Mental compulsions are still compulsions, just in our heads
In my understanding, OCD is OCD. We're typically triggered in specific ways which makes us categorize it, but OCD is OCD. Pure o is probably triggered in many ways, or non specific ways. Others will probably add more to the discussion, but that's my non expert understanding. :-)
You put this amazingly!!! πππ
@ctc1999 Thank you!
@Someone99 You're welcome!!! It's awesome to feel understood!
@ctc1999 It is. I'm always looking for a friend here. No one in my life circle struggles with OCD, so I feel alone and misunderstood.
@Someone99 Yes!!! Same here!!! Omg!!!
@ctc1999 Alone isn't a good thing! Can we be alone together? π
@Someone99 Can so-ocd triggers for the first time in a form of ( urge, feeling, image ) not just a thought of βwhat if i am a gayβ
@Someone99 Omg yes for sure!!! π
@ctc1999 Yay! Can I check in on you every day?
@Someone99 Yeah!! I don't mind!!
@star1232 Yes all that can be a trigger, if I understand what you're asking. The triggers connected to hormones seem to freak us out the most because it feels more like a part of us, or in us
@ctc1999 Ok. π I don't think we can direct message on this app
@Someone99 Correct!! At least, I don't think so!
@Someone99 I keep seeing posts of people say that hocd triggered them for the first time with a thought not feelings or images or sensations, i just wanted to know that its still an ocd if it triggered us with ( feelings, images, urges β¦ etc)
@ctc1999 Do you have telegram app?
@star1232 I'm sure it can be. I'm not a doctor or therapist. Can you get ERP therapy?
@Someone99 No
@Someone99 But u beats your ocd and recover
@star1232 Not fully, making great progress with ERP therapy, that's why the app gives that "conquerer" badge. It's a daily adventure. When soocd hits me, it includes urges and feelings.
@ctc1999 Are you feeling ok today?
@Someone99 Hi there!! Yes, I'm doing okay!! It's been ebbing and flowing all day!
So basically I didnβt know till my hocd started. But looking back at my life I had ocd since I was a kid. Like 6-7 years old. First time happening I remember that when I was doing stuff many times I had to say something like a little poem in my head to stop it. Then I had this thing were if I felt my left foot touch the floor 5 times I had to do the touch the floor with my right foot too. Then I had something I guess contamination??? Basically after washing my hands I had a sensation on my hand like I could still βfeelβ the germs and I had to wash them again. Then I started having thoughts of my family members getting hurt. I had intrusive thoughts about me hurting my dog. Then I had this obsession that a guy who used to be in my school is looking for me to beat me up. And how itβs this obsession about my sexuality even tho I never doubted or questioned it before. Is that possible??? Like can you be born with it? Iβm pretty sure both my parents have it too. At least at some level. Take my father for example he had an obsession that he was going to die the moment he turned 30.
I got pure o. I don't think that's really the correct term but you get what i'm talking about. I would say that i have it because my ocd just picks and chooses what subtype it wants to bother with me today. Right now, i'm suffering with real event ocd and, hopefully, false memories. But i think i might have cracked the code on it. So my real events and false memories are pretty much private related, which makes it worse because there's no evidence or proof. There are some memories (real events) i can think about and accept that they happened. I still feel guilt and shame but i have closure from it. And there's the other memories (hopefully false memories) that i look at and just cannot wrap my head around. They feel so real like they actually happened and it gives me so much stress, but i sit there and think and think and think on it to see if it actually happened. Btw, these false memories come from my real events but in different situations and times. Like if it was true, i would accept it. Whether or not it made me feel guilt or shame, i would still accept it happened. This is what i think i figured out. I can look at a memory and know for certain it happened. I don't need evidence or nothing. The false memories make me question myself if it did happen. It's still very vivid and looks so real like a real memory, but i just can't be for certain if i did that. It makes me feel like i'm in denial of my past. Sometimes they both work together. A real event can happen but false memories can use its work to detail out the event, tryna make it much worse than it was. Or you can be thinking of a false memory but real events can try linking with that false memory to making you think you did do that. If this makes any sense or if what iβm saying is correct or iβm just crazy, please tell me. All advice is welcome. Thank you
Whats perfectionism ocd like and how do you know if you have it?
