , I thought I actually killed someone for 2 years a girl..until I realized what HOCD is , I thought I faked my ocd too in fact , I have perfectionism ocd too it's bad and I HATE PURE O it's so DRAINING uk.. also idk if this has caused a problem for anyone but if y'all know the Truman show ( basically if u don't know the main character is being filmed and his life is fake and he doesn't know it ) THAT MOVIE HAS HARMED ME SO BADLY FOR YEARS that until today I have to check in the bathroom if there are cameras cuz like ocd makes me think I'm living in a fake world , I used to think people around me , everyone was like a Ai model or smth.. everytime until today I have to clean the toilet seat bc it may be dirty..I have been taking up to 5 showers a day cuz maybe I'm dirty..that's it for today tysm if u read this till the end I'd like to know ur thoughts if u got tips or have similar experiences ! 🤗 U get a chocolate bar 🍫 bc u earned it bc ik how ocd is so frustrating ( I also noticed everyone who has ocd is so nice right 😆! )
I know that sounds a bit harsh, but people with OCD think very differently then everyone else and we do strange things. I used to think OCD was just that we overthink to much and have compulsions to fix it, but its kinda alot more than that i realise. Like peoples lives are legit debilitated from this thing. Thats serious and i dont think others realise that. Mabye im concerned too much idk.
I’ve struggled a lot with mental illness (severe social anxiety, depression, OCD), but have done a lot of work to get to the great place that I’m at now. I feel like a different person compared to how I felt a few years ago. Here’s my question: I started seeing someone really important to me. We’re not official yet, but we’ve been in each others lives for years and it feels like it’s the real deal. He struggles with OCD, and it’s much worse than mine ever was. My question is, do you think this is healthy for me, as someone who has done the work to get to a better place? He’s not in therapy, he’s against medication (I love my meds — they changed my life), and is generally in a different place than I am mentally.
