it does and this is something i’m learning to deal with is letting myself sit with the uncertainty and to NOT RUMINATE ! bc sometimes , the thoughts feel so REAL and i’m like oh my gosh no ! but we have to re wire our brains
i want you to know you’re not the only one !
@LifeIsBeautiful Thank you so much, every thought feels so real. It’s hard to believe this so etimes
I feel this, too.
I absolutely hear where you're coming from and understand how your OCD can generate these confusing thoughts and fears 😓. You're not alone in this struggle, many of us with OCD often find ourselves grappling with the same dilemma. Believe me, it's not easy, but it's part of our journey. Something that has been helpful for me in dealing with my OCD is this AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try). I found out about it from my OCD support group and honestly, I wish I had discovered it earlier! It's designed to provide personalized step-by-step support when OCD gets difficult, basically working as an OCD therapist. Given you're struggling with self-doubt, I believe it could be incredibly helpful for you because it can serve as a buffer against those intrusive thoughts and guide you through them. I’m here for you if you have any questions about the tool, or if you’d ever like to chat more about your experiences with OCD. 💪
@BiancaSawyer13 Thank you. I would love to talk. OCD just makes me question my entire identity. It feels like I will never get better
I’m worried that i will start believing the thoughts or act on them if I stop proving them wrong or fighting them. My life is like a loop now, I always get intrusive thoughts no matter what and all i do is ruminate and check how i feel about stuff so i’m not even a person of my own i’m just my ocd.. Any advice? 😰
I feel really lost in life, I don’t recognize my self, I’m 23 years old and about a year and a half ago my HARM OCD started and it’s all I think about all day, I have this weird feeling. I know it gets better because it got better about a year ago but this time it came back stronger, I don’t what to do, like I know I don’t want to become this person but my brain is telling me that I won’t get better and to not get therapy nor do anything to make it better because I am a bad person. I want a happy life without these thoughts. I have the most disturbing thoughts and I just feel sick all the time and I don’t know how I’m able to live like this. It’s been a month since it came back and I’ve been surviving somehow. I can’t even look someone in the eyes because my ocd will say that I wanna hurt them and I desire it but I DO NOT WANT TO BECOME THIS PERSON. I hope it gets better because I’m afraid going to hurt my self in order for my thought to end since it will be the only way to protect others.
What do you do when nothing feel right. Like for example I feel like everything triggers me, everything feels weird, sounds, actions, my room. I feel like i will go insane any second and I cant enjoy anything, I cant be happy about my upcoming new job or events. I have OCD about me having shizhophrenia and omg it has ruined my life, it has only been about 3 weeks, but it has got me complitely. I want my old self back and I am scared that my loved one will leave me bc i am not getting better. I really want a new theme as funny it sounds, because even 2 years ago harm OCD was't this hard. I feel like something in me is changing, but i dont want it 😠I will start therapy in the end of August and I just started taking medication. But for now I cant imagine this stopping and I fear that it will go downhill from this, i cant see me doing better, because if i have a good day I rember how i felt yesterday or when I had a panic attack and I cant get enough of it, i always remember those feelings and I start to worry about it over and over again.
