pocd is truly hell. ocd can make you go crazy. can mess with your thoughts and can fully make you believe you are an abuser or a monster. it is debilitating and it is nothing but horror. i am not scared of the so called place "hell", because i have been through it with pocd. identity crisis. gradual loss of sanity. i just want you to know, you are not the person who your brain tells you are. you are a human being. i know it feels surreal to imagine a reality where you actually realize that your mind actually lies to you and the truth has nothing to do with what it tells/dictates you, you actually feel a bit relieved. my dear friend, your brain and your thoughts do not define who you are and have never defined. you deserve respect and love just because you are here, a human, child of god, carrying a spark of divine in you. you are so very worthy. i recommend following @obsessively_anxious on instagram, her posts make me feel so seen and validated! i see you and i love you my dear friend, and i know the pain, the horror and the terror that your thoughts create in your mind, but i just want you to know that it lies to you and it does not align with the truth.
@queend This genuinely brought tears to my eyes, i needed this. Thank you so much, you are a kind soul. š„¹ā¤ļø
Iām going through the same thing. Iām exhausted. But it really has helped me to realise that we need to accept the feelings and float on through. I may have already mentioned but if youāre really struggling try ALI GREYMOND on YouTube. Sheās phenomenal and made such a MASSIVE difference in my life. I still struggle a lot with POCD, but I can now leave the house and have a better understanding of myself āŗļø we are all here for you. You can do this xx
I feel like Iāve lost my identity and I donāt even know who I am anymore. My OCD is saying Iām not a woman but I hate that. And I fear that it isnāt OCD, and that I just genuinely am trans or gender fluid or something. I just canāt accept that no matter how hard I try. All I want is to feel like myself again. Pronouns are a trigger for me and theyāre literally EVERYWHERE. Itās just so difficult. In a way, I miss having harm OCD or existential OCD or even health OCD because atleast I was still me. But it isnāt fair to say that because as I was going through them, they were awful. The grass is always greener I guess. Iām just feeling a little bit hopeless and alone, because I donāt think āgender questioningā is a very common theme.
I feel like no one knows the real me, I dont even know the real me anymore. OCD has been my identity for so long I always wonder who the f would I be without it. My thoughts and opinions change so rapidly I dont know if their my own anymore. My moods and emotions are so up and down I'm wondering what's the real way that I feel. Have I just been lying all my life.
At what point do you actually start feeling like you ARENāT that person when youāre trying to heal from POCD? Im still dealing with the thoughts and I just want to not FEEL like itās the who I am anymore. Thatās literally all I need rn.
