Has anyone made it through this and actually reclaimed the peace they had before going through this? The way I say the world has just completely changed and I donāt know how to find the willpower to keep going unless there is hope of getting that back. I will continue to keep trying anyway, but please tell me it gets easier.
it does get easier, but even without ocd you'll never be "yourself" again, because you always were and always will be yourself, the thing that changes is your experience through such a hard path that is ocd, i can tell you for sure.. you'll always be you :) you just got stronger
@kaio16 Thank you š„²š„²
Yes! I haven't recovered, not even close. But I struggled really hard with harm ocd and then pocd and I thought I will never go back to how I was. The thoughts were so disturbing and disgusting that I thought I will remember them forever and never be the same. Which is completely false. I had three really good weeks where ocd didn't attack me and let me tell you life is great! I forgot about the content of my old intrusive thoughts, I didn't really get new ones, I felt like my old self and I felt happy. Now ocd is flaring up again which sucks but I know I can go back to enjoying my life again! It gets easier! I hope with ERP therapy and a lot of hard work J can get to a point where I don't experience these flare ups
@Pija Thank you, that is so good to hear
They say even Jesus was tempted by the devil , look what they did to Jesus , look at the presidents going to war and committing mass murder , no Human is perfect , Dinosaurs were here before us , Sharks , look at the whole food chain , its destructive , Its up to you to change the way you think , stay away from drugs and alcohol . One thing that has helped me for peace and overcoming ocd is , organic vitamins everyday , our brains need nutrients to function , Vitamin b12 , distilled high quality fish oil , High quality water intake our brains are 70% water or something like that Working out promotes blood flow to the brain , meditate and sit with these thoughts and tell yourself i dont like these thoughts for a reason because they arnt me , listen to this , Rain - rob scallon Mutter -rob scallon Harpu - miqedem How much you love - allie paige Meditate and think , i hate these thoughts , im lost and im a good fuckin person , and thats what im going to continue to be , follow the laws and stay free my friend .
I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before
Iām in an absolutely crippling episode dealing with real event/ false memory. I literally cannot get out of it and it is beyond hell. Can someone please help me with advice? If you have been through this how did you get through?! Iām out of work, the only relief is when Iām sleeping no exaggeration. My husband is being super supportive and Is also taking time off to be with me. Was there a specific medication or any tricks that helped? Iām beyond desperate. Thank you
I feel like Iāll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. Iāll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. Iāll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. Iām just done, my life is over. I canāt even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like Iām so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That thereās some part of me that is a p*do and thatās it. Iām a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
