It feels as real as it can get today, I’m in such a bad flare with my ocd lately and I don’t know what’s happened. I was doing so so well and I’m back to this horrible place. Everything is getting to me, the real details especially. It’s all just consuming me today. I feel terrible.
False memory can feel so real... i had a panic attack once at the movies because of this... you arent alone Lilly... i promise...
@Givenup Thank you that means so much. I’m so sorry you also suffer
@LillyX My pocd situation ive posted about has been triggering me sk muchzzz
Hi there I don't know if it's any help but usually my flare ups are because I am doing compulsions or not enough ERP. Remember answering the intrusive thoughts, trying to figure them out, is pouring fuel on the OCD fire.
@Garrett Maguire This is so true, I need to stop with the constant rumination it’s like an addiction. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it so much
I’m so sorry. Also having a bad day today. Hang in there.
@Shi47 Thank you, I’m so sorry you’re also suffering. You’re not alone.
Im also going to give you a follow because I want to help when I can.
@Givenup I need help too 😭
@aspureasgreen How can I help?
@Givenup I commented on your previous posts.
@aspureasgreen I cant see it
Hey! I’m also in an OCD flare, so sorry you’re going through this. With OCD there are going to be some days where it feels incredibly real, that’s why OCD is so debilitating. Recovery isn’t linear there’s going to be good days and bad days but I promise, if you put in the work to get better, the good days will be far more than then the bad. ❤️
@Sadie1994! Thank you for the comment it means a lot, it’s just such a debilitating disorder. The bad days are just horrific, I’m so sorry your also suffering, I just hope we both get a break soon💗
Hi all! I’ve been doing really well with my OCD, but I’ve been in a flair up the last few days and it’s so uncomfortable and distressing. It’s so hard to remember that I’m strong when OCD is so loud.
It hurts so bad and is so discouraging every time I have a good day and then OCD hits me like a wave of bricks because it doesn’t want me to be happy. Being happy and feeling relief the little I do is so magical and I ask myself could I really have this life? And then my OCD takes over and ruins it all for me. I am sitting here in massive anxiety being terrified of thoughts. How can a thought scare you so bad? Why does it have to take over my life. I am terrified I will act on these thoughts and that I want to do them. I also am struggling so bad with false memory OCD. Can’t figure out if I did something bad. I feel like I need to know and that I need to turn myself in for something I don’t even know if I even did. Does anybody else struggle with this? I am having a really hard time right now. 😔
lately i’ve been having pretty bad ocd days but today was definitely one of my worst days. i just feel like such an awful person and the ocd is really eating at me. i try really hard, or i feel like i do sometimes. i try to talk to my mom and she says she understands but she doesn’t- and i hate it. i can’t even get dressed in certain clothing or watch a show i like anymore without ocd interfering. my mind is all over the place and i feel so helpless. i just wish it’d stop.
