Ocd can feel like a trap you can’t escape from. As some who has had pure ocd for a long time I would recommend you try hanging out with a friend or do something that makes you happy and push though the ocd and do what ever you would be doing if you were not having ocd thoughts anyway. I know ocd can be scary and stressful but if you stop doing things it will only get worse trust me. The only way to not feel trapped by ocd is to just live you’re life anyway. Ocd is hard and sometimes you will get stuck in it but please try pull yourself out by pushing though it. You can go it , stay strong

@DennisDB I am glad you are doing better , I don’t drink a lot because I am worry I would end using it as an escape for my anxiety and depression and always what to be drinking. I got drank one time and really like the feeling not have the fear from my ocd , and I liked it way to much like I wanted to drink again right away . I stoped myself. I don’t know if it’s normal for people with OCD to have habits that they want to keep doing things over and over again but I’m the kind of person that once I start using Chapstick I just want to keep using it like 59 times a day or something ridiculous.  I don’t know it’s like you can easily get addicted to stuff.

Oh yes it's normal I obsessed over using beard oil! What scent to wear or how many bottles I have OCD affect all aspects of life even the most insignificant thing

I don’t know what’s wrong
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

I’m sick and tired of this .
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
