How do I not allow my ocd to steal the joy out of all of my most joyful moments right now. I know I should pray more for God to help me see the good and peace these amazing situations bring, but I just can’t get this pit out of my stomach. I get angry easily and have a short temper, I hate it. My boyfriend has been so patient with me but although he says it’s okay and he understands it’s still something I don’t want him to be on the receiving end of… Please help. Any and all advice is appreciated, please be nice💕

Begin by loving yourself. Allow yourself to enjoy the moments without having expectations or worrying about the outcomes. Embrace the mindset of simply having fun and enjoying your own company, regardless of whether your partner judges you or not.

@Nicoleisdoingtheirbest - Be easy on yourself. We are not perfect. Great you identified the root of the issue, now moving to solve it. Dwelling on the fault and having negative thoughts won't solve. Right?

try to stay present in the moment and focus on the positive aspects of the situation. Mindfulness techniques can help in managing intrusive thoughts and anxieties and do meditation 🧘‍♀️. Open up to your boyfriend about how you are feeling. Honest communication can help reduce misunderstandings and strengthen your relationship. Additionally, consider seeking couples therapy to work through any challenges together. Remember be positive and recovery takes time and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Be kind to yourself.It's essential to be gentle with yourself as you navigate this journey.

@Anonymous - Thank you! I mostly feel bad because he has been nothing but an angel during all of this and always has been. He’s so kinda calm and understanding and I do tell him how I’m feeling… I do appreciate your advice tho to try and stay present, I’m definitely having trouble doing that.

Of course 🙂It's totally understandable, but remember everything is going to be okay. There is nothing that hope and practice can't solve.

I’ve had a couple bad days this week. Anyone have tips to not ruminate and how to learn to just accept OCD and not take it as a thing that’ll just ruin my life..I’ve got 3 boys and my beautiful wife and I just want them to get the most out of me and enjoy life with them. OCD as of late has made some events kind of hard..I do find joy in being around them. But at times the anxiety that comes with it can be tough. Please only share positive feedback! God bless everyone

Someone help

Please , please… someone give me some advice who is or has been in similar situation?? I need to stop confessing to my partner. I know it hurts him, he said he knows I cannot control that I have a mental illness, or that I have these thoughts in my head but not to put them in his head, he doesn’t want to think about them which is understandable it’s not just random thoughts it’s intrusive thoughts revolved around ROCD, SOCD mostly are my ocd themes that I confess to him… we have spilt up over this before and he gave me another chance and just continues to do that, because I just keep doing it, I know what I’m doing, I know it’s wrong, but the anxiety ocd gives me nothing else will calm me until I confess either to him or if it’s not him it’s my mum, either way I’m still confessing the difference is it doesn’t hurt my mum when I confess, she can handle it, my partner cannot. I hate myself for doing this, I don’t know how to get out of the OCD haze… best way I can describe when I feel anxious over ocd is a feeling of DOOM. 😔😭 please pray for me… please pray for my partner, my daughter, mother, everyone who is affected because of my mental illness… 🤎

Advice please

I’m going through the worst ocd flare up , I can’t stop crying and feel like I’m the worst person in the world and that no one understands how it makes me feel and how I feel so alone and that I’m a horrible person. Why do I feel like everything I’ve done makes me the worst unlovable person. Why is it when I pray I’m still so sad and nothing get fixed so I can be happy. I just want to be happy and at peace and stop having these intense overpowering thoughts. I know they say it’s best to sit with the thought until it passes instead of trying to direct my self but it just won’t go away and I’m trying hard to let it pass but something will always remind me of it and bring me right back to square one. I’m just so miserable that this is my life and thought process every single day😪
