I’m soo stuck and that’s the only way I’ve been feeling for over a year. Just stuck. I can’t even deal with myself anymore my intrusive thoughts keeps winning more and more I feel like they’ll eventually defeat me. There’s no words that can help I just feel like it’s over even if it’s not. I’m soo scared inside and out
So sorry you are feeling this way. What have you tried so far with ocd?
@OCDFamily Meditation but it doesn’t help
@Tramaine There is a great book Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts, there are videos, there is nocd therapy.
Try meditation.... Just practice it every day...
@Have Some Chocolate 🍫 I have it just doesn’t help
@Tramaine Thoughts will still come... Meditation won't stop the thoughts.... But you gotta do is just let the thoughts go as they come & not engage with themselves in any way... Think like... When you are in meditation your in a pure state that even if bad thoughts come they just don't mean anything to you... Or tell anything about you because now ur in a pure state... Just try to do it like this... And trust me the less you will engage with the thoughts the less they will appear And eventually they will not come as much anymore... This is how my intrusive thoughts got in control... I just don't engage myself with them anymore thus they don't come much like before if they come i just let it go.... Though i didn't do meditation... I just didn't give air to my thoughts anymore because i was tired giving them any more air... I can't do meditation because i have ADHD too... So it's very hard to do meditation...
I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless
My mind just starts racing with thoughts all day. I overthink aswell so I just tend to sit in the thoughts and can’t escape. I mostly have thoughts that tell me I don’t like the things I do like snowboarding or backpacking or if I even if I love my girlfriend. Deep down I know I do but then I start getting worried that the more I think these things the more they come true. Then I have tons and tons of more thoughts throughout the day and it just feels like I’m constantly having anxiety and constantly battling my brain over things that don’t even make sense. I’m only 17 and this is extremely hard and I feel like I’m wasting these teenage years. I don’t know what to do or where to go. I’ve picked up reading my bible and praying more but the thoughts persist please help.
