Mood swings and ocd
Does anyone else have super intense mood swings???? I’m starting to notice that I have a lot of bpd symptoms along with this one but I’m not sure what it is. Can anyone relate?

Yep I can relate one minute I’m hugging my mom the next we are fighting but the same thing goes for her one minutes she is hugging the next she is fighting this is a normal thing for people to experience if you think you maybe have BPD please contact a doctor or therapist to get diagnosed though! Medication can help to much! But BPD has the same symptoms as OCD sometimes so it could just be that!
@KateFart23 Totally! I will look into talking to a doctor. Thank you so much ❤️
@m3&myocd🐢 Anytime:)
I feel this. I just took a shower and through the course of it, I couldn't stop having intense bouts of crying and hopelessness. The next minute, though, I'd snap out of it and feel like I was about to be totally fine. Then I'd feel extreme hopelessness again and would completely collapse and cry so hard for a few minutes, frozen like I had lost the battle. My therapist keeps stressing to me how important it is to remind yourself that times like that are just MOMENTS, and moments END. I tell myself that I need to get through it not for me, but for a future version of myself who will be happy and thankful that I was able to do it for them.
@Jersey Jayne This is exactly whats been happening to me these past few days! Its really hard to remind myself that those moments end, but it is crucial. Thank you for the advice ❤️❤️
I know this is insane but please, PLEASE hear me out. I just need someone to tell me they relate in some way or something. Does anyone else feel like they have some sort of 'magic' that they accidentally manifested from 'wishing' too hard during a traumatic time and can't feel like you can control it now, which is pretty anxiety inducing since it feels like it would make people be able to feel or see your ocd thoughts? Or use your muscle tensing as part of your ocd? Like if you have an intrusive thought while tensing a muscle, you feel like it's going to come true so you have to 'correct' it by thinking a good thought then tense your muscles again? Because I have both of them. :(
Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
