I get it
It’s nothing short of hell
Sounds like you are letting your ocd win. Remember, it can NEVER make you do anything you don't want to do. You do compulsions because you want to. Ocd might whisper in your ear and and highly suggest you do them but in the end it can't make you do anything. It's impossible. Ocd has NO control.
People don’t understand this. They say to “trust your gut” and “you know what you feel” but you can’t and you don’t. You truly don’t have a gut or intuition. You don’t know what’s real feelings and what’s fake. You don’t know what thoughts are real and what are fake. And I think that’s the hardest part. Ocd convinces you that you are the worst version of yourself. It’s a 24/7 internal bully that you can’t turn off.
Maybe death is the cure I have white hair at 17 because of this disorder I’ve reached my limit with life and want to end it for good
i totally hear you, this illness puts us on a rollercoaster of such overpowering emotions 😔 it's tough dealing with that guilt and feeling out of control, and i want you to know you're not alone in this, we're all in this messy struggle together. have you heard of "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try)? it's an ai therapy tool specifically for ocd, kinda like our own virtual guide. this past month, it's been really helping me navigate through my ocd and it might be worth a shot for you too 👍 another dude in the forum pointed me towards it, and i just wish i knew about it sooner!
even though my therapist told me i have ocd i still feel like i’m not like “ocd” enough… especially cause some days it is better and some days it is worse 😔 and even though my therapist told me i have it i’m not diagnosed so i just stress about it ❌❌ i just want my brain to turn off i realized i have had a lot of ocd symptoms since i was a child so it just sucks and what if i don’t have ocd and there is nothing wrong and i’m just like this 🤔🤔🤔
Ocd is just so exhausting.. i ahte myself and im just so disgusted by the way i am .
im not diagnosed, but these past two days have been terrible. i constantly have this underlying feeling that i might do something that i think is gross and i feel like i can’t do anything on my own because otherwise i might do something wrong. like i feel like i constantly have to be in front of people so that i can make sure of my every action. this is so exhausting and I’m so confused. and like i keep getting terrible images and stuff replaying in my head. i also try to recall what happened but i feel like i have false event too. i used to have religious ocd and that eventually stopped completely, but now it feels like all my work getting over that was pointless. also like i feel like i might have contamination ocd but not the typical germ type. I just get terrible images and I can’t remember if those images are true or not even though they’re impossible and i feel terrible. I don’t know if i could ever get over this because even the thought of it is terrible.
