Soo I’ve been struggling with this as well, I keep going to the hospital because I think my liver is failing constantly because I rely on alcohol to go to bed, I finally got my liver ultrasound and organs all checked and everything is fine, last night I fell just to get out of work because I felt “dizzy and wasn’t feeling good” I started worrying about mental health and went to the walk in again, I can’t even go to dinner with my gf anymore because of my OCD, last night I went out to have food and I completely lost it I wanted to leave ASAP, now I’m worrying about my brain health and wondering if everything is right in my head, OCD sucks, but I awake everyday but struggle everyday with the same thoughts, I’m right here with you
I’ve had health ocd since I was sexually abused as a child, it has almost always been focused around fear of getting hiv and it really makes life difficult. I’ve made it to my healthiest relationship ever with someone who is great and I have done so many hiv tests to make sure I don’t have it and haven’t passed it to him but i can never be 100% sure about it I always think maybe results are wrong somehow. The last five months have been hell because I had a possible exposure to blood and I’ve been freaking out doing lots of tests googling on a loop having panick attacks that made me have to leave work … it is being really difficult because it just makes me feel like I could hurt someone that is so great so much, that is my biggest fear. With all of the testing I’ve done the only possibility that I could have hiv but all of my tests are negative is that I have last stage cancer and maybe that could false my results in some way and (of course) I now think I may have hiv + last stage cancer. This illness is really debilitating but I believe I will get better and so will you, hope you are doing better ❤️
Last year during April I started to experience groinal responses when I looked at kids. I was terrified of what it could mean and decided to attempt two weeks later. The very next day I had those responses I decided to attempt. I didn’t really have the courage to do so at that time but I started experiencing images about disturbing things done to kids and as days went by it got worse. April 16 was the last straw and I couldn’t take it anymore. I ended up in a mental hospital but before I ended up there I had searched up what I was experiencing. That’s when I started to understand that it was OCD. I felt relieved for a few moments until I felt the urge to get more information. I saw lots and lots of things and many comments saying that it wasn’t normal and that people who went through this were disgusting people who shouldn’t be allowed to roam free. That’s when my anxiety and fear became worse and I tried to get rid of it but nothing worked. I shook the entire time I was awake, I didn’t have motivation for anything anymore, I just felt so disgusting. In the end, I’m so glad I ended up in that mental hospital or else I wouldn’t be here with my friends and family. Thank you for reading my story, I’m so glad that I’m not alone
i’m back in a cycle of having harm related OCD thoughts and feelings and urges and i get these episodes where it’s like i’m disassociating and feel like i’m about to snap and go crazy violent. does anyone else experience this? i need help
Anyone else struggle with somatic OCD and any pain/feeling slightly different is so noticeable and you feel like you’re just going to collapse or something? Like my ocd always convinces me that any sort of pain is related to some kind of illness that can cause a bad outcome or even death. If so, please share your tips of how to improve with this type of ocd 😭
