Please share thank u
Please share thank u
i do, i feel stupid and i feel guilty and it also comes with a lot of shame as it feels like i don’t deserve it and it feels like im hiding who i “truly” am like my intrusive thoughts and things, if that makes sense
@Elicambel Omg me too!
@Anonymous243 your not alone that’s for sure :)
Yes. I used to feel guilty for wanting to have long hair that’s why I always cut it to shoulder‘s length (so I don’t seduce men [OCD thought]). I felt guilty when I wore a dress. I felt guilty when I smiled at a man. Until someone told me it’s OCD.
@elliss2 How did u get better?
@Anonymous Hm, the key was that someone told me for the first time about the differences that our thoughts are not who we are etc. I went to a psychotherapist for the first time and found out not all thoughts are true And then I started therapy and did ERP etc. that helped👍
i do feel guilty about dressing up, i don’t know it makes me feel like i’m doing “too much.” it’s something i enjoy doing bc i love expressing myself but always get these thoughts someone will make fun of me or i will look totally stupid in front of everyone else it’s so lame
I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
i feel very, very guilty. i'm resisting the urge to confess right now. i don't think it's a good idea, but it's hard. i'm starting college in a bit and going to meet new people, see a new side of life... and it's been 3 years with ocd... i'm feeling very guilty about potentially hijacking my success by doing something that was fun in the moment but kind of dumb in restropect. :( sending hugs to everyone else struggling
Hi everyone! I just want to share that I’m having a really hard day, selfishly, to feel better. But some of you might relate to it. I’ve been obsessing about my looks and body image. I feel soo ugly, like almost deformed, “abnormal, ill” looking. Like I have never seen anyone that looked as ugly as me. And I spend hours checking myself and doing skincare and using face sculpting tools compulsively. I also feel VERY very alone partially due to this being isolating but also just being back at my (abusive) parents home for the summer. I feel very empty today like nothing makes me excited or matters. I feel like a disgusting, awkward, incapable, undeserving little creature. Like everybody else on this world is in a group chat,and im the only one left out lol. I went shopping today to feel something and ended up compulsively buying stuff and shocker, now im feeling 10x worse, more empty. But I am also stressed about the money and feel extremely guilty. I feel worthless. I guess i should just let me feel the emptiness and feelings that come up without trying to distract myself with something all the time. So yeah thats where I’m at today.
