Can you share about it here? That might help? Remember, your worst OCD triggers are just the same as all the other OCD. OCD wants you to think it’s different. But it’s all the same!! There’s always help available!! NOCD has great therapy that takes most insurance. They might help a lot

@Clara_and_ellie We are here if you want to write it!! ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙 Also, this NOCD app has an SOS feature that walks you through an OCD spiral 🌀, I think. Also, there is an app called Unstuck that is all generated by AI, but might be very useful in walking us through our OCD spirals. I used it once, ands I noticed it suggested a lot of things that a therapist would suggest. So that is good:) I know all this might sound overwhelming, but I am hoping so much that you can get some support!!!! You really need support. I also like Nathan Peterson’s videos about OCD in YouTube. Maybe try watching some. It will be good for you to be reminded that you have the same symptoms that everyone has. (I’ll post a video below.) OCD tries to make us think that our thoughts are worse than anyone else’s, and that we are alone in our struggle, and that we are just monsters for having those thoughts. But the truth is—your OCD is predictable and inline with the common experiences of this disorder. Many other people are having the exact same experience that you are having. OCD wants to make you think that your experience is unique and different. But i can guarantee that your experience falls into the general pattern of OCD, and you will be able to unravel it if you get the right kind of help. The current therapists can understand OCD really well. They know how it works. The specifics might be slightly different for each person, but OCD actually works the same for everyone at it’s roots. Your worst trigger will not surprise anyone on this group. It will not surprise your therapist. OCD does what OCD does. It does its same type of tricks to everyone who suffers from it. But the good news is that you can learn what the OCD tricks are and learn to overcome it with the right kind of help. ERP therapy is extremely useful here. Like I said, NOCD does this very well if you are interested in trying it. I’ll post a video below. It might not meet your specific theme, but watching a lot of Nathan Peterson videos can help give an overall idea of how to apply ERP to our lives.

Since I don’t know your theme, this video is just a general one. However, there are probably lots of You Tube videos on your particular theme. https://youtu.be/nzSCy_CuMsI?si=Vhd6e0XFGvjtYzd-

i feel miserable, i don't know who to turn to anymore. i had very bad periods in my life where i felt depressed and suicidal for years but nothing compares to this, not only i feel depressed but my ocd is at an all time high. idk what to do i Just want to cry. i feel like I'm a monster and it feels reasonable to see myself this way. im a horrible person who doesn't deserve any of the good things in my life

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.
