I believe it means something like... There are many paths in life but people with ocd tend to take the same one, whether it's good or bad and go around in circles. We do this because we are scared something will happen if we don't take this path even if we've taken it a million times before. People who don't have ocd are able to take other paths with less fear. The path I'm talking about are compulsions, and all of them together are neuropathways. We tend to take the same one which is our fight, flight or freeze response. It's a brain glitch and the way you undo it is to be brave enough to step into the unknown and take new paths. Erp is designed to help you do this

@Wolfram This helped me understand so much !! And I figured so. Giving into OCD made me reflect on all the months I lost my life to this disorder and how much of it id like to regain back using therapy.

Hi! I would like to know as well, I wonder if it has to do with cutting people out your life or not being able to relate. If someone knows explain please 💕

@MIOK1102 Would still choose it over OCD any day you do know how hard it is my ocd is really severe to the point where I can’t function it sucks always being the mentaly insane one and to always be the angry one while everyone else is happy It also sucks in Uni to see yourself getting the same grades at some who is not trying but because of how bad your OCD is you can’t get the same grades Treatments have all failed for me You have both but if I had to choose I would rather have diabetes Than the menace and cancer that is ocd I had lots of white hair at age 17 it was so much stress

I personally believe it means that your obsessions become too overwhelming to the point where you feel trapped inside of them. Like your world is slowly crushing you into your OCD. This disorder sucks, but we could always get through it. It’s just really tough

Does it mean that you’re avoiding things and doing things you love because of it. Which makes your life smaller

OCD
When I hear the others might think that they could also have ocd when I tell them I could have it or they want to say they have it after I’ve got diagnosed with, without knowing how I feel it is like why do I always have to have something and then they say they also might have it are they supporting, joking or what?

Are we mentally disabled?
I know that sounds a bit harsh, but people with OCD think very differently then everyone else and we do strange things. I used to think OCD was just that we overthink to much and have compulsions to fix it, but its kinda alot more than that i realise. Like peoples lives are legit debilitated from this thing. Thats serious and i dont think others realise that. Mabye im concerned too much idk.

Is OCD basically thoughts that are stuck?
Another way to describe it is a loss of ability to let uncomfortable thoughts flow through our minds. It's like a fire alarm going off in our heads and an urgency to work out what these thoughts mean and what we can do about them and it's the exact reason why going to talk therapy is the worst thing that someone with OCD can do.
