Hi guys, I was playing a video game tonight relaxing, when I forgot what I was thinking doing and then got anxiety because of not knowing my OCD? I hate anxiety it’s the worst! What should I do about forgetting and the anxiety?
i think i’ve dealt with that too and it’s most likely because we are too busy trying to fixate on what we are doing and thinking. it’s okay to not know!
@Godsgood Easier said than done! You know, just like I do! I just don’t know what to do!
@Perfect Imperfectionist it is, i hope i didn’t seem like i was belittling your situation or invalidating it but i do hope you feel better soon regarding this situation and others because it’s difficult to accept not knowing as the answer we all struggle to accept that and are trying to figure things out❤️
@Godsgood You’re good! I didn’t take offense to anything you said! ❤️ I couldn’t agree more! I hope you are doing well, and are at peace right now! God Bless you and yours!
@Perfect Imperfectionist thank you so much, God bless you too. I hope you are feeling better❣️❣️
@Godsgood I’m doing so so. Just had some more OCD and anxiety. Thought about this place again.
@Perfect Imperfectionist that’s understandable, it can be so up and down/a numbing feeling. im def feeling a spike but i know we can get past this❤️💪
@Godsgood Thank you for your positive words! Today has been a rough one for me! I just wonder why and how come I deserve this in my mind!
@Godsgood ❤️
@Perfect Imperfectionist dont believe that u deserve it or anything. we all just go through things but it doesn’t mean u deserve it. i’m happy that u got through this day despite the hardship, continue to remind yourself that you are able to get through days, even the ones that seem the hardest.
@Godsgood Thank you. I just think that in my mind. Why me? Not that you said that or anything you know? I try to be strong but it’s hard for sure! Today is definitely one of those days!
@Perfect Imperfectionist that’s very understandable it’s easy to question that with what we go through so i understand completely ❤️❤️
@Perfect Imperfectionist it’s okay even if you aren’t strong, just know that a lack of feeling strengthened doesn’t mean defeat.
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!
I have a genuine fear of playing video games due to my magical thinking OCD. It’s driving me crazy. I get this overwhelming sense of anxiety when I play them. I have a correlation between video games and a health thing that started around the time I was playing video games a lot. Now I feel like every time I play a game it’s gonna cause that problem to come back. Any suggestions on how to conquer this?
I got harassed in an online game (marvel rivals for anyone curious) today bc I was “playing bad.” I think they realized I’m a female player too (my username makes it obvious) so it gave them more fuel to harass me. I kinda threw the match after all the rudeness. I obsess a LOT over what my teammates think of me, whether I play well, and one negative interaction and I’m spiraling for a long time. I reported the rude players but now I’m too afraid to play again. I feel OCD makes it really hard to play online bc i’m constantly obsessing over my errors and sometimes can’t enjoy the game at all. I also obsess over winning, and it becomes addictive in a way. Anyone else relate?
