Hello y'all, a question about ocd
Has anyone ever experienced the phase of falling into depression because of ocd?
Has anyone ever experienced the phase of falling into depression because of ocd?
yes
Im so sorry to hear that... And if you're still in this phase, and couldn't get out of it, please dont forget to be kind to yourself everyday and try to push yourself to at least do your daily needs little by little, give yourself the love you deserve. Try to express more about your instrusive thoughts if it will make you feel better. Youre loved and valued. Please take care of yourself, Im here if you wanna talk about it or something else, can be whatever you want :) Remind yourself that youre not your thoughts ❤️
@sepsomeone thank you so much for this comment I really needed to hear this:( if u are going through the same im hear to talk about it. thank you again
@co140 Of course, I will leave positive reminders to you every day under this post if it can help :)❤️
I do
Im so sorry to hear that, I know you will get better at one point. Do you feel like your instrusive thoughts are getting you to the point that you dont want to do anything anymore? :( Try to get yourself to take care and do your basic needs like eating and taking shower by thinking that they eill make you feel much better in the end. Take it one at a time. Ask for help to your friends/family if youre comfortable... I believe in you, youre gonna get through it. Talk out your instrusive thoughts, get professional help if you can. Remember that youre loved and valued. You'll get through this.
Hi I had to join this conversation because this happens to me and although I have listened to a lot of podcasts, webinars etc this topic doesnt seem to come up. I have ROCD, before I knew what it was I was having anxiety attacks because of my thoughts of not loving my husband and having to tell him after 25 years of marriage this caused me episodes of depression (sometimes months) which I had therapy for; they never considered OCD. Fast forward ; I did tell him and I’m now in another relationship and it’s all happening again, but even though I know it’s ROCD when I think I don’t love him anymore the depression starts to creep in. I tell myself it’s ROCD and this helps the depression not take control but it still happens and lasts a days rather than months . 🙏🏻
Hello, youre so strong. I am about to turn 17 years old and I have instrusive thoughts in my relationship too. My mind tells me that he isnt my standards in every way and more things even though I have had always thought the opposite. I just question myself and I dont even Trust my own words, Im having instrusive thoughts as if Im not telling the truth. The more your thoughts pile up or the more a thought gets severe, it makes you dont want to do anything anymore right? Just reminder that your thoughts doesn't have to describe you as a person and the more you pay attention to them the more you get hurt. I know that youve fought this for so many years... Im so proud of you. Please always remind yourself that its a trick of your mind and your thoughts cant prove anything even if they try to, because you have the negative feeling against them in your heart which already proves them wrong before even they try to prove themselves to you. Keep reminding yourself that youre not your thoughts. The one thing I do when my thpughts get really serious is that, even if its not a permanent solution, I just let the thought sit and not respond to it. Like I dont make a connection with it if that makes sense. I hope this comment helps... When you feel like youre about fall in a depressive episode, please remind yourself that youre under your own control. If you dont feel like doing anything, please at least push yourself to do your daily needs Ms. Lalee, I hope this helps, keep fighting please
@sepsomeone Hi what lovely wise words from you at such a young age 🙏🏻 I met the love of my life at 17, he broke my heart and set the bench mark of what love should look like: so he has a part to play in my OCD. I’m so pleased that you understand OCD at your age, it’s so hard navigating relationships anyway but having undiagnosed OCD is soooo hard. Thanks again Lalee xx🙏🏻
@Lalee Thank you so much, and I am so pleased to hear you nice words, they make me happy 🙏🏼 You're one of the strongest people I met. Im so sorry about what you went through, I appreciate hearing about your story, means a lot. Relationships at a young age are probably the hardest, because both sides are trying to love while growing up. Another person's way of love shouldn't define your way of love or doesnt define how love should look like right? Thank you for your beautiful words again Much love September xx 🙏🏼
hey, i totally get where you're coming from. the cycle of ocd can be incredibly draining and it's not uncommon to feel like it's pulling you down into a darker place. you're not alone in feeling this way. 🖤 i'm actually dealing with a different ocd theme myself, but i've found some tools that really help. one of them is the "unstuck ocd therapy tools" app. it's got this ai-personalized guidance and exercises that can be super helpful when you're in the thick of it. my local ocd support group recommended it to me and it's been a game-changer. also, you might want to check out the ocd stories podcast. it's filled with insights and experiences that can make you feel less isolated in your struggle.
Thank you so much for your suggestions, Ill definetly give them a try. Don't stop trying, as you said you're not alone 🖤
@sepsomeone - You're welcome, and thank you as well! We are not alone in this<3
I actually have this app and it is genuinely such a game-changer for me when Im really struggling too, great rec
@PhillipFillip1 That's awesome to hear, Ill update here once I start using it too. Im glad it helped
How’s everyone’s depression from OCD? I’ve been having up and down days... But sometimes, i’m so tired of dealing with my phobias I become extremely depressed, wanting a way out. I can’t sleep, can’t eat (fear of food poisoning), sometimes don’t even want to leave the house. Anyone else feel TIRED of this?...
When the ocd feels real and like it won’t go away the depression is so hard to deal with. I don’t even want to get out of bed. How do people balance this?
Heyy guys, question out of the blue… is being scared of becoming depressed a thing? And therefor su*c*dal? Like I had su*c*dal ocd but it comes and goes but today I’m sick so I had to stay at home in bed and I just feel very tired ans my brain automatically linked that to depression… is preventing depression a thing? My OCD is manifesting in a lot of ways nowayds its sooo strange
