Asking

@UH52 Does the "thing" that u think u did & ur scared of ever really happens ? 😭😭😭

@Anonymous Well most things that we anticipate might never happen in reality, and even if some does happen, it would be far more likely that we can deal with it that time with more ease and resources than we expected it to turn out, like we are unfortunately hardwired to imagine the worst in every case we fear off, like we are much more capable than we give ourselves credit for, so even if something terrible indeed happens, it would be far more manageable than we thought we could handle!! Always dealing with uncertainty is the problem here! And again, remember that it’s all just a moment in time that will pass anyway!!

@UH52 But what I've been thinking & not sure-ing of is so bad towards other people... Even deep down in my heart I was thinking It might be wrong. That's why I'm very scared if its real.

@Anonymous True, like thoughts might indeed feel completely real and straightforward because we are “thinking” it, but in reality there’s much more to it, thoughts are definitely not facts, so thinking a certain way especially automatically due to OCD, won’t make us bad, and that thoughts are not facts in any manner, it’s just an intrusive thing that keeps on coming in!!

@UH52 been needing this, tysm🫶🏻 have u recovered? If yes, I'd like to ask some advise to you🙏🏻

@Anonymous So happy to hear it helped. Like for me personally I don’t think so I have fully recovered and never know what OCD might bring next, but I have seen it all mostly from years, like I believe it’s an long journey for me as well! Still on it!! ;)

@UH52 I see ! Does it rlly took a long time to recover? 😭 I'm so tired of this

@Anonymous It’s completely understandable to feel hopeless, I myself even still now feel sometimes like I’m done and can’t take anymore, but that’s unfortunately how OCD works, progress is not often linear, I used to have intense distress times and even do now, and sometime nothing we do can help immediately, so often keeping an optimistic perspective has helped me a lot in times of distress, and rest, “time” will make it feel less stressful! Time is also a huge factor in healing, but often it’s way underrated. Anyway hope it helps!! :)

@Anonymous Wow, that’s one question that I have grappled with so long, what I have understood is most of our negative feelings and worries are not purely actual facts, like yes, there might be some real issues that’s triggering it, but mostly it’s been amplified negatively by OCD. So when rationally looking at it, all fears do have a trigger that’s often rooted in reality, but mostly it’s just blown up by irrational OCD thoughts and that’s what makes us feel terrible and helpless to the core!!

@dbm10 aww thank you! how long was ur recovery?

@Anonymous the thoughts started randomly one day and i had realized that everything bothering me was OCD. from that point forward it took me about a month to fully ground myself and confidently look in the mirror and know who i am and that my thoughts aren’t facts, it just takes a bunch of trying to clear your mind and positive thoughts. replacing the thoughts helps too.

@dbm10 tysm! I realized that my OCD was so draining my energy & time. I could think about it for an hour straight trying to remember if i really did embarassing thing or not. Sometimes I feel like I'm healed but the thoughts keeps haunting me literally. Please pray for me🫶🏻 I wish I could heal soon

@Anonymous i’ll pray for you! i’m the same sometimes. i’ll have to lay down just so i can pull my thoughts together and reassure myself. it’ll get better!

@Anonymous i am not christian, but i will pray for you!

@dbm10 awww tysmm ! 💗💗💗🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
