Has anyone lost interest in something they loved before intrusive thoughts? I like romance books so much, escaping my world and thinking of someone's else's,reading romance stories... After my intrusive thoughts,my books became a trigger to them and I have stopped reading two months now,I tried to pick it up again but I'm not in the mood,I really miss it
I feel as tho when I am going through a hard time with mental issues or my brain isn't feeling right that I can't enjoy anything, say I'm listening to music and then the thoughts come, I feel completely disturbed by the thoughts and no longer feel happy
I feel you
i have this issue to with my fear of depression and my suicidal ocd i get sooo scared of losing love over stuff i love because i love music so much it’s lit what makes me “me” and other stuff too i get so scared if i won’t have confidence or love for anything because of my ocd
Yes. Video games, reading, binge watching shows, driving with music, etc.
Does anyone else here’s OCD prevent them from doing things that you used to love? Because of my OCD I avoid partaking in any of my hobbies including reading or painting. Just wondering if anyone can relate!! :)
Does anybody feel weird when they try do to things they enjoyed before this ocd hit? Like I know I like these things but because I'm so into my head my ocd makes it feel forced
I’m not 100% sure that I have OCD, but I do have PTSD and some new intrusive thoughts were triggered a couple weeks ago. It feels like they have changed my whole perception of my life since then. Every experience that should be fun or relaxing is tainted with the horrible dread I feel when these thoughts creep in. I was really enjoying my life for a while before these new thoughts started and it feels like I have lost contact with that version of myself and my life. I’m afraid of these thoughts tainting things that I want to stay good and pure. I’m just feeling really lost about how to soothe myself and dig out of this
