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 🙏🏼
I struggle with rocd, and a big intrusive thought that I have is that I’m no longer in love with my partner. I am going through a depression right now, and I am struggling to feel any kind of passion towards anything at the moment. I am withdrawing from the people I love because I just feel like I want to be alone. When I’m with people I just feel exhausted by it. I guess my question is, has anyone ever felt like this from depression? Does it take feelings of love and attraction away? I can’t tell if this is my ocd or depression or a combination of both. But it’s starting to impact my relationship which makes me panic because losing it is my worst fear.
Can OCD mimic depression? With this theme I’m always wondering if I have OCD or depression. It first started out as harm OCD and now this. Today I told myself if I did have depression then it’s treatable and I would work on it. Then I started to feel depressed and emotional and like had an urge to google the difference. When I did this I just broke down because I felt like I related to them, it made me worse. However when I look up OCD symptoms it makes me feel better. So now I’m unsure. Almost like OCD wants me to believe it’s depression
Hello everyone. I often get the feeling that I will go crazy or in a state of permanent suffering. The thought is very persistent and I think is OCD repeating that disturbing thought. If anyone feels the same way. What do you do about it?
