Hey love! Ocd is beyond hard, and it’s very good at making itself seem invisible and like it’s not the problem. When I was younger my mom always made my ocd worse and honestly still does. But I’m learning to recognize that and to see that this is ocd and not me. Some people trigger it more than others but it’s not the people that are the problem. It’s the disease. And we have to remember in our hardest moments that this is a disease. I’m extremely proud of you for reaching out for help, and please know you are never alone. A lot of people on this app including me are going through very similar problems but it connects us all in a way. And knowing other people can get better just shows you can too. You’ve got this❤️🫶
Many successful people fail before they finally succeed. If you keep going and learn from your mistakes you will eventually succeed. Check out the YouTube channel OCD and Anxiety it has helped me a lot. Treatment for OCD takes work and consistency. First, start recognizing whenever OCD thoughts pop into your head to train your brain to recognize these are from OCD by saying to yourself " I think this may be an OCD thought" then face your fear by saying " this may or may not happen there's no way to be certain" ERP can be done by yourself but it's more helpful with a therapist. Your anxiety will spike at first because you are challenging the uncertainty but soon, if you don't do any compulsions, it will decrease quickly. Just don't reassure yourself, and don't look anything up online to reassure yourself. Don't try to be certain about anything OCD related.
My rocd is spiraling so bad i feel like I’m terrible and can’t recover 😓 idk wuts real anymore yet ik i never wanna leave my man😓whats wrong w me
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
