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
i haven’t been diagnosed with ocd but I have anxiety about harming other people/family members and it’s like urges and im scared I actually want to do it? I don’t think I’ve ever been violent as a kid (im 21 now) and the intrusive thoughts don’t go away so im just stuck all day everyday for the past few weeks just thinking and being scared about it and im having all these weird emotions like being irritated and angry I don’t want to hurt people I don’t think idk why my mind is making me think I do I’ve had intrusive thoughts before that I could brush away sure it took like a day or two but this one is different it doesn’t go away and leaves me with the worst fear imaginable and nothing I look up that should be giving me relief is giving me relief + I feel like im not in control of my body and that im just gonna lose it and act on these thoughts it’s just all on a loop and im not sure how im supposed to live the rest of my life when im in constant fear of my self
i’m trying to not let the thoughts bother me but it’s just so stressful. even me typing that feels like i’m lying when i know i’m not. i’m scared because even my therapist tells me that it’s just ocd, but in the back of my mind i slightly don’t believe her, and its making me scared that i AM like those people and im gonna act on something. sometimes in social moments i get a quick thought of me being an outcast because im like those people who are sick in the head and act on that stuff, and it just makes me feel like i truly am gonna eventually act on something. another thing that bothered me is earlier my mom yelled at me for not doing school work (it was well deserved im really slacking on it) and i had like no reaction to her screaming. it had me thinking what if i have no empathy etc etc, and what if i get mad that she yelled at me and i do something involving those thoughts. how do i TRULY know it’s ocd? like i try to remind myself and be like “dude, your therapist said it’s ocd, she isn’t wrong” but the back of my mind is like “she is wrong, it’s not ocd and she just happened to misdiagnose you. you are gonna act on those thoughts and it’s your fate”. please someone respond if you read all of this, im really struggling
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
