Iām sorry to tell you friend, but thatās just how it goes ! Weāre all in this together what helps is this community and you keep seeking help , but the ultimate goal is for you not to feel so intensity , Iāve been struggling since I was 18 and Iām 33 , but Iāll tell you one great thing, I am not as bad as I used to be! I have my days or weeks and then Iām back to feeling great again ! Itās just the natural cycle of this beast, but donāt ever give up donāt ever stop . Youāre not alone trust me
Thank you!
To put it in perspective I was struggling big with some rocd with my lady, for a week it lasted on the dot went from Wednesday to Wednesday, that afternoon after work I get home to my Lady and I just can feel myself there again I gave her a big hug told her I missed her and we just talked about my brain issues and Iāve been ok since , so it always comes and goes but when weāve cleared the storm thatās when itās the most beautiful time and moments we can get! Some good things ocd has givin me is strength, and when I get through MY storm life is so beautiful and im thankful every single time to be living . Itās a weird experience ocd is a bitch but thereās also amazing days too
My OCD right now is on the mixture of rocd and I think hocd? I get intrusive urges surrounded about abandoning my friends even though it's the last thing I want and sometimes I end up questioning myself so much that the urges get so much more intense even though I love them so much
@Anonymous Mine is with my gf ! Itās either I get thoughts of her not loving me or cheating on me or itās me thinking I wanna leave her or donāt love her , it sucks i know I struggle with soocd too! But it comes and goes ! And I know itās all just bs cause of the help Iāve gotten the fact Iām more aware of this disorder and have more of an understanding and the fact I know myself more with growing up
@Iamtheonewhooverthinks As a teenager with undiagnosed OCD, it's been really rough for me, because it genuinely makes me question whether or not I have OCD, but I don't think obsessively thinking about a thought for 3 months straight is normal š
Today and yesterday have been so bad for me :( I have been doing extremely well from the past few months but I am in a rut rn
You can get through this! I believe in you!
@Anonymous I think itās hard to realize you wonāt always feel this way even when you logically know you probably wonāt but I just feel so scared that I will even though I have been through these cycles before š
@Keepongoing Thats a very common fear, I once thought that I'd always feel like this, and unfortunately I'm going through a pretty bad relapse of three months and only steadily getting better, but it's worth it. I promise you
No Lolol and thatās why i sought help and was diagnosed with it , I struggled two years straight ! It was hell ! I wanted to end my life , it was a real dark time ! I went from being me to obsessing about a thought or idea in just a night , it happend with the snap of my fingers
I relate, one night, I received sexually intrusive thoughts and it was the worst thing ever! Haven't been the same since unfortunately
@Anonymous I mean if it makes you feel better so do I, with men and woman , I still get them now , I just donāt give a shit as much lmfao when I get the intrusive thoughts about a dude Iām just like uh ok thatās not something I like Lolol
@Iamtheonewhooverthinks That's how I was too, I was asexual, so I panicked when I got those thoughts and groaning responses. It disgusts me thinking about it, but I know it's a natural part of the human body, so yknow
@Iamtheonewhooverthinks But I get a lot of weird thoughts , Iāve come to realize and just except thatās just who I am , but their all just thoughts , everyone gets them , just us with ocd get it more and it gets stuck and we freak out , you can ask everyone in this community and youāll see we all have the same struggles
@Iamtheonewhooverthinks It's so weird, because this theme of mine now as of recent feels so unique and specific to me, I have friends who are online, and one day after having coffee and a pretty stressful day. They vented to me and I had the intrusive thought of what if I unfriended them and it gave me a finger sensation or urge to act on it and it's been crippling me these past three months. It's slowly getting better, but sometimes I feel so alone
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. Itās not like one or two a day. Like if Iām out for the whole day theyāre constant. I feel I canāt even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. Itās awful. Itās everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?
Any tips on how to deal with the rollercoaster of good and bad days with OCD? I had such a good day yesterday with tackling my compulsions and rumination. I tend to get up in the mornings and my OCD loves to start immediately. It becomes frustrating when you feel like you made progress, only to go right back to where you were. Any positive encouragement of how youāve dealt with this would be appreciated!
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and donāt have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit šš I feel like even when Iām not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh š«
