Nightmare

Personally I try to shift my perspective a little concerning OCD and realize it will return again probably soon and I try to accept that idea with more of a indifference that way it has less of a tight grip on me and makes it somewhat easier for it to run its course in a little smoother way .

llacerda, I’ve been suffering from anxiety for almost 20 years. I just recently started getting treatment for Pure OCD (Intrusive thoughts) because I just learned that I have it, I just learned what it is. I think the thing that has helped me the most is learning that PURE OCD causes you to have thoughts and convinces your brain that something bad actually happened or something bad will happen. I found a little comfort knowing that all this time my mind was just playing tricks on me, trying to scare me but there’s no merit to my thoughts, they are just deception. Does knowing this information help you at all? I’m just curious because you’ve been dealing with this for 4 years, for me it’s almost been 20 so maybe it’s easier for me to accept this and find a little comfort because of the amount of time? I don’t know. I’m not sure if I learned this information 16 years ago if it would have helped me or not because my anxiety was so bad back then but I hope it helps you, even in the slightest bit.

It’s ironic because the stress that I’ve put on my body from worrying all these years has likely put more strain on me then the things I worry about happening would have caused. By no means am I “cured” of my thoughts but just by researching and learning about PURE OCD, it’s helped me a lot. Nobody should ever give up on you. This is not your fault. You didn’t choose this mental problem. And you will get better.

Take it day by day ❤️ try not to think into the future just live in the moment your in! Just remember your not alone!!

I feel this so hard

May I suggest not to review today or preview tomorrow. Rather live in the moment.

Thanks everyone
