Do you mean conquering your ocd? If so then yes (if you follow a set plan) but I still recommend getting an ocd specialist if you have the resources for that. I know people who have been cured of ocd and they are so much happier now. Ocd can be really rough but you can definitely do it and I believe in you! ❤️

@Anonymous I know the feeling all too well. Where do the thoughts come from? Is there a subject or a theme to your most intrusive thoughts?

@Anonymous I struggle the same way, having conversations I had in the past saying something different or better, etc. Sounds like what you described. I can give suggestions based on what I've learned in ERP if you'd like.

@Anonymous I see you list religion and spirituality as your subtype. Do your intrusive thoughts stem from religion?

The struggle is in our attempt to figure it out, to make sense of it, to find a solution. That's what's natural to us because we've been thinking that way all our lives, although it may not have always been so noticable and disruptive. So, it's necessary to start to think in a way that we're not used to

True that...but I am not finding that how should I start to think that could make me come out of this guilt and shame and could stop making me anxious...and yes it stems from my religion

@Anonymous Well, there's a couple things going on, it seems. First, guilt and shame is the result of something that happened. Second, feeling unforgiven, unforgivable because of what happened, third, reoccurring thoughts holding you captive. So there's some things you need to resolve along with learning to manage the thoughts.

@Anonymous For me, I couldn't find peace, grace, and forgiveness until I was able to manage the intrusive thoughts. Because when I'm in an OCD crisis I can't receive all those things, especially God's love. I can't even pray and worship, just feel completely separated and alone

@Someone99 That's the problem I haven't did anything for real...it's all in thoughts...and just that thoughts which are not in my control is creating this mess...ukw I don't remember my last year correctly when I feel I was in better state but why and how no matter how much I try to remember I don't get why I was better at that time and why I am in distress now

Everything feels Like its falling apart at the Moment. I am faced with Lots of unprocessed trauma and flashbacks in my Relationship + this stupid pocd that latches onto my Partner. Even if I Just know and she has also OCD, Anxiety, maybe autism BC she cannot read emotions or reacts Sometimes too rational, she understands me best. She understands my illnesses and intrusive thoughts and in the past she got triggered by the pocd also a little bit. Just the disgust Feelings, triggers in some Situations and Compulsion to Look away and some what If thoughts.... It didnt get much worse but I maybe constantly reminding her of some stuff because I have to hold myself back from Compulsions.... She opened Up over some stuff that happened in her childhood and over the Last weeks it got worse and worse in my case BC of triggers of my own childhood Trauma and Trauma in General.... And she is a mirror.. I feel constantly unloved or unwanted, I am so impulsive, I insulted her in Arguments as a p..... Such stuff... She does Not leave but I feel that she has no Energy left either... Before a few days it heated so much Up that I was outside until late at night.... Slept on the Couch.... Next day the Argument continued... I h@rmed myself .... I also hurted myself thursday night with a plastic bottle but on friday it was with a kn*fe.... She called ambulance.... I Had to Go to Hospital.... I never went with an ambulance to Hospital.... That day when I was Back WE Had a good afternoon and it was okay.... Saturday was okay too Just the night.... I have some disturbing Feelings BC the OCD and everything impacts our seggs life .... I offen feel unwanted or undesired.... Misscommunication can lead to arguments... Yesterday in the evening it got worse after a day that was alright.... I was Feeling Like leaving but I stayed outside and she was so upset she didnt let me in... Then we chose to pause the argument... Today it was alright I think but I was so worried what to do If I should Work tomorrow again bc I am sick since a week..... But on a walk outside it was hard to speak without getting upset... So I Said I wanted to walk alone and she should Go the other way... After a few Minutes she was gone... I don't know where she is since Like 1 h 40 Minutes.... Tried to send WhatsApp and call but she isnt online.... Thought she wasn't at Home so I didnt Ring the bell and now I am sitting at MC Donalds.... Maybe I try to Go Back to the House and Look .... If she is there.... I barely have Energy for myself how should I Take Energy for her and the Relationship too? Pls send advice. Kind regards. Jal

okay so I’m 18, I’ve always been kinda a homebody , especially recently starting lexapro made my anxiety worse at first ect. I feel so scared to be in the “ real world” because I feel like I’m not independent at all:/ I’ve never had a job I had 1 at 16 for 2 weeks and it wasn’t to bad. I can drive , but it’s kinda hard for me , I get scared of thinking of the future and independence “what if I’m not capable” “What if my mental health doesn’t allow me too” ect ..:/
