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.
I was doing so much better with my OCD. I thought I finally figured it out. However, the last two weeks have been a nightmare. It’s like I went from 0-100 all over again. And it’s become scarier than it ever has been. Every other thought is either causing me anxiety or turning into an intrusive thought. Any headache or feeling of derealization, and I start to spiral. My thoughts are becoming more gruesome and feeling more real. The intrusive urges are so bad it feels like at any moment I could actually just snap. It feels like I am about to go crazy. Another hard aspect is when I’m getting these intrusive urges it feels like I want to do it or I don’t care if I do it. I don’t feel like myself. I feel like this disgusting monster who is just going to lose it and I want it to be over. Why is this happening when I was finally better? It makes me feel like it’s not OCD and I’m actually this person and I’m just holding my true self back. I’m sick to my stomach.
Just wanted to jump on here and express how I have felt lately. The past 5 to 6 months have been pretty excruciating. I conquered OCD 5 years ago and for some reason, it has slipped back and took over my life again. More so the depression that came along with it. Is there anyone else out there that has returned to rock bottom where they once fully climbed themselves out of?
Just been discharged from hospital outpatients after operation and 3 month recovery. There was an ultrasound on eyes and possibility of radiotherapy treatment for a spot there, but turned out it was benign. OCD was quiet during this time. However, now OCD has come back big time, and I'm wishing I hadn't been so fortunate with diagnosis. Tired of going through this like groundhog day, and worried that there will come a time where I won't cope. Can't tell anymore if this is OCD or I'm just losing my mind. All plans and dreams gone now.
