Hiš¤
My goal is acceptance. My preference is to not have anxiety but I do So Iāll have my anxiety and live my life. Not saying I like it but I have it anyway. Thatās all folksš¤

Great goal!
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing ādonāt be mean to mom next timeā but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that couldāve been contaminated and now Iām writing ānext time donāt touch this and thisā. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and Iām writing ādonāt forget to do this and thisā even though Iāve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that Iāll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. Iām sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but thatās too hard for me
Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. Iām a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. Thatās when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime Iām in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because thatās not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if Iām a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but itās there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often heās not real that stuff isnāt real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so Iām really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this itās a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. Itās pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I donāt care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, itās a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when Iām not consumed by OCD. Iām present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. Iām evolving. š Thanks NOCD community.
