I’m sorry that you can’t find something to interest you! It’s funny how sometimes we just can’t figure out what we want to do. I’ll keep thinking …
Thankyou for giving your so much time to me...tbh I guess it happens when either our life gets monotomous or so free that it starts feeling empty and right now I am feeling both plus a lot of boundaries that now I feel heavy to carry...may be now I need something fresh and new to do that could help me to come out of this shell which I am still finding
@Anonymous Yes it’s my pleasure! I’m sorry I couldn’t help more. I hope you are doing better now!
@hannahmae14 Yeah!...much better...thanks to you...
@Anonymous 🙏😊
I get it! I struggle with the same thing 🙁
Try coloring books or drawing
Online or the real ones?
@Anonymous Either one you enjoy moee
@Anonymous I am using the online ones right now to make me sleep...I don't really say whether I enjoy them or not...mostly I use to get me some sleep 🤔
@Anonymous Get into something you enjoy. Even if you feel can't make yourself. Your brain won't be distracted by something you don't enjoy
@Anonymous Right now I am not enjoying anything tbh...but yes trying to find it...
Focus the thinker. Keep the racing thoughts under control by doing something and while you do whatever it is tell yourself you know you're okay it helps me with my ocd to try to calm down
Ok 🤔
Think back to things you used to enjoy. I know it's going to be hard but the only true way to get past it is to acknowledge your ocd thoughts. I've struggled with OCD since at least middle school here lately in the past few years it was terrible I'm now 21 starting to overcome especially with Religious ocd. But God knows my thoughts and that's what's I have to keep telling myself everyday so I can live a normal life. I know whats me and you know what is really you. And everyone has intrusive thoughts. The thing we get stuck on are compulsions. More we ignore the thoughts less power are given to those thoughts. Get what I'm saying?
Yes I do...trying to do the same
Once you can find a way through the ocd everything should start feeling normal again. You should start being happier and realizing whatever the thoughts that are making you feel these ways of not having enjoyment from TV or talking with friends and family. You should start to get them back after you can figure out a way to calm you're thinker. That's the key
It's hard to do so, but I believe anyone God allowed to have OCD he had to make them mentally strong enough to overcome and beat the disorder.
True that!
Ocd is a hard one to beat because our mind literally tricks us into doing compulsions that mean nothing. What truly matters are the thoughts we try to have around the ones we know are us and who we want to be.
That's the only thing my mind needs to understand
Hmmm…try calling a friend. Or going outside or taking a bike ride!
No friend is free and going outside is really difficult...my parents doesn't allow me to roam around like that...
Ok, what about painting, drawing? That sounds kinda boring tho unless you really like doing that 🤔. Do you have siblings? Or play music?
I like drawing but haven't tried it since long...I have siblings but noone has time for me..music I do listen but right now not interesting me...
Ok I get it, sometimes it’s so hard to find things to do that actually sound fun! Are you allowed to watch something, a movie perhaps?
Yes, that's the only thing I do perhaps...but right now not finding anything interesting in that too...🥲

You know that in your heart. The thoughts of whatever it is scares us so badly, because we don't want these thoughts. Correct? Well if we don't want them then why are they bad? It's not who we are we push them out on purpose because we don't accept them and it's not who we are. But the next step is to understand we don't need the compulsions, because this disorder we have is all within us mentally meaning our brain makes up ways of telling us this is how we make it okay in reality no one matter what we do e even it a thought pops up we acknowledge its just a thought that we dont want then go on about our lives our anxiety is gonna be high at first, because it's a new way of living. That thought may keep flaring up since we have our disorder, but even then it's still not who you are so it's still okay. That's what we all need to accept and acknowledge. It is hard but once you face that fact your life will be so much easier. It's hard no down playing it at all, because I've struggled with the same thing for a long time.
I know I just posted, but can someone please tell me how to stop compulsions and ticks? My OCD is really bad and my compulsions are getting really repetitive and I just I can’t stop them. I’m scared because I keep ticking and doing compulsions and I can’t seem to stop it and it feels like I’m having a seizure but I don’t have epilepsy so I don’t know what that feels like, but all my muscles are tensing and I can’t stop squeezing and tensing up. It’s really really not fun and it feels like I need to be putting a straight jacket or something. I’m scared anyone please.
i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?
I’m so tired of having ocd I’m tired
