Hey I can relate to that sadness that is there when you begin to starve your compulsions. Check out this video on what happens to you when you begin to starve compulsions and what is the beneath all that chasing that you do when OCD is active, and how you can begin to heal from that sadness and emptiness. https://youtu.be/eYWaGym1tGQ?si=DsV3sJzkVQXsz4Jw
@YouarenotyourOCD Thank you so much!
@Kollin No problem. This video really helped me because when I started starving my compulsions, I noticed there was an emptiness and depression that I began to experience and I realized that was there but doing my compulsions and living compulsively that emptiness was beneath that.
@YouarenotyourOCD Exactly how I’m feeling , literally thank you tons
@Kollin God bless you
So true. It’s uncomfortable to stand on one’s own feet suddenly, but it’s necessary There are stages, first you don’t want to give up your compulsions (although you already have the fight strength to resist them), then you mourn you have to be „on your own“ now, you go your fist steps alone, you go back and forth. And then you gradually discover to live on your own. OCD was the worst thing in your life, but it becomes smaller.
@elliss2 Perfect explanation of what it feels like
Ill be honest, I want to write a letter if anything happens, if I loose this battle and put and end to it. But even if my thoughts keep coming, I try to keep my head up, stand up strong and look them at them for what they are, thoughts. I’m still scared, I still can’t go to sleep normally, but I feel a tiny bit of hope. I really hope my feeling is right, I really hope. Whathever happens, I’m still proud of myself, I’m still proud of my achievements, I am proud of me. Whathever happens, please don’t forget This message. Please, don’t forget me
Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
I just recently turned 51 and take medication for ocd but STILLhave major issues--i need some hope--🥰
