I believe in you, you will get through this too ❤️
@sepsomeone Thank you 😊♥️
@MelissaArrowood Youre always welcome 🥰♥️
I’m newly diagnosed and it seems like that’s our goal…to learn to live with uncertainty. Do you want to say more? It’s okay to be having a hard time. You’re human. It’s okay to not be okay. And we’re working on feeling better, on figuring this out.
@JediMJ I’m having a really hard day for some reason. I’m thankful for everyone on here. They know just how to make you feel better because they know what you’re going through 😊♥️
Same. Been having a hard time. Hang in there!
Leaning into uncertainty is the only way to get better in the long run. It’s hard I know but you can do it
I feel like every day I try to sit with uncertainty, but it just feels never ending. Like I receive a little bit of hope and get to the top of one hill and feel like things may get better in a while, there's another hill right in front of me that feels more frightening. It's really frustrating. I know it's the nature of this disorder but ughhhhh
I’m trying to live with uncertainty but it doesn’t feel right. The “I may or may not be bi/gay” really sucks because I can’t stop ruminating, analyzing, or checking. This especially sucks because I feel like literally EVERYTHING in my life leads to the fact that I’m a fraud which feels horrible. I can’t even talk to my friends the way I used to without feeling like I’m lying about myself. The false attraction and loss of attraction to men is literally horrible because now I feel like the life i fantasized for myself isn’t something I want.
Hi All, just wondering if anyone here has any tips with dealing with uncertainty? My OCD centres on my being worried that I have committed a crime and can’t remember doing so, I was out last weekend and my mind is telling me I attacked somebody as I got an intrusive thought to do so when passing them in a bar, my therapist says I need to sit with the uncertainty that maybe I did and maybe I didn’t and have to be ok with that But if the answer is yes then how can I be ok with committing a crime and going to jail??, it’s affecting my relationship and I’m going on holiday on Friday and I’m worried it will ruin that, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
