Acceptance
Hi! Does anyone else find it hard to accept that you have ocd? I think it’s the most difficult part.

I honestly still think I’m just “on the ocd” spectrum and not really ocd because so many people have it worse. I’d like to learn coping mechanisms and how to stop feeling like I’m in a fight with my brain all the time, which is how I justified coming here to myself.

I also think it’s a wide spectrum and that it’s important to keep that in mind. I’ve had a hard time accepting it bc I thought it meant I must be destined to go down an extreme path, but I see now that it’s just accepting the forms I have in order to let them go and get to where I want to be. Good luck!

What does acceptance mean/ feel like? Because to me it just scares me and makes me feel like I’m giving into my OCD thoughts.

Okay so I’m trying to accept it but it’s just making me feel depressed. I don’t want it. I want to be happy with my girlfriend again. She was the most important thing in my life and then the OCD hit back like it did when I was a child. And brought up all these insecurities that I had made piece with or hadn’t even realised I had. Now there feels like there’s a glass screen between me and her when she talks about our future I feel like a fraud. I hate ocd. Even if I have been in denial my whole life (which I didn’t think I was) I was happy and content and confident in myself. Now it’s all gone, and it feels like I have no choice but to just tell the ocd it was right all along and live that life because that’s what it feels like I want. But I don’t know what’s me and what’s ocd anymore (even saying that sounds like a lie).

acceptance
Does anyone else get triggered by some of the things people say about accepting and recovering. Idk Like sometimes I feel like my thoughts are so awful how could i ever come to accept that and let it roam free in my brain. I think that makes my fear worse especially when it comes to magical thinking :(
