My mind keeps going in circles and it’s so much to think about and I don’t know how to stop it and I’m all alone. I don’t have anyone I can go to and it’s hard for me to feel like anyone cares about me. Maybe my head is spiraling right now? It feels like it is 😭😭😭 I just want it to stoppppp it’s putting me in a fog and I’m so scared ):
Happens to me a lot. You have to remember that overthinking things and worrying can just make the situation worse. Take deep breaths and relax. Remember that you have people in your life and people care about you. Every human being in the world should be cared for. So take deep breaths and do some meditation. Stop overthinking or thinking ahead and live the present.
This is exactly how I’ve felt these past few days. Just remember that you’re not alone!! This entire app is full of people going through the exact same things that you are. Remember that your OCD will ALWAYS try to latch on to something that you’re afraid of or disgusted by. But, these thoughts are not a reflection of you at all. They’re meaningless.
I know exactly what you mean. Feeling alone and like you can’t really tell anyone how you feel. Feel free to reach out if you ever need it. OCD can be so draining sometimes I just can’t deal with it. 😭
Thank you I’m trying so hard 😓🥲 having somewhere to express it helps. Thank you! 🥰🫵🏾🥲
THANK YOU SO MUCH it just makes me so paranoid 😓🥲
Hey there, sorry this is going on, I know exactly how you are feeling. Meditation Really does help a lot, if you can do it and are able to calm yourself and relax, then just talk to yourself, shit out all the other thoughts for a minute and just focus on your voice, talk out loud, that's how I don't. I'll sit down, calm, quite room, low lights or dark and take a deep good hard breathe, exhale and just start talking. Example: "Ok, this is my time, no one else can have this moment. Today is going to be a good day, today I'm going to focus on (one certain thing you feel is a negative) overanalyzing everything and I'm going to slowly stop doing this. I don't need to worry about everything that everyone is doing or saying, I don't need to worry about every little thing or person in my life. Instead, I'm going to be selfish for a change, and I'm going to going to take a long hot shower and play my music and sing as loud as I can, the. I'm going to treat myself to a big, delicious breakfast. Maybe take a shirt walk and breathe in this beautiful day ahead! I'm going to oy think positively, if I start to spiral, I'm gonna loudly say out loud, NOPE, this is my day, so back to those good thoughts. Think about all the good things you have, all your blessing. Think about how grateful you are for all the little things and know that it can ALWAYS be worse. Keep repeating, today is gonna be a good day! Say a prayer if you believe in a higher power, and then take another long, hard deep breathe. Say out loud "Alright Lets get this day started!!!" Then get up, do a few small exercises, get your blood pumping and heart rate up, and you takeover that day girl!!!!!! If you start to go down , tell yourself, nope this is my day!!!! I promise, this reallh helped me. Relax, stay calm and tell yourself "I'm gonna be ok" Also I found that doing something that you enjoy will help you from the nonstop chatter. I love to cook, so once I get in the kitchen I'm focused on nothing except what I'm making, it's like taking a Valium, it relaxes me. And I also see a psychiatrist and that's a huge benefit as well 💜💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts lately and after a lot of research, I’ve learned to just let them happen. But now, I’m scared that since I’m not having anxiety or crying over it, it must mean that I like the thoughts or that I don’t find them bad. I know that this in itself is OCD. I haven’t been diagnosed with OCD, but I have been speaking to a specialist over email to set up an appointment. I don’t feel like myself anymore, my brain is so full of questions and thoughts that I can’t even figure out what they are. It feels so foggy and I feel so lost. Does anyone else ever feel this way? I’m all alone in this and I’m just so confused.
I am adding a trigger warning, but I’ll still be mindful to censor. So I guess I would say I’m in a relapse. I was doing well (I think). I wasn’t having intrusive thoughts and I overcame a really hard theme. So for a few months I was doing pretty okay. My living situation and relationship took a huge hit and I guess I couldn’t handle the pressure idk. Anyway, one day I was trying to sleep and I got this intrusive thought about losing my mind I guess. Not being able to identify anything, speak, ect. Just being a blank mind or something. (I know, doesn’t my one ounce of sense to me either) Anyway, this really scared me, triggered me so badly that one of my old themes that I truly thought I had overcame came back. Not only did it come back, it sent me spiraling ( still am). It feels so much worse this time. And I’m struggling to overcome it. This thought: “how do we understand words?” And then it’s spirals into other thoughts related to this, but I’ll leave it at this. I can’t cope, my mind is hyper fixated on every word, not just mine. I can no longer watch tv comfortably, listen to conversations, or even speak myself. It’s making me feel like “unaliving” myself. I feel extremely alone in this. Like as if I’m the only person in the world to ever think this or struggle with this kind of theme. Getting some feedback would be great, but I won’t hold my breath.
I’m so tired of thinking and thinking and finding new reasons to worry and new old memories to overthink and obsess about and moralize, it’s so exhausting and scary and it makes me distrust everyone around me and even myself. It’s like I everything and everyone needs to be questioned and interrogated and put into a good or bad bucket. I’m just so tired I don’t want to think anymore :( I want to turn my brain off.
