I know how that feels. It's like the second you find some relief, it comes back swinging but you can do this! Don't give in. I don't know you, but seeing that you're here I know you can face this. You have us! We are here to support each other!
Yeah, that sneaky little bugger, often tries to get as with something new, if it's old tactic doesn't work properly anymore.
Hey, you know how to handle the SOB now.
I love you attitude! That is an encouragement to me too!
I'm so glad to hear you've been doing amazing! It's tough when OCD tries to sneak back in, isn't it? But it sounds like you have a solid plan to ride it out. Remember, you're not alone in this, and you have the strength to get through these moments. Have you found any particular strategies helpful in the past when OCD tries to take hold? Keep being kind to yourself and remember that it's okay to have ups and downs. You're doing great! 🌟
I get how you feel like fr. Especially when I have good days, I start feeling like maybe I am faking it. It's a theme that goes against my values as a person, which I know OCD does. Usually I am fighting contamination OCD, but when I am doing ok, it's like "you're a lier and a faker", " how do you keep this going, when you are just attention seeking".... Trust me, it's a hard to have your minditerally against you, but that is OCD, it takes advantage of you and lies to you. You need to just keep using your strategies and keep going. Don't over think it. Just let the thoughts drift like a cloud and keep moving forward. You got this!
Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️
can someone with this theme help me i’m so scared and i can’t stop having panic attacks is this OCD??? So i always have struggled most with sucicidal ocd and harm ocd. i never really had any other themes. but recently ive struggled with SOOCD. My whole life i have never EVER been into girls ever and i could never even think of ever being with a girl in my entire life. i’m having extreme amounts of anxiety and i have compulsions to make sure i look at a girl and don’t feel anything towards them or anything. My mind is literally going “what if your just in denial” or “what if you’ve just been hiding it all these years” When i know i haven’t. i have all of the symptoms of SOOCD and i still know that im not gay,but these thoughts are extremely distressing and have been the worse to deal with. I’m constantly panicking and doing compulsions to get these thoughts to leave and they won’t. i’m scared and these thoughts are making my mind scared. What if i’m going against my morals and i’m lying to myself like and i just went through a tough breakup too so that is shooting these thoughts and anxiety. Please help omg!!!
I’ll cut a long story short… SOCD/ HOCD was one of the first themes I got when I was a teenager. The first one was health but I didn’t know that was OCD at the time. Anyway, I have had SOCD for 11 years. Sometimes it leaves me alone and it feels like I’m my own self again! Don’t get me wrong it lingers but I manage. But… IT IS BACK!!! My head is telling me that I am a lesbian and that I need to just admit it. I hate it. I have a boyfriend who I love unconditionally and this has just sprung out of a dream I had -.- I don’t want to be a lesbian! The groinal responses have always been the worst. It started when I was around 16, I woke up one morning and my brain just said ‘you’re a lesbian’, as you can imagine I freaked out, panic attack and cried. Then, my brain starts looking into my childhood… well it’s had a field day. When I was around 9 my friend showed me girls kissing on YouTube and then I suppose I got addicted to it. I then used to play on Habbo and walk up to girls and say ‘kisses’ etc. my brain is now saying that this is evidence that I’m gay. I DONT WANT TO BE A LESBIAN!!! I have no issues with gay people, I just don’t want to be gay myself. Sometimes, when the thoughts come in I don’t seem to get anxious but I get groinals and that freaks me out! I just want peace. I hate this. I get so many different themes. Now it’s this one and I just want to crawl under my duvet, sleep until they’re gone but then I end up dreaming about it!!!
