It's as if... the medication itself has become the compulsion.

It can be, maybe you’re so used to relying on your tablets to make you feel better when you’re not feeling good. Fighting it without medication can be better. I know you can get through this. I have also been going through hocd. I’m getting through it. I also went the harm ocd. I had those thoughts as well. But I started to realize how much I would never want to do anything like that. And how my mind was just playing tricks on me. It helps to realize those things. But to answer your question. Yes I think the tables might be making things harder for you when you are off them.

Contact your therapist or a 24 hour councilor. OCD is just a definition of mind tricks. So what if we think girls are attractive, it's okay to think other people are attractive. Maybe try to get olazopine for intrusive thoughts or diazepam if you're having a really bad day, but they do make you sleepy, I had them in hospital and it helped me calm down and sleep. Clearly you are not ready to go off your anti depressants just yet. It's more than likely that's why your head is a mess like this

Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
