I have SO-OCD and I’ve been doing really well and making progress but I’m tired of the repetitive thoughts some are truthful and some aren’t I have more that aren’t or a truth that is being twisted around. Anybody have any good ways to stop the repetitive thoughts?
That’s happening to me a lot rn, cause when I look at myself and feel- it is the truth that I’m straight but it tends to repeat. Before I never had repeating thoughts that I’m straight- i just knew I was. But because of ocd- it feels false like I’m trying to prove smth
@Acrasia Right and this is what comfortable being and happy being it's just unnecessary and annoying
hey, it's really awesome to hear about the progress you've been making with your so-ocd. i get how exhausting those repetitive thoughts can be, especially when they twist around like that. 🌀 i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, but we're all in this together, right? i wanted to share something that's been a game-changer for me. there's this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools" that my local ocd support group recommended. it's pretty cool because it gives you ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. also, have you ever checked out the ocd stories podcast? it's been a great way for me to feel less alone and get some new perspectives. hope this helps a bit! 🌟
@LoriGarner12 No I've never heard of the ocd podcast is there a specific name for it
@AmandaB345 - what i mean is that it's an app called "unstuck: AI OCD therapy tool," it helps manage compulsions and eases with anxiety as it walks you through it. i hope u can try it and see if it would help youu.
@LoriGarner12 Yes, I downloaded it!! Thank you!!
What do you mean some are truthful?
@Perzibal Like some with say I'm straight and thats the truth just repeats sometimes a lot
Does anybody struggle with POCD? I’m putting things into place lately to let my thoughts be there and not having to listen to them and I do admit I feel a little better and the thoughts are less and anxiety it less when I’m around people but there’s an urge in the back of my mind to ‘make sure’ and to think and analyse about things just to ‘check’ I definitely know for certain that this isn’t true, this is making recovery quite hard! Any tips please? Also I find sometimes reading things on google can be unhelpful and disheartening, which I need to stop doing! Thanks for reading ?
To my peeps with suicidal ocd... How do you let the thoughts be?? I find myself saying I don't need to figure it out yet ruminating on it all the same moments later. How do I let it go, OR how do I stop letting it rule my life like it has for the past year? And also, is it helpful to have the same routine every time the thought pops in your head, like the same thoughts or something?? It's been hard, but I'm still here, and I don't plan on going anywhere, but I would like to feel better, calmer, happier and less worried, I guess. If anyone could share their own tips with me, that would be great.
Do you have any tips to help me redirect my thoughts & actions?
