A lot has been on my mind lately. I just can't seem to stop these intrusive thoughts... my mind's been racing since the time I woke up.. I'm tired, really tired.. I just want these thoughts to go away...
It is exhausting and everytime feeling tired of brain over thinking. Intrusive thoughts when eating,walking,talking to someone. I got medicines for some long times it worked by making sleepy all the day not allowing me to think.but soon i left medicines these happens again.what are you doing your effort to fight ocd ?
Honestly speaking, I'm doing nothing about any of it. Idk what to do about it, where to start, what's gonna be right or wrong... I'm just so so confused that it's irritating me to the point I just wanna sleep all day so as to not think about anything at all.
@Ella_ Rose Ahhh i tried this sleeping method dear. Still you wake up you get thoughts. I tried many tricks to stay in present to enjoy each moment but did not worked. I tried to stay in friends gathering. Still i get so many thoughts that i loose concentration about what others are talking. Before it was not so much worst. But a big trauma in my life caused it worst. Dear did you also faced any trauma recently ? I believe you can help me and i can help you
@junaidkhan327 Yes, I'm afraid, I did face a traumatic event recently- it's been over a year now but I still feel like it's been just a month or 2. Even for me it was bearable before but now things are just out of hand. Ah, I'd be more than glad to help but I'm afraid, I might not be of much help as I'm still new to all this and don't know how to deal with it myself.
@Ella_ Rose Its ok dear. Same a trauma hitted me in 2021 at that time i was in worst condition then i got some medical help but soon medical help stopped it started again with different thoughts. Untill you not get medical help try to stay busy,busy and just busyy doing anything which can make your brain not allowed to thinking.

I'm not so sure about doing this ... As these thoughts also end up being suicidal at times and I do act impulsively, so I'm just scared that I might do something stupid if I agree to these thoughts. Plus I always end up with anxiety attacks after overthinking. This awful feeling just builds up and won't leave me alone ...
Hey man, the only thing I have found that works is waking up when OCD starts knocking. Doesn't matter when it is, you won't be able to go back to sleep. During this time I like to exercise or go to the gym if it's open. You also need some kind of way to reinforce positive thoughts about yourself as OCD really harm self-esteem, making it harder to heal. If you don't have a therapist then the next best option is medication. I'm doing decently on Luvox, but each person may find a different medication useful to help ease exposures.
I do the same thing but then i take lots of meds to me but i know what’s like to be when you have anxiety and General depression like me it’s hard to deal with
Alot is on my mind u feel like I’m going to lose my mind , not really a lot but if I think too hard I think I’m gonna lose my mind , I was trying to slp n I think I’m gonna lose my mind , I’ve always been having thoughts about going crazy it never really changed , I have other thoughts and triggers but they always somehow lead Bk to me thinking I’m going to lose my mind , guys I’m so tired , do I even have ocd
I'm really frustrated right now because once again I feel like I can't keep up with my own brain and I just can't keep doing this. I'm so tired of doing this. My head is always going and going and going and I just want to unplug it. It makes me so stressed. It's like I have someone else in my head who won't shut up and is always pointing everything I do out. Like I'm walking on eggshells around myself so I don't trigger these thoughts. But if I walk on egg shells then it just goes on about something else and I feel like I'm going crazy.. I feel so bad because it makes me so snappy. I want to bash my head in because I'm so over it. The only thing I know that helps is anxiety meds, because I had one one time and it actually really helped me (it didn't even do it's job! Because of how bad my anxiety is!! I'm just so desperate at this point for relief) But the last time I brought up going on meds for anxiety with my mom she said I'll get addicted, like my dad, or my grandma, or whoever else in my family because everyone in my family is addicted to SOMETHING. I don't see the issue in trying though. I feel like I'm someone who could really benefit from anxiety meds. I don't talk about my feelings often BECAUSE of anxiety, so it seems like I'm just trying to go on meds for no reason. But it's like..my body hurts. All the time. And my brain never stops. My brain is so messed up. I feel like I could do so much more if I wasn't like this. It's never going away, I've tried and I've tried and I'm still a mess. I just want it to stop. I'm not asking for much. I just want the fear to stop and the intrusive thoughts to stop and the racing thoughts and the feelings of doom and the nervousness and and I actually want to feel okay in my own skin for fucking once. I've tried everything nothing works im losing patience and I'm losing hope. I feel like there's something wrong with me. I feel like my brain is broken and that makes me sad to be honest. I feel like everyone around me can work. Why can't my stupid brain work???? I try so hard. I try so hard all the time. And it still doesn't do what it needs to do. I hate myself so much.
I'm at my college and don't feel like being here. I didn't even want to come here. I woke up with anxiety bc i feel like i need to solve this. I had a bad stomach ache when i arrived to school and still havent even eaten breakfast yet bc i feel like i have to solve this. Im just so worried bc i have harm thoughts daily. If i could i would remove this! I dont want to think anymore. Its just, how do I know i dont have real urges when I'm feeling a negative emotion like anger or disappointment or annoyance? Im worried EVERY time i feel a negative emotion. Yesterday I was playing video games with my neice (we are close in age range) and she made us lose. She started blaming me and I guess i felt a little annoyed, it really wasnt my fault (dumb mini argument it was more playful since we started laughing but it was a bit annoying). Anyway i got a harm thought while feeling annoyed of me getting off the couch and lunging at her to attack. I immediately look at my bodily reaction and I tense up to stay as still as possible. My stomach was hurting and i wanted to leave as fast as possible. I stood up and turned off the game and said i was tired while making sure to stay back from her (and i had my hands away and stiff) but i felt so uneasy. I laid I bed and felt sad and heavy. And i kept getting thoughts that said "íts only a matter of time before you can't take it anymore". I started to reassurance seek using ai to ask if i was about to or if they are real urges or thoughts i mean until i eventually fell asleep in the middle of the compulsion. Im just so worried, what if I act out impulsevly one day? I dont want to! But what if when feeling a negative emotion, i suddenly dont care and do something? I really dont want to! I dont even want to feel negative emotions anymore since they trigger the thoughts and I dont want to think about any of that. As a result i tend to avoid my family as much as possible bc they are annoying sometimes. I just wish i was all alone sometimes so i wont get any more thoughts and so everyone can be safe. I usually just stay in bed under my blankets all day long to avoid my family and pets. I am constantly uncomfortable. I miss when i would never think any of this. Living life has become very scary for me now. 😞
