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...
feel really down like i'll never be able to live my life i feel i'm never truly happy i just have to get by i feel stuck ive had loads of therapy cbt nothing will ever really help me 😞
I haven't been officially diagnosed with OCD but when I learned more about it, I never related to anything more. A little back story: when I was younger, there were a couple of youth suicides in my area and the schools felt the need to have someone come in and talk about suicide. Well the person they had come in did a horrible job teaching it and basically made it seem like the smallest negative emotion or feeling or change in behavior made you suicidal. This ended up scaring me so much that I got horrid anxiety. Fast forward to now, Everytime I feel anxiety and panic, I fear I'm going to kill myself. Everytime I feel down and depressed, I fear I'll end it all. I'm scared to be around anything sharp because the "What if" I hurt myself comes into my mind. There are always intrusive thoughts at almost every point of the day. And it's not only for me. Everytime I hear someone being negative, I fear they will be suicidal. I know in my heart that none of this is true but it's terrifying me that it's stuck around so much that it makes me scared that maybe it is true. I've had a lot of death in my family in the past year and a half and a lot of other family drama that I'd never had before that is now also bringing up existential intrusive thoughts. And I'd never questioned anything about life before but now I get the "why is life like this?" and "does anything we do matter?" and I hate it. I don't want to think like that. I just want to go through life being able to handle things normally again. It terrifies me even right now going "what if you give up?"
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.
