Do OCD intrusive thoughts cause physical pain and dizziness for others?

OCD headaches?

When my intrusive thoughts get bad and I try my hardest to push them out it feels like I’m physically straining my head, like it legitimately hurts really bad and I feel like I get dizzy and can’t think and I can’t stop focusing and then my ocd causes me to think that there’s something wrong with my brain and that I need surgery or to be lobotomized or something crazy like that, does this happen to anyone else?

@jpatouhas511 THISSS, when I get to this point my ocd convinces me since I’m not paying attention to the thoughts then that must mean I like them and that I should feel guilty for not wanting to feel mental torment for thoughts of shit I would never do and then it causes me to spiral like bro can I get a break 😭

@Brian__ My OCD is health related so it’ll literally make me perceive symptoms that are only there because of OCD.

A lot of people with ocd get that. High anxiety can cause you to have headaches and even feel dizzy. The brain doesn’t always do well handling all that anxiety and stress which can result in symptoms like the headache. I’ve even had high anxiety make me shake and throw up.

@Brian__ I’ve treated my OCD and I’ve been doing a lot better so my anxiety has been a lot lower and that has greatly helped me not have the symptoms of high anxiety anymore which is really nice.

I KNOW HOW TO FIX ITTTT Get a weighted pillow (heat it up) and put it on your head for 30 minutes (or more). Make sure you are lying down. It’ll go away, but will be sensitive for the next few minutes, but it’ll go away.

Can ocd make you not feel right even when your feeling normal? Like I felt semi normal today and I started to think what If this means I want to do these bad things that I’m thinking about and get I get all anxious, I also have headaches all the time now and I just wanna sleep now. I can’t stand these thoughts and now I feel like I’m a schizophrenic and on top of that I have had harm ocd too. Sometimes I question if I even have ocd and what if these is like another mental illness, my harm theme makes me feel so fucked up and I find myself always saying “no no no I don’t wanna do those things” or “ why would I even think that I love my mom so much”. I don’t even feel like myself anymore and I’m just so tired now.

OCD thoughts?

Hello! Lately I’m dealing with my brain giving me intrusive scenarios or almost giving me worst case scenarios and my mind instantly believes them! For example: My Brain will give me an intrusive scenarios like “what if god is actually punishing me with these thoughts!” Then my brain gives me negative emotions towards god and being a Christian it’s just heart breaking!

Why is my ocd making me think about it constantly.

Does anyone else's OCD make them think about horrible things all the time. I feel like I'm constantly having horrible intrusive thoughts 24/7 and I can't even sleep without seeing horrible images when I close my eyes. I feel like a monster because their are times where it feels like I like the thoughts even though I'm absolutely appaled by them 24/7 and they literally make me feel nauseous because of the absolute disgust I feel by them. Its just so painful because I'm constantly being attacked in my own mind all the time. Does anyone have good coping mechanisms to deal with this? I just want to be able to have peace in my mind once in awhile
