I started experiencing SO-OCD all of a sudden and was terrified, so I decided to look up what I was experiencing and lo and behold 🥁 it was OCD. Then I realized that I’ve had it as a child but had no idea.
:0 thank U for sharing 🙏 that must have been a shock and a half 😲 ❤️
When I searched online why I have these kind of thoughts then I got videos of a person who posts videos on OCD his name is Nathan Peterson
ooh I watch Nathan Peterson on YouTube 😊 he's got a great attitude I think ^^ thank U for sharing with us ❤️
A therapist introduced me to the pureochrissie's account, and from then I just related and related..
oh thank u 🙏 I'll have a look at purochrissie 😊
In 2020,thanks to Google, I was debating with myself if it's GAD or OCD, turned out it was OCD all along
aaah I can relate, I was diagnosed with SAD but they though it could be OCD 😅 brains are funny like that
As a kid I had strange thoughts that scared me, so I researched and found OCD asked my school counselor if she thought I had it. She said no because I didn’t do any compulsions like cleaning, but that she definitely thought I had intrusive thoughts. I didn’t go to her after that, and after years of looking for therapy, I was finally diagnosed in about five minutes after I told them my symptoms. The reason the school counselor didn’t see my compulsions were because they were all mental compulsions and she didn’t think that mental compulsions were a thing. I knew for years that I had it, but it took years for someone to listen to me.
🤗✨ aww yeah it can be so frustrating dealing with people who don't fully understand the depth of mental conditions. I'm so happy for you that you found a place to get properly diagnosed 🙏❤️
I actually figured out because I had this panic attack that lasted for days. I was sent to emergency. People there started saying that this sounds like intrusive thoughts. As it was such a common term I did not think I was like a real “disease”. I looked up the thoughts I had and came to a site that had examples of rocd thoughts and I felt like this is me. I listened to the podcast fearcast and then it all made sense that this is ocd!
oh wow that sounds like an awful experience 😔 but I'm proud of you for doing the research and figuring it out 💪😤 ✨
A friend introduced me to a musician called NF. I listened to his stuff and we both kinda filled in the gaps I was searching for for years. I thought I had a lot of things growing up but nothing quite fit like ocd. Got therapy and was diagnosed quickly
thank U for sharing Wolfram 🙏😊 I know this artist 😄
Sought perfection in life from about the age of 13 and avoided a lot as a result of it. Looking back it was an attempt to gain certainty around not being socially anxious, being at my best socially etc. - It then developed and developed, but because of the nature of OCD, I was in complete denial: 'Just this next week, I'll go over the last of my thoughts and then I can finally stop holding myself back' - The final week I tried to do this, I got stuck on a horrible intrusive thought around a disgusting video I watched 2 years ago. It was the thought spiral of justifying that I'd fully watched it so I would know I didn't have to watch it again that made my life fall apart: I incorrectly believed that I had to resolve this dilemma, or the next time I went into work I would be terrible socially (and since I was trying to move on from it all, thought I would be stuck like this forever). Cue blind panic, where I forced myself to watch this horrific video again just to get rid of the potential ambiguity and uncertainty, which led to more compulsions and more compulsions until I was struggling like I'd never struggled before. Then I couldn't deny it anymore and got professional help.
I was always fearful of becoming sick with a disease when I was older in high school. I was constantly worried about things I may have done while drinking and not remembering. Then constantly checking things in the dorms in college to make sure no one was putting something in places that would be there to harm me. Checking once wasn’t enough. I checked something over and over again even when I could visibly see nothing was there. I knew it was absolutely ocd at that point In college when I couldn’t feel ok with just checking something once. So I went to a therapist and then eventually started medication so I was never diagnosed by a doctor officially but knew it was OCD when I looked at all of the symptoms I had and after speaking with my therapist she agreed it was OCD like I had thought. Funny story is that I guess my first “ritual” started in middle school when I started to count the deodorant strokes underneath each armpit. lol. I still do that to this day but it doesn’t debilitate my life. I just do a certain amount of strokes because I feel smelly if I don’t use that amount lol.
Started to refuse to eat because I was convinced it would make me puke. My uncle has it so my mom knew exactly what it was. Then later this year I got diagnosed with depression and am in therapy again. I have ADHD and suspected autism but thank you for asking❤️
I watched a video about this girl with OCD it was from Special Books by Special kids
Hey guys, I hope you’re well! My names Matt, and OCD has struck me again 😂 When I was 10 years old I had to attend therapy as I was having excessive intrusive thoughts. P.s. I didn’t even know this was possible at the age of 10! I then completely forgot about it, until 2.5 years ago when I started experiencing ROCD. I really couldn’t understand why I was feeling/thinking this way however, I soon after remembered my struggles as a child and then realised my OCD had returned. Also, my mum has serious OCD so I guess that could be why too. I had a a really hard battle with my emotions and mood due to this however, the last 1.5 years had been really good and I managed it well. I got married and had the best day of my life. 3 months ago, a thought about having an affair in my head appeared, and BOOM, it’s back again. I’m struggling a lot right now however, I’ve accepted that this could be a re occurring theme throughout my life, and it’s time to learn to deal with it again. I’m back on medication and have started ERP therapy, so hopefully it’s on the up from here. I’m not here to list off my triggers and thoughts as this would be me seeking reassurance however, I’m here to show that recovery is certainly possible!
Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
