Can I ask how long have you had ocd and what are your themes? For you to write what you have written shows that you are really struggling and thats okay because trust me I know exactly what that feels like as im sure many others here have felt the same. I have struggled terribly with ocd for 4 years now to the point that I cant even walk into a room without stepping out of the room and back into it again. That is just one of the many rituals I have. I have realised that I have probably always had an anxiety disorder and it was life events that manifested it into this ocd. Erp and medication never helped me either altough I think the erp didn't help when I did it because I didnt fully commit to it. I am still trying to navigate myself out of ocd but I think that the main reason that many of us struggle is because we view it as a destination that we desperately want rather than a journey that we are on. I also don't think that it's possible to 'think' our way our way out of mental health problems and it is likely overthinking that played a big part and continues to play a big part in us having ocd

My theme of real event ocd is weird complex and depressing as well as problematic it all began in march of 2023 I always had ocd but this was the breakdown point I messed up in file created and typed random numbers I could not delete the files but I needed them to be deleted the staff of the place told me to be patient but I could not wait because my ocd made everything so pushy and didn’t want to wait so I got banned the files existing caused ocd for me but then I managed to control it using not erp which never works but acceptance and commitment therapy it took 9 months but it was manageable enough then yesterday I lost a pencil which seems very silly but my brain works in A sense that there can’t be too many thoughts and one thought was one too many

Also most of the people I’ve encountered were not the most understanding to ocd which made me angry which why is now I deeply hate humans that are not family to me and I wish there are some sort of event to wipe out the internet because I don’t want to live anymore the 2020s have been horrible

I think ocd must be one of the hardest things to try and reduce or alleviate but I honestly think that it starts with small steps of positive action that will raise our self asteem like for instance cleaning our teeth and making our bed in the morning if we have stopped doing that. Eating meals at the right times and trying to eat healthy and drink water. Going for a walk or a light jog. Reading a book. These things almost certainly won't make the OCD disappear but if these positive things are repeated every day for a good period of time then I do beleive that our self asteem will be raised and the ocd will be reduced. We might then be ready for erp. I hope my comment has helped you in some way.

@Joe87 Yeah aren’t you a little frustrated tho ocd people have such a disadvantage compared to normal people I wish I was not like this then those demons would have not gotten the chance they did and I would be happy

@scutodragon So are you saying that it drove you crazy that you couldn't delete that information straight away and then it also made you feel the same way when you lost the pencil? Can you elaborate a little on what you felt when you lost the pencil? Where you obsessing over it and feeling like you needed to find it as if it was really important? It sounds to me that part of your ocd is 'just right' and 'perfectionism' ocd so you need everything to be or feel just right to you anf if it doesnt you will spend a long time ruminating on it or doing something to try and make up for it

@Joe87 Exactly I controlled the data but my brain could not handle any more thoughts since 100% of the power was on controlling the data that could not get deleted so it came too quick and unexpected

@Joe87 Tommrow I have to go the school and check 3 different rooms to make sure it’s not lost because this amazing brain won’t stop wining

@Joe87 It did not help that most people without ocd are generally very ignorant and peices of shit when it comes to solving these issue and just blame the victim of ocd rather than trying to support that’s why I hate humans deeply and hate the idea of the internet benefits we’re not worth it I’d rather live in 1990

@scutodragon It doesn't sound silly at all btw so I hope you don't feel shame in talking about it as that is absolutely the first step to overcoming this. I will tell you that every single ritual that I do is to prevent me or a loved one from dying or getting a terrible disease which means that either I have that much hurt, trauma and grief me that it's too much for me to be able to listen to the logical part of my mind or it means that i actually believe that turning the light switch on and off 5 times or whatever other horrible rituals I feel I have to do genuinely keep me safe. The irony is that ocd basically is a horrible disease so the very thing that I think is keeping me safe is infact destroying me. Now if that doesn't sound silly then I don't know what does. Do you do any physical compulsions to prevent bad things from happening or to feel like you have control of something?

i dont know if its gonna get better

since february i have "POcd". Initial symptoms were thoughts, but then I did a testing compulsion during an intimate time, and I spiraled ever since. I struggle with addiction to smut. I'm cutting that out, but I feel as if it is too late. Ive never experienced this much mental, and emotional anguish in my life. On my time on this application I have given advice to others, and helped around, but I wonder if that even applies to me. Millions of times I wish I could turn back time and be more careful. I want to prevent many things, including what led me to spiral into OCD in the first place. I'm surely having an OCD episode. I have gotten a diagnosis, but I'm still not sure. I feel evil, cause unlike many here, I tested on my body sensations and it backfired (twice) I know I'm not supposed to figure out why that is the case, but now I have to live with it for the rest of my life even if its something I don't desire. This is disgusting for me, it is abhorrent. I could've never seen this coming. Day by day I've become more fearful of living with this, "OCD". I was a normal person before this, I knew what I was attracted to, I know my preferences, so why did this come about? This is singlehandedly the most painful thing that has happened to me and I have nobody but myself to blame. I am scared of death but I also would'nt mind sleeping for years on end. My parents and brother were understanding of my situation, but I failed them regardless. I don't want them to see me this way, nor do I want them to learn more of my predicament. I'm cooked. I know it, Fin, thats all folks. I'm only 20 and I already have other diagnosed mental illness so I recklessly brought upon myself another one. Its agonizing to live through, I wish this on nobody, not even my worst enemy. I can't even identify myself at this point. Its tearing me apart.

I’m tired

I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I’ve lost so much weight due to this mental illness. I sleep 18 hours a day to escape these thoughts. I grieve my old self so much. I miss crushing on men, I miss loving men, I miss dressing up nice and get compliments from men, I miss listening to music and daydream about my dream man. I miss wanting to get married and have my own kids with my dream husband. All of those things… I’ve desired them so much and I’ve daydreamed about them so much. My OCD is telling me that it’s all fake. I miss my old desire and love for men. I’m so tired of being alive. I’m so tired of seeing multiple posts where people who apparently suffered from SOOCD became their fears. I’m so tired. Cause y’all probably didn’t even have ocd in the first place idc. I will say it again, has it been someone with pocd or harm ocd and their obsessions/fears became true NONE of y’all would’ve had the same reaction. Stop normalizing soocd obsessions becoming true. It is someone’s worst nightmare. People are out here attempting because of it.
