OCS therapy

I'm starting my OCD therapy in two days and I'm nervous. I'm hoping this helps because my intrusive thoughts have returned with a severity after I experienced several losses within a week. My mind feels so heavy and the way this feels, feels different than the other times. Am I just not processing things which is making my thoughts worse? Probably, but I'm stuck. And I'm angry I'm having to go through all of this because of a medication that was supposed to help me. Does anyone else experience a kind of cloudy mind with intrusive thoughts and you feel unsure about everything?

hey there, i'm really sorry to hear about the tough time you're going through, especially with the losses and the impact on your ocd. it's totally understandable to feel nervous about starting therapy but also hopeful that it'll bring some relief. 🌱 it's rough feeling stuck and dealing with the frustration of things not going as planned with medication. you're not alone in feeling that cloudiness and uncertainty; it's a common struggle with ocd. since i'm dealing with a different ocd theme, i might not have all the right words for your specific situation, but i wanna share some tools that have helped 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, you might find the ocd reddit helpful for connecting with others who get what you're going through. hang in there. 💪

Thank you!! I do find reddit forums helpful, but I haven't found the kind of harm OCD or the kind of thoughts I'm having that others are experiencing. I may need to try different words searches. My thoughts make me feel like a bad person and a bad mom. Most days I just want to run away and hide. I will try the app! I'm so anxious and cautious about everything ever since my bad experience with Lexapro. I didn't have any of these thoughts or problems until I took it and now I feel lost. I'm fighting every day to get better. Thank you again for your reply. 🙂

Nothing feels right

What do you do when nothing feel right. Like for example I feel like everything triggers me, everything feels weird, sounds, actions, my room. I feel like i will go insane any second and I cant enjoy anything, I cant be happy about my upcoming new job or events. I have OCD about me having shizhophrenia and omg it has ruined my life, it has only been about 3 weeks, but it has got me complitely. I want my old self back and I am scared that my loved one will leave me bc i am not getting better. I really want a new theme as funny it sounds, because even 2 years ago harm OCD was't this hard. I feel like something in me is changing, but i dont want it 😭 I will start therapy in the end of August and I just started taking medication. But for now I cant imagine this stopping and I fear that it will go downhill from this, i cant see me doing better, because if i have a good day I rember how i felt yesterday or when I had a panic attack and I cant get enough of it, i always remember those feelings and I start to worry about it over and over again.

Anyone else drowning lately ?

I’ve been dealing with a terribly overwhelming bout of OCD for a few months now, possibly the worst I’ve ever had in my 12 years of having it; which is what led me here. I’ve always had doubts in my long term relationship, but none that have been quite this vicious, making me question my sense of safety with this sweet man who has ALWAYS made me feel safe and comfortable. It picks on every aspect of our relationship, and any moment it can to make me question if he’s actually secretly a bad person. This thing has a chokehold on me and it is so scary and debilitating, especially with it targeting something I care so deeply about. And now weeks into therapy, I almost feel that unpacking it is making me feel worse and my OCD is finding all sorts of new things to pick on. Any comforting words would be appreciated… I’m trying really hard to work through this.

OCD Flare Ups

Hi guys! Hope everyone is having a beautiful week. I did therapy with a therapist on here and it helped me hugely, I had next to no OCD symptoms for almost 8 months, but recently it’s been flaring up again. I am much better at handling intrusive thoughts and going on with my day but I just have this huge fear of it getting as bad as it was last year. I was unable to get out of bed for 3 months because the intrusive thoughts were so debilitating. I never went to feel that way again. Does anyone have tips on how they deal with OCD flare ups and how they bring themselves back down to a happy medium? Thank you all 🤍
