Hey sorry you’re feeling poorly. It’s important you give yourself grace, we are all only human. Welcome to the human race❤️. Try and have an attitude of willingness to accept our humaneness, follow your values, and let time pass, you will feel better.
Therapy has been super helpful! I have scrupulosity, and my therapist has been helping a lot (along with medication). Through exposures, it’s much easier to let go of things that bother you and rewire your brain to be a bit calmer. I highly recommend it
So what happens (as far as I understand it) your brain is sending you a signal that this is something you need to worry about, but through exposure and response prevention (which you do in therapy and out of it) you teach your brain thats it’s not something to focus on. My therapist is Kim Simmons, she’s fantastic
Some of the therapists from NOCD can meet you online if you want
@Anonymous How much idk if I can afford
It’s hard to resist compulsions, but again, a therapist will really help with this. I think you can schedule a call with one on the app. Maybe if you have time, try to do it now?
I will try tonight I want to give this life one more chance
Thank you
I wish more people were like you on the internet
Feel like nobody cares and it’s really hard to move on
What's stressing you out in life?
@Invalid I really need to talk so if you want we can
@Invalid It’s something that I thought I took care of turns out my ocd thinks otherwise now so we’re back to where we started with it
I'm sorry but I real event OCD and it's difficult. Here to talk if you need someone to talk to.
@Cynthiawedding1 Yeah for sure real event ocd is killing me
I've got a bit a time. Listening
Do you know what are schematics files? Yes so I messed up on them on a server around 8 months ago and my real event ocd is still driving me crazy about it
I just wish it could move on
Yeah I wish my ocd would just move on but it’s been about 8 months and it still bugging me about one thing I wish I was different and didn’t have ocd
Have you been in therapy for ocd before?
No never how can therapy help
I’ve been trying to rewire my mind for 8 months now and nothing has worked
There aren’t many therapy places where I’m from and certainly not for ocd
@scutodragon You can do it online. That’s how I do it
I would do anything to live life without ocd life feels so numb and viod sometimes I feel like I’m dead but alive at the same time idk how to express it
@scutodragon I’m so sorry. We’re here for you
@Anonymous It honestly makes me happy that people care I’ve dealt with such terrible people on the internet tho I did something’s that were out of my control due to my ocd but the world likes them and hates me that why it gave me ocd and not them
@scutodragon I know it sounds weird but we all have OCD for a reason. We’re gonna get through it and be stronger on the other end.
Do you have insurance?
@Anonymous Yeah I think so health insurance?
Yeah, you might be able to work something out through that
Maybe schedule a talk with a therapist here
The worst part of all this is ocd people don’t have much rights tbh nobody respects the disorder and I hate being blamed for stuff I did even tho it was my ocd forcing me not something I chose to do but lucky people like them won’t understand so arguments with stubborn idiots is pointless god knows I’ve tried sometimes I’d rather be dead you know
Hey doesn’t need to be just one more! There’s infinite chances out there ^^ All the best to you! God Bless 💕
The Lord led me to you ^^ let me know how it goes
I know how you feel, I just had a huge flare up of it as well. Literally, it was hard to function and eat. But discussing treatment with a therapist + a trusted and vetted family member saved me a lot. The only reassurance I'll give you is OCD prays exactly on situations like this. You cannot blame yourself for versions of you that you were or could have become. Try and sit with the discomfort that what happened happened, and you know better now. Not "I should have known better", but "I know better now". Hopefully through this, the anxiety will roll off you.
So I was doing good for about 5 months. I was going to therapy, practicing the skills, and for about the past month, I fell into a depression funk. The last week, however, has been a week of really loud OCD. I am in a constant state of anxiety and find myself doing compulsions. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced what I'm about to describe. I'm considering taking myself to the hospital, but my little boy's birthday party is this weekend and I don't want to miss it: I keep having this bad feeling like I actually want to do the bad things in my mind. I know OCD intrusive thoughts can tell you "I want to" but this just seems different - maybe it's OCD trying to come at me a new way. It's not like thoughts telling me "I want" it's like even when I tell myself I don't want to do the bad stuff, there's this nagging feeling telling me I really want to. I'm scared.
I'm 20 weeks pregnant, have suffered with ocd since 16. Had a mental break down over a year ago. Here I am feeling like I am relapsing and the thoughts are out of control, and even worse now that I feel guilty I am causing my baby stress when it's not his fault.
Im struggling with false memory pocd sexual what if thoughts. I discussed it with three therapists. Did CBT and ERP. Ive been free of this intrusive thoughts for 11 months and now its back and i feel like at square onewith doubt. Redoubting things ive already did therapy on and disproved. I felt inner peace and fine for almost a year and now back to feeling stuck ruminating questioning whats real memory and whats false memory even though deep down i kmkw its false memory i have evidence against the thoughts and its so ego dystonic theres no proof as my therapist said.
