Hey you! I totally understand what you mean. Honestly I am going through the same exact thing right now and im setting up to meditate and am on this app to go to the OCD Attack thing. but honestly I think of it this way, a fake alarm is going off in my head and I can choose to get it attention or ignore it and as time passes we always feel better. Remember when you last felt this way and the next day or a few days after you can totally forget it? Remember that!
@Mimi😎 Thank you!!
I recommend to just find something to take your mind off of whatever it is you’re thinking about. Go on a walk, watch a show, play a game, meditate, this can help you get out of your head for a little instead of maybe just sitting around and doing nothing, because trust me that is only gonna make it worse. I hope you feel better and you’ve got this!! ❣️
@myfunnyvalentine thank you!!❤️
I know this is extremely hard and what I’m about to share is going to be hard but I have confidence in you that you can get thru this. A way to knock this out is to say “it’s just OCD” label it. You don’t have to respond to the thought but just label the thought. When I first started therapy and my therapist asked me to try I thought she was off her rocker. I was in distress, ready to go sit in the emergency room as my compulsion to be safe. Those 3 words “it’s just OCD” saved my life! The way to gaining your power back is within you. You must tell yourself that and you have proofed it over and over just in the other direction. Stand up to OCD AND IT WILL BECOME SMALLER AND IT WILL LOSE ITS POWER!
@Rhonni Thank you!!!
Try the Dare app
Find something to do that you love, move your body, listen to your favorite songs, just try to inject joy into your day when you’re out of control spiraling. It’s hard but if you start now and form the habit you’ll be better off in the long run. Don’t let OCD win.
@luveytwizzles Thank you!!
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me
How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
