Just had that yesterday I was outside myself crying my eyes out because I just don’t want to feel like that ever again. Don’t stay here too long friend sit with the discomfort and continue living. You’re doing great and in case no one told you today thanks so much for being alive and being awesome. ❤️

@DavidSeeker It’s meant. I know how hard it is. You’re worth it. It’s not fair but it is what it is. ❤️🩹

It sucks when intrusive thoughts creep up on you suddenly! Try running cold water on your head for about 30seconds - 1min or if that’s not for you, a YouTube guided progressive muscle relaxation exercise can help with calming the nervous system. This might help bring you down from feeling highly strung from your thoughts 🙂 It’s important to note that thoughts are just that and they aren’t facts about yourself. They’re ego-dystonic! Hope you start to feel better 🤍

Oof...yeah that's never fun. Whenever I have spirals I try to remind myself to take a step back and just breathe. Hope your day gets better. 🩵

I need guidance or to feel like I am not alone
I was doing so much better with my OCD. I thought I finally figured it out. However, the last two weeks have been a nightmare. It’s like I went from 0-100 all over again. And it’s become scarier than it ever has been. Every other thought is either causing me anxiety or turning into an intrusive thought. Any headache or feeling of derealization, and I start to spiral. My thoughts are becoming more gruesome and feeling more real. The intrusive urges are so bad it feels like at any moment I could actually just snap. It feels like I am about to go crazy. Another hard aspect is when I’m getting these intrusive urges it feels like I want to do it or I don’t care if I do it. I don’t feel like myself. I feel like this disgusting monster who is just going to lose it and I want it to be over. Why is this happening when I was finally better? It makes me feel like it’s not OCD and I’m actually this person and I’m just holding my true self back. I’m sick to my stomach.

Feeling sad
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.
