I think I might start panicking or something man…..it’s been a while since I actually started to become worried a lot over intrusive thoughts. I planned on doing homework for my summer classes today but I can’t seem to right now. I can’t concentrate. goooossshhhh I hate this
I know how you feel. You need to take a break. Do something that you enjoy just for a little bit and then see how you feel after. You mind and body need a break so do something that you want to do and enjoy like watch an episode or a YouTube video play an hour of video games and then come back to your work and see if you are ready and if you are not that is okay.
@Tootie54! I feel like I’ve already taken a good enough break. I haven’t started my work and was going to after playing some game (wasn’t rlly playing, just making up characters) but that’s when I started to think & now it’s just dog water. also, these online classes are fast paced because they’re summer classes. I don’t want to fall behind again. I’ve already failed classes & dropped some. I want to prevent this from happening again
@Tootie54! but it just suckssss right now man
Hi, I am 20 years old and in the start of this year I was not that good, I was in the university doing Architecture wich i did not like that much and I was not that happy I believe at least as much as I am now. Now when I feel like I need to do something I try to plan doing it even my head telling me to do it or not (refering to study) and if the time to do it arrives and I can’t do it it is no problem if it is not something that has a certain time to do. We need to be less mean to ourselves, enjoy time with the everything and everyone you love and can be with and do things you like, you will win this battle and something that helps me is praying and working on my faith on God, everything will be alright! I am here if you need me! Sending hugs may God bless you 😁❤️🙏
the thoughts are getting MUCH worse i need help someone please help me i don't know what to do. before it used to be different in the 5th grade but over the past 2 years it changed forms. no one knows about these thoughts. i cant bring myself to tell a trusted adult. i just need help i keep getting attacked with these thoughts.
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me
My last and almost life long theme/sub-theme largely subsided recently and my ocd felt like it wasn’t even an issue. Then I went on winter break from uni and being alone made my mind come up with a whole new topic to obsess over. TLDR on my fears, my advisor wouldn’t email me back for a while about signing up for classes so my mind started to worry “what if he doesn’t in time and you can’t enroll this semester and you lose this whole life you just built and all these new friends” So when that issue was resolved my mind found other scarier ways I could be uprooted from my current life and friends that I’ve grown so attached to. Then my mind remembered back when I was struggling with false memories and scrupulosity and I essentially made a post on a forum 2 and a half years ago saying I did something or was convinced I did something that I never actually did. Now I’ve been spiraling about someone finding it reporting me and I either get seen as a horrible person or arrested or something over something I never actually did but “admitted” to out of fear of going to hell. My mind won’t let it go and keeps finding new reasons for it to be “valid” “logical” or even inevitable. I feel like it’s just hanging over my head and I can never rest easy. Especially when I try to focus on my daily tasks or plan for the future I get this horrible flair up of “why plan for the future when this could come back in that future and you get uprooted from all of it” my mind won’t rest without certainty being uprooted won’t happen but certainty doesn’t exist, at least not with ocd. This sucks and I miss being care free.
