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?

I'm wondering if this is a common OCD experience: does anyone else find that when you have idle time, your mind just spirals into endless rumination on negative "what ifs" & intrusive thoughts? It's been happening to me for the past three years, which coincides with starting a really high-stress job. Weekends used to be my time to relax, but now I dread weekends...I only feel relief when I'm sleeping because it's the only time my mind seems to quiet down. It's honestly so depressing to lose that enjoyment. Does anyone else relate to this, and if so, what helps you cope?
