I’m sorry you’re feeling that today, my therapist had recommended the podcast OCD stories by Stuart Ralph, it’s really a great resource when you are feeling overwhelmed. Check it out and it will help 🫶🏼
@Littlemisshiss where can you listen?
@r0s1e I listen on Spotify but any platform you listen to music on or I’m sure on YouTube as well.
I’m so sorry I remember laying in bed doing rituals over and over again it was terrible
I totally feel this today 🤍 you’re not alone
I couldn't go to work today so ive been working and sleeping in my bed all day. I so feel you. Tomorrow I will get out of bed and go to work and have a better day. Sometimes just getting out of bed helps.
@Ryan Mullen thank you:(
@r0s1e I am 43 and have been dealing with this since I was 16. Most days and years Im fine. I have never been to therapy until 2 months ago. I would suggest getting control now. Even if you dont you can still live a happy life. I have but it can be better.
@Ryan Mullen thank you so much🫶🏼
Feeling the same way. It feels so real:/
@Anon:> I hope you feel better, it helps when you do self care
@Anon:> i hope you do too:(
same. I hate when my brain does this. because I KNOW that it’s ocd but it gets so meta and I start losing my shit obsessing over the thought of me using ocd as an excuse of being a bad person or just making it up
Sometimes i feel like im using ocd as an excuse. What if i dont really have it and im just freaking myself out? Does anyone feel this way
Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do
