You will get through this and have a beautiful life don’t worry!
@Iloverowdy12 Hopefully is so guilty that I been wasting it but one thing is I didn’t pick ocd sadly
@Monii Nope none of is did it just the hand we were dealt with in this life I promise things will get better even if they don’t seem like that now
@Iloverowdy12 Hopefully the last 2 years I been stuck badly I need to get out of this ocd cycle
I always wonder if that one thought that started it all didn’t happen how alot of things would have been different it’s sad but we can do it
@hunnvenus Very sad and depressing why did we got picked to have this terrible disorder I meant people have worse things but still
Well I can tell you I've suffered with OCD since the age of 7.....I still remember my first intrusive thoughts like it was yesterday.....it turned my life on its head....not a day since has been OCD free, I was well past believing anything could really help .....I'm 58 and have been treated for the last year by an NOCD therapist, and my life is finally changing....for the first time I am starting to feel like I always should have, so I would say there is real hope for anyone with this illness.
@Garrett Maguire Me too since 7 I remember Exactly everything I remember getting thoughts that I was about to have a heart attack and going to my mom crying to help me and she used to said what’s wrong with you ? that’s no gonna happen but I still feel anxious nothing took that anxiety away since then I m 30 now and still suffer daily is a no ending bottle I always wish there’s was a magic fix for this is no fair we have to survive everyday and no live I m so happy for you that the therapist is helping you definitely needed it if you don’t mind asking what’s helping you therapy alone or with medication?
@Monii Therapy, I never found medication to really help me very much.
@Garrett Maguire That’s fantastic congratulations
This feels so real right now. Objectively I know I have so many great things in my life but I’m having the hardest time feeling gratitude or enjoyment for those things and it breaks my heart
@llm31 Yes is so hard being positive having gratitude while going through ocd is hard to enjoy life in general
I point I would make, is that I always felt that the problem, was the illness itself, that I had no control over it......but the truth is,... that it is our actions,....that keep the illness going, it only stays strong because we choose to continue with compulsions....which is within our control to stop.....not easy for sure, but we do have the power to take away OCDs control over our lives. It's that realisation and our willingness to act on it and nothing else I believe, that can make us better.
@Garrett Maguire Yes that is so true the compulsion are what ocd feed of i have so many compulsion that I didn’t even realize I had and is hard to cut them I m trying to cut them little by little because all at once cause bad anxiety and panic attack is so hard but it feel so much better when I don’t do a compulsion is all about staying strong how you said
Why everything I was once is gone? I had goals, I always been such an empathic and good person, I had so many plans in life and since ocd came to my life everything is gone, ocd has ruined everything in my life, I can’t see to find myself anymore. I hate my brain for making me think that I’m a bad person when I know I’m not. OCD really took everything away from me. I already have a lot in my plate for me to be dealing with this, it’s so unfair. I have never had it easy and now when my life was starting to get better I get OCD:(
They’re getting more intense.. My mind wonders if what i’m feeling is really OCD.. what if it’s not and i’m in denial? Why is my life like this, a constant loop of fears and stress holding me back. I just want to live. To be the kind boy everyone knows. To make and be a difference. There’s sometimes I wish I could stay asleep.. to rest for a while. To hibernate all these feelings away. But I know that’s not how it works. Each tear I shed is a reminder of the hell I live every day when I open my eyes. I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know why I am anymore. Please someone.. advice, words of positivity, something.. I feel so alone. I’m scared. I don’t know where else to go.
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
