I’ve been struggling with this for the part year and it’s been horrible I hate my life and I feel like nothing works , please help or feel free to share tips or your own story
I don’t have somatic OCD, but I understand your pain and I truly hope things turn around for you. Just know that this is just a small bump in the road, and it won’t last forever. If you aren’t currently seeing a therapist, I think it would be best to start that. If you aren’t currently, great job on taking that step. With the right support and effort, you’ll move forward. It takes a lot of dedication and patience, but I’ve been there and it’s so worth it. You’ve got this and I’m rooting for you!!!!💗💗💗
@Anonymous I meant if you are currently seeing a therapist, good job***
Some things I’ve picked up in my journey as it may relate to somatic ocd and/or body sensations: The heart knows how to pump blood throughout the body, the lungs know how much air to breathe in & out, the stomach knows how to process nourishment, the eye lids know how & when to blink, the scalp/face have muscles & blood vessels that pulsate. So I’ve learned (and through practice) to let them all do their jobs without having to interfere. This while accepting the uncertainty and discomfort. Hope this helps you.
Learn to be OK with it and realize it’s normal bodily process that you don’t have to control, try to make sense out of or do a compulsion with it.
In particular to Breathing ocd
