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
from the moment i wake up to the time i fall back asleep, my thoughts will not go a second without thinking about the same few topics. every second of every day for the past year i cannot stop thinking about my boyfriend. and no, not like "la dee da he's so cute!" no. it's the same thoughts of debating my feelings for him, convincing myself that im a lesbian but won't admit it to myself, convincing myself that i don't actually love him i just love the idea of a relationship with him. im disgusted with him but im passing it off as just i dont like that single flaw and thats fine. i can't stop. it's a broken record. my head is just a broken record. and for MULTIPLE YEARS pretty much since my ADHD diagnosis in middle school (i'm graduating this year) i haven't stopped thinking about mental health. relating every single thing in my life to the fact im neurodivergent. asking myself over and over if a thought i had or an action i made means im this personality, i have this mental disorder, because i have this traumatic memory that's influencing my choice. all day, every day, every second, multiple years. these thoughts are just constantly in my head. i want it to stop. i'm so tired of it. so absolutely exhausted. it's not even the compulsions or the anxiety, i just want the thoughts to end. all i could ask for, the thing i would give the world for, is to go a day without obsessively thinking these thoughts. to be able to experience a trigger but not be triggered. to be able to kiss my boyfriend goodbye and have my head move on to another topic for thought completely. to be able to hear a mental health topic be mentioned and not have the urge to explain every aspect of that topic, nor think about it for hours on end. be able to see random people on the street and accidentally make eye contact with them but not have to obsessively think of what their life is like, what they think of me, that they know i'm obsessively thinking about them and they hate me for that. i want to be able to see my ex friend around school whom im upset at the way things ended but not obsessively think about her and be disgusted and scared about those thoughts and her every move. i sound like a freak, i sound like i belong in a straitjacket, i know. i hate it too. so fucking much. i'm freaked out by myself, i know that if i were to share these thoughts at a podium i would be reported on the news and likely arrested because everyone around is terrified and will assume i will ever act. but i just want this to stop. i'm so desperately waiting for my next doctors appointment to ask for an up dose on my lexapro.
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.
