Yes, I experience that as well. Isolation is helpful for regrouping sometimes, but prolonged withdrawal from loved ones, etc., can only hurt.....

Yes i totally agree. ? I just got so overwhelmed with the urges and thoughts that I was going to hurt someone I didn't know how to deal with it so i isolated myself now it's just become so difficult to go back to normal life. I only recently discovered its harm ocd I'm suffering with, before that I had no clue what the thoughts and urges were. Although I haven't been diagnosed yet I know for sure that's what I'm suffering with. Just need to drag myself out of this it's so difficult though to be around certain people. It breaks my heart?

theres a danish website that specializes in treating mental issues, and they base a lot of their work on this analogy; you put all of your stresses in a cup, right? lets say ocd fills it up like you would fill up a glass of water. its not nice, no, but managable. you still function to a fair degree. if something really stressful happens on top of that, maybe multiple stressful events at the same time, the cup completely overflows and you end up succumbing to severe anxiety and you burn out. acute stress. but if you were a mentally healthy person before, one who had dealth with their past traumas, someone with great confidence and self esteem who didnt worry all the time, there would be enough room in the cup for these big stressful events when they happen, and you would have a breakdown and burn out.

sure! its like a mix of things, but mainly existential ocd mixed with suicidal ocd (together it makes a crippling fear of getting a depression, of losing myself, of not being happy and content, the future). along with the ocd ive also grown to become really socially anxious, so that too. and then i get a fuckton of panic attacks related to a fear of throwing up. and generally im just too damn worried. how about you?

You know when you have weird thoughts about a coworker and because you have OCD these thoughts really stick and you panic and feel sick? Yeah that’s me and I’ve struggled with having intrusive thoughts about my coworker and now he just got in a relationship with my coworker and my intrusive thoughts are WORSE I thought they would be better? And initially they were because I was relieved that he couldn’t be weird with me now because he has a girlfriend. But this is the thought that i cannot get over- my OCD is like you’re jealous that he doesn’t like you and he’s not with you instead and i envy this girl he is with. Why the fuck am I having these thoughts while I’m in a healthy relationship and love my boyfriend to DEATH- like I know he is my forever. I couldn’t look at him today because I’ve been obsessing over this thought I’ve had in work and now I have to find a new job I hope no one will judge me for these thoughts or maybe someone has had this weird thought before? :(

i’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.

I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
