Sounds like typical OCD to me lol
Yep
@koko puff- I know right but still part of my head is saying ‘no it’s not, you’re just trying to convince yourself’. And @ gavsherry- You’ve got this! It’s super hard. I’m feeling so unhappy and my brain is pinpointing my boyfriend/relationship as being the reason for that unhappiness when actually it’s not that at all! OCD distorts everything. But that little part of you that couldn’t leave yesterday is the part you need to listen to!!
Really sucks right? Feels like you’ve got a handle on it because your anxiety has died down but then it just starts something elseeee! So frustrating but it’s great to know I’m not alone xx
Thank you for that!
Really interesting read
Last 3 days my brain is telling me that I don’t want to be with my partner anymore I’m completely numb to her so I tested myself last night “go on then go and finish it “ I couldn’t and really didn’t want to felt fine had a good night sleep woke this morning thinking hang on where’s the anxiety and fuzzy head has it really gone yayyy... wait no it back now ?? .... ocd is like a prime Mike Tyson .. knocks the shit out of u and is really hard to beat but somewhere inside we know it’s ocd and we shall succeed
Right there with you xxxx
Not sure whether I really have OCD? I’m 22 and have only considered the possibility I suffer from OCD in the past few months. I know I have had obsessive inappropriate thoughts and compulsions to confess to them that were so intense I felt sick all the time until I told my parents since I was a really young child, and in all my relationships have been worried I am gay and do not love my boyfriends / I do not love them anymore and have to dump them / intense paranoia they are cheating on me and will not tell me. In recent years I have had flare ups of thoughts that fit POCD and IOCD but when I told a friend I was worried about having OCD after looking into incest nightmares online, she told me she did not think I had it because another of our friends has OCD with counting compulsions (door locking, oven buttons, etc) and I believed I was just really messed up and that maybe it was just my anxiety. My boyfriend (not knowing about my POCD or IOCD thoughts at all) linked me to an article about a woman with OCD and suggested I research it more, and the behaviours and fears seem to fit me very well and make me feel so much less sick and alone. Does this sound like I may have it or might this just be my anxiety clinging onto something? (I have a tendency to cling to diagnoses then be disproved)
Is it just me or does anyone else also doubt the fact that they have OCD even if they know for sure that they do have OCD and have been diagnosed various times??
Random blah-blah: I have GAD, and I think I have OCD too. I don't say that suffer from ocd since I'm not diagnosed. My ex-therapist suggested me to look up for bipolar disorder. The problem is, after half an year, I still don't think I am bipolar. Did my research inside my brain, as well as on the internet. The thing is, I am obssesing over my mental health. OCD was the last disorder that I checked, since I thought it's impossible for me to have it. I am anxious about this one. I am scared. I want to know if I have ocd, and since yesterday, that s all I am doing. Looking up on the internet to find an answer. I am scared if I book a call, the therapist will say: but you have GAD, not OCD. And this will be so bad because I... I honestly can t imagine why it would be so bad. Just that I ve lived in a lie for 2 days. I think my ocd is most obvious in my relationship with my bf. And I feel so bad because he keeps saying that everything he does - is never enough. It s complicated. I just want him to never doubt himself, his actions and our love.
