You must be exhausted. I've seen you post a lot. Please try nonengagement responses. I know it's hard, but you've felt this guilty for too long. All this guilt shows that you're a changed person. Nonengagement responses can be like "I don't need to think about this" "Maybe, maybe not" "I don't need to figure this out" Etc. please try it. It's hard but it helps :) I wish you the best
Something my counselor taught me was to tell myself “ I don’t need to think about this right this second, I’ll schedule and appointment with my self at blank time” and then that’s when I would sit down and address anything that I had thought about that bothered me earlier and usually by that point I had moved past it but it really has been helpful. Just an idea 👍 I hope you feel better soon
Oh man, that can be so exhausting! I'm sorry that happened to you. Remember to take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself when you're having a down day, give yourself some extra grace. Tomorrow is a new day, you got this!!
Suicidal Trigger words heads up----I hate hocd. I wish I never had it. I just want to forget about all of this and go back to the way things were before developing Hocd. My triggers are getting so bad atp it's convincing me I'm actually gay when I know I'm not. This is causing me so much anxiety and makeing me dizzy and makeing me have nausea the worst part is , is that it's my bfs birthday. I really love him so so much I wish I wasn't like this. I feel like this hocd is making me mentally, emotionally and physically ill. I just want to die. I just want to be normal and live my life without this and not be with such anxiety. I hope my baby has a good birthday. He still has no idea that ive bene feeling this way for months.
I’m spiralling this week. My mind feels like a catalogue flicking through chapters of my life and finding bits to pick on. I’m doubting lots of different actions or events over the years and worrying if these mean I’m a terrible person. I know this is ocd but the fact they actually happened is making it really really hard to deal with. Can’t wait for this episode to pass but already scared for the next flare up as this is happening more often. Any advice welcome 🙏
+18 TRIGGER WARNING I’ve been trying not to post as much on here, but it’s been a rough time facing these thoughts on my own. I’ve been trying to force myself to move on and not take my thoughts so seriously but it’s hard not to sit with them. Basically, to try to cope, I’ve been watching expose videos on internet drama and those who have been “cancelled”. Sometimes, though, it can just get to be too overwhelming as I start comparing myself with the people in these videos and I just want to cry because I’m just so disgusted with myself. I’m starting to question what’s real or not, if I’ve hurt people in the past or not, and separating my thoughts from my actions. I don’t trust myself anymore. I can’t find happiness in anything. I just keep pushing my friends and family away because every little thing triggers me. Sleep is the only time that I can find peace. Because then, I know that I’m not hurting anyone—including myself.
