i feel oddly calm with the thoughts, though they still stress me out a bit but a lot less. i almost feel too comfortable. i also feel doomed, like even if i recover i will be someone i don’t wanna be.. like it’s becoming more than ocd
YEA. i feel calm but im also thinking that the reason im peaceful with my thoughts is because i dont want to hurt anymore so i let my thoughts be but also i let the compulsions be so that i can drag myself out of that depressed, scared state. But it only helps half way because i still feel hopeless while doing the compulsions, butttttt i dont show effort anymore. ik how u feel.. idk if ur experiencing something more than ocd or burnout
Totally get it, we might feel all this is our fault and all. But it’s never that way, we by no way can entirely control how we feel, especially when OCD is standing in the way. So feeling calm definitely does not mean we are bad or something, but that shows the non linear path of the disease itself, sometimes it might feel severe and sometimes controlled. It’s how it is, and how we react and hold up our true values despite all this drama of OCD is what matters, it’s never like we forcing ourselves to “feel” some way which will for sure backfire and work paradoxically. Hope it helps!!
@UH52 thank you for this bro, your completely right! i’ve been caught up on my feelings recently obsessing over what they mean
@ocdsucks👎 Oh I’m so glad it helped somewhat at least!! No matter what all we feel due to OCD, what we truly want and value is actually what matters, and not the ones OCD claims it to be!! ;)
i actually feel like i’m getting better. i don’t get the thoughts as much anymore because i realized that i know who i really am and these are just the thoughts that come with ocd. i feel like everything is getting better and i see a big difference
Don’t know if this is a part of ocd recovery or what but my hocd thoughts don’t give me anxiety anymore. Sometimes it feels like this tapped into my feelings. I don’t know how to explain it. Like when I get the thoughts now my mind is like “you’ve always been like that” but I feel no anxiety. I’m also regaining some attraction for the opposite sex and that feels great but at the same time my mind says I’m lying to myself and I get this weird feeling in my chest. Idk what this is.
nothing feels real right now? and i’m not anxious when the intrusive thoughts come. does this mean i am okay with them? or i agree with them? it feels like im changing.. i don’t want this
