if you need someone to talk to i’m here! i have contamination ocd so i understand how terrible and debilitating it can get.
@sydthsciencekid tysm!! i also think i have hocd but I haven’t said it to my therapist because i’m too scared 😭
@jayqrc yes hoco is so scary i lowkey deal with it too but not all too often. i felt so guilty that i had to talk to people about it.
@sydthsciencekid i get those thoughts a lot and they tell me that i’m gonna end up with an illness and do something bad it fills all my moments with fear 😞 i have only really told my dad tho
have you talked to a therapist about it?
Specifically how can my fiance best support me without offering reassurance? I'm trying to encourage myself to grow and keep trying ERP, but I'm not sure how I can include my partner in a healthy way. I plan on talking to my therapist about it soon, but I wanted to hear thoughts from people who have been dealing with it themselves.
Told my close friend about how I think I have harm ocd and showed a video describing her experience with it so I wouldn’t have to share mine. Told him how when I see the number 22 I get paranoid that I’ll harm someone, and he gave me advice to go to a psychiatrist then left me on read after we were having a conversation prior. I’m so scared to open up to people about it and now I don’t think I will again.
Hi everyone☀️ has anyone ever vented to a friend without knowing it is a compulsion? Meaning like you believe the thoughts so much in your head you vent to them and they agree with you? Which then fuels your obsessions about your relationship even more? I have really done that less lately the more I have learned about my ROCD, but wanted to know if anyone else experiences this? It’s so hard when we think we are just venting and then someone agrees or goes along with the obsession because they don’t understand the OCD..which then fuels my ROCD 😭 idk if I’m making sense lol hopefully someone understands
