I do have lots of thoughts regarding my daily activities it just comes as a compulsion like what I did yesterday by this time what was exactly happening it just give me lot of anxiety
I’m the same way and can get caught up in my own thoughts. Try and do things that keep you present like meditation, video games, or just whatever you enjoy. I’m not sure if you take meditation but Prozac has helped me to stop the overthinking and it gives me way more energy thus making me more productive and happy. Just don’t give up, with time will come understanding, and with understanding will come peace. You’re not alone so stay strong! You got this!!!🦍
Thank you ... Currently I m on escitalopram
@Anonymous I’ve heard good things about escitalopram. I would say stick with the medication for a few months and see is there’s any changes. If not then talk with your doctor about maybe switching or upping the dosage. It’s really just about finding what works for you then sticking with it.
@Dreyco Jones Thank u
@Anonymous For sure, have a good day today! I’m here if you need anymore advice or just wanna talk.✌🏻
@Dreyco Jones Whats ur age ? Are u struggling with ocd ?
@Ishwarya I’m 19 and I’ve had ocd all my life but it’s gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. What about you?
@Dreyco Jones Actually I started to get the symptoms just before 6 months I think so it's just started very gradually and now it has turned my life upside down and completely new to this and I am from India so here people don't understand what is exactly happening with me they just say don't over think and do the work this is what it happening daily
@Ishwarya I completely understand how you feel, it has completely changed my life as it’s gotten worse. It’s just something we have to learn more about and do the best we can with it. Even though im from the states and more people understand why im the way i am, I’ve been in the same place you are with not feeling like anyone gets it. Just know you always have this platform with hundreds of people that are going through the same things. On top of that I can relate to your constant overthinking so just know you’re not alone!
@Dreyco Jones Yeah thank you so much you are in the age of my little brother I am so glad that you are replying to my post Yeah let me deal with the thoughts and just trying not to respond to any of the thoughts but some of the thoughts I'll get into severe urge and I will find out .. few thoughts I can able to delay responding oh God I am just praying for the life before OCD I couldn't able to concentrate much on my work Trying really hard
@Ishwarya Of course! I’m very happy to help. Just take things one day at a time and don’t overwhelm yourself. Remember that we have to get better the same way we got sick which is a slow process sometimes. I’m not sure how many medications are available where you are but medication has helped me to stop the obsessive thoughts sometimes and allows me to focus on my work better. Also things like meditation or praying before work could help you get into a positive calm mindset. Just stay consistent you got this!!!
Yes bro thank yew
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩
I’ve had this feeling all day that I’m just gonna lose control because I’m not checking how I feel. I had this thought like oh well you wouldn’t be brushing your teeth or eating if you was gonna act on it and then I felt relief for a bit and now I’ve started getting thoughts like what’s the point in cleaning or eating if you’re gonna act on it & now I feel confused?? What’s going on
Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.
