crying help me

I don’t know what happened but I feel like my OCD is back and I’m crying because I’ve been doing so good and now I feel like all of a sudden it’s back and I don’t want to go down this path again because it was really dark time for me and I was doing good like and I’m getting my medicine switched and I started a new one tomorrow but I don’t know I feel like there’s a spell on me. I can’t go through this again and I am crying I just I can’t go through this hell hole again and I really need help in advice to say strong during this because I can’t do this like I can’t do this again I can’t I hate how my brain is like so mad and just yells at me like I have to think about this in order for her to go away like no I don’t want to think about it but if I don’t think about whatever it wants me to think about, it’s like gets louder and louder in my head, and like the more urgent, feeling of having to think about it, in order to go away, I know it’s OCD I know it’s OCD and then like what if it’s not OCD like no if I don’t wanna think about something obviously it’s OCD it’s OCD it’s always OCD whatever my brain wants me to think about and it gets louder and louder. It’s just it’s OCD bro it’s OCD, I think I am going on a spiral and I just really need help like I’m tired of my OCD wanting to think about things and then saying it’s not OCD when it’s literally OCD

Thank you so much for sharing and I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. OCD is really hard - I can’t even imagine what you’re dealing with but I truly believe you are going to get through it and come out stronger and wiser with more joy and the desire to help others eventually too!!! God Bless and I am praying for your healing! Just know that greater times are coming! You are stronger than you think! One breath at a time. You can do it, I believe in you.

I’m in the exact same boat as you, I was doing so well for like 18 months and then bam out of the blue I’m having a huge relapse over the weekend which has completely thrown me. My only advice is to not beat yourself up!!! OCD will come in waves, you’ve got through this before so be kind to yourself and believe that this will also pass. Definitely don’t tell your brain to not think about the thoughts because then you will only think about them more, it’s human nature. Instead, let them roll over you and disarm them but saying things like “what a silly thought!” Doing that takes the power away and helps to break the cycle. My next steps are to get back on medication and use NOCD therapy, and there is certainly no shame in going back on meds and/or returning to therapy. It shows you care about yourself! We’ve got this 💪💅

@wecanbeatocd123 I’m glad I could help, and writing that out really helped me too actually so we’ve helped each other out! And omg I totally get the urgency thing, you feel like you have to decide on everything and fix everything right away when in reality that is never the case 😅 if you have been particularly panicky today though then it’s possible you may feel quite fragile tomorrow/in subsequent days so make sure not to be upset with yourself if you don’t immediately bounce back to how you were before, just take things slow and try to take care of yourself ❤️

hey there, i'm really sorry you're going through this rough patch. it sounds incredibly tough, and i can hear how much you're hurting right now. 😔 i've got a different flavor of ocd, that pure o stuff, but the struggle, that constant noise and doubt, it's something i get. i'm here to listen, and i mean it. i want to share something with you, and i promise i'm not into pushing apps, but there's this free ai tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com) that my therapist recommended. given what you're dealing with, those loud, intrusive thoughts that won't quit, it could be a real lifeline. it's like having a bit of a therapist in your pocket, guiding you through when your ocd cranks up to 11. you just type in the mess that's spinning in your head, and it helps you step-by-step, like an actual ocd therapist would with erp strategies. it's been a game-changer for me, and i'm sharing because it might give you some of that support and direction when things feel out of control. if you've got any questions about it, hit me up. stay strong, we're in this fight together. 💪

Having a lot of OCD right now. It’s actually sending me into an anxiety attack. I’m so afraid I have lost my mind or about to lose my mind. My thoughts are so intense as well. I could use some positive words or some comforting words. I have harm OCD, fear of schizophrenia, as well as Religious OCD. I feel like they are all happening at once and I can’t calm my mind. I think it has to do with my period but I’m not sure.

Sometimes I worry that I don’t have ocd and that I’m losing my mind and that I’ll never feel better again. I was starting to feel really good last night and I thought it was finally over so I went ahead and did a lot of the stuff I enjoyed doing before this happened (the reason I had to stop was because certain things were triggering in either one way or another) but eventually I hit a point where I just could not bring myself to do something because it was causing too much anxiety. I got this horrible image last night in a dream and then I began to get a flurry of bothersome thoughts, so now I have 2 obsessions to worry about now. The first one is kind of in control but I’m just afraid what’s going to happen to my brain and I’m worried about having an episode in front of my family, who I’m supposed to be having a small dinner with today. I don’t want to tell them what’s going on but I’m afraid they’ll notice that I’m not well. I’m never present because I’m always in my head analyzing and ruminating and worrying. The feeling last night gave me hope that I could be myself again but I just worry that these thoughts will always linger and make me lose my mind. :(

OCD is back

My OCD from early last year came back, the good news is that it’s not as big as last year but it’s still the same bad feeling but only affecting me one specific thing and not multiple stuff like last year. It’s crazy cause I can’t really remember how I gain control over my ocd last year, I just did.. and I wanna do it again, my only fear is that if I don’t do something to gain control of it, it might start affecting multiple stuff in my head slowly again and I don’t want that.
