OCD intrusive thought?

I am not educated that well with the different types of OCD. But being here opened me up to it all. I am struggling with intrusive thoughts and i can’t stop thinking of those thoughts until i physically feel ill or nauseous. I struggle with getting over things that has hurt me especially when I see the people who have hurt me the flashbacks always come. I am not sure if this is a form of OCD. I just can’t stop thinking of the certain thing and I feel as if I am self sabotaging myself when I have good things in-front of me because my intrusive overthinking thoughts will not stop.

hello hello!! first of all, it sounds like you are so on the right track with labeling and being mindful of how your ocd manifests and how it affects you. before i was diagnosed, and as i began my journey with therapy and ocd; my body would release stress and anxiety with a tightening of my chest, a fast heartbeat and nausea in the morning. every morning was the same: i would wake up with intrusive thoughts, a tight chest, a fast heartbeat and worst of all nausea. as you move through your thoughts, traumas and what not i promise you these somatic responses will diminish. for me, i realized it was my body reliving what i had experienced through my thoughts. once i realized this, i still had to move through these throughts and push to challenge myself through my healing journey. it’s only been a month since my official diagnosis, i no longer wake up feeling like my body is shaking or trying to tell me something. just remember to stay strong and focused, it does get better🫶🏼

to help me, i would make sure to structure my days, create a schedule to block out time in the morning to guide you through the tough wake up process that sometimes happens

hey there, really sorry to hear you're dealing with this right now. it sounds super tough, especially when your thoughts are causing you to feel physically ill and bringing back some painful memories. just remember, you're not alone in this, okay? 🙏 i was just wondering, have you heard of "unstuck"? it's an AI-based therapy tool for OCD (unstuckmyocd.com/try). it's actually helped me out quite a bit this past month, so it might be worth checking out for you too. another member on here is the one who put me onto it, and honestly i wish i had found out about it way sooner! 😊

Am i experiencing OCD?

Hi. my name is Ally, im 18 and im in my last year of high school. i've always been in and out of therapy, but I've never been able to get to the route of the problems i have. I constantly fear talking about things like this, but here i go. -horrible thoughts of things such as rape, pedophilia, beastiality and incest popping into my head randomly (NOT URGES !!!!) and coming up in my dreams. -expecting the worst outcomes -believing that my actions control what will happen next in my life (if i dont do this specific thing, i will die or someone in my family will die) -intrusive thoughts and dreams that feel so real i believe it actually happened. i dont mean to intrude, this is a very safe space for people who suffer with OCD. i just feel i have no where else to turn. does this sound like ocd? something else? please if you can, i cant live thinking and feeling this way anymore, please help me.

Why is my ocd making me think about it constantly.

Does anyone else's OCD make them think about horrible things all the time. I feel like I'm constantly having horrible intrusive thoughts 24/7 and I can't even sleep without seeing horrible images when I close my eyes. I feel like a monster because their are times where it feels like I like the thoughts even though I'm absolutely appaled by them 24/7 and they literally make me feel nauseous because of the absolute disgust I feel by them. Its just so painful because I'm constantly being attacked in my own mind all the time. Does anyone have good coping mechanisms to deal with this? I just want to be able to have peace in my mind once in awhile

Hi guys! I believe I have an OCD since I was around 12. I remember then I had a lot of intrusive thoughts about religious things and I had a counting compulsion (I thought that If I don't count to 8 in specific moments, someone gets hurt) During later years it was really changing - I stopped being religious, so the OCD theme also stopped. Then I had I reckon SOCD, harm OCD and many others. But for know my main topic is ROCD. But because of the fact that this is my main intrusive thoughts topic I start to have this awful thoughts that this is not OCD, I'm just with the wrong person and I need to accept this fact. This is really struggling for me, because i really love my bf and Im in the healthy realtionship but Im so tired of having this kind of thoughts, sometimes I cannot sleep because of them. Also the fact that I've never been diagnosed (I cannot go on theraphy right now unfortunately) is another trigger because I have thoughts that I dont really have OCD, I just making this up, because I cannot accept the truth. Is there someone with similar experiance? Or maybe someone who can have advice for me?
