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

I Need Some Real Help
I'm drowsy, which is a frequent problem in the motel room I live in, but I want to get something posted. I don't have the energy to post everything I need to say. I need someone who can help me navigate forms and processes to do several things, not all of which I'm going to post right now. I'm in an abusive relationship (not physically), and many agree, including The National Domestic Violence Hotline. They said I'm also being financially abused. I have no friends or family IRL, and I'm alone. For years, my only socializing has been giving servers my orders, paying cashiers, discussing services, and talking to my boyfriend (which usually doesn't go well, plus we mostly avoid conversation with each other, because it's best). I can't leave because of OCD, panic disorder, physical disabilities, and finances. I'm severely obese, which has caused a lot of difficulties. I get out of breath just reaching for some things and I deal with a lot of pain and discomfort. I can't walk stores. I often eat at one restaurant (I try to eat as healthy as I can there), but recently, I have to ask for a table closer to the bathroom. They often don't understand how difficult it is for me to walk from further away. I get exhausted and sweaty when using the bathroom and people stare at me. Once in awhile, people ask if I'm OK. I sometimes worry I will have to sit down before I get back to my table if it's not close enough. Using the bathroom takes me an embarrassingly long time, partially for physical reasons, partially because of OCD. I suffer from urge incontinence. I literally have to live my life around it. I've begged my boyfriend to order the much better-fitting, more comfortable, and more absorbent underwear I tried samples of, but he doesn't. The cheap underwear doesn't come in my size and is worse in every way. The OCD and panic disorder are insinuated in pretty much every part of my life, including the disabilities. No one gets it or understands. No one who can help me takes Medicare here. I get overwhelmed easily and my head gets foggy, and I don't have the energy or can't think right (racing thoughts) trying to call resources, and they sometimes rush me, cut me off, or seem impatient. Yes, I am on medication and have been for most of my life. I've been on many medications, and I have a very different opinion of them and the mental health system than when I was young. I'm 57 and I've been dealing with this since I was 10. I have severe dental problems and it affects how I eat, look, speak, and feel. It's humiliating. At the same time, what I eat in general affects my body in unpleasant ways sometimes. Soft foods aren't always the best, but I can't eat really hard foods. My boyfriend and I have lived in a motel room for about six years, plus bounced from hotels for awhile before that, after my boyfriend lost his house. It's hell. I'm not getting into what some label "politics." I have things I need help with regarding that. I could say SO much more, and there's so much I haven't gone into (like the abuse). I need someone who can help me, not just make me feel better because we talked. I need someone who can help me make changes.
