Ik like i never had it until recently and my therapist like knows nothing about OCD. she looks things up so I'm trying to find an OCD specialist. since with all those thoughts and stuff like ecen kissing my boyfriend now and stuff feels werid and i just don't know if that means i dont like him anymore but I don't want to break up with him because I love him and I even turn off my notifications when i get texts because for some reason I get anxious because I'm like I have to respond right away and I know I don't have too. and he is such a great person. i just dont know anymore. telling this too other people they would say like "maybe you lost interset" and stuff.

@rlr A therapist is good for problems that are solvable, but ocd like me I need to see a ocd therapist or someone in the ocd study group

@GummyDrop yeah I’ve been thinking about getting an ocd therapist but it’s just so much to switch therapists and what if I don’t connect with the ocd therapist and ahhh it’s just too much but I know it’d be a good idea

@rlr Yeah I suggest you go with a friend or ask friends for recommendations, you don’t deserve to go through this alone, ocd needs multiple people to take it down, if you need me my insta is @pencilllllll5

Doubting and confusion is something I deal a lot with too. My thoughts and feelings change a lot and sometimes I feel totally fine. I think that if you express your concern to your therapist and just make sure you’re doing all you can to feel okay that’s all that matters. Labels are just there to try to help you with what you’re going through. But as long as you’re getting better and helping yourself that’s all that matters

I don’t think you’ve lost interest. I think that other things are causing stress and that’s why you are pulling away. I think it would be helpful to talk to your boyfriend about what you are feeling and to definitely find a new thereapist! I think if you need space for a few weeks (not a break but like you’ll text him when you want to talk) and expressing that this is something you deal with would be helpful

im not diagnosed, but these past two days have been terrible. i constantly have this underlying feeling that i might do something that i think is gross and i feel like i can’t do anything on my own because otherwise i might do something wrong. like i feel like i constantly have to be in front of people so that i can make sure of my every action. this is so exhausting and I’m so confused. and like i keep getting terrible images and stuff replaying in my head. i also try to recall what happened but i feel like i have false event too. i used to have religious ocd and that eventually stopped completely, but now it feels like all my work getting over that was pointless. also like i feel like i might have contamination ocd but not the typical germ type. I just get terrible images and I can’t remember if those images are true or not even though they’re impossible and i feel terrible. I don’t know if i could ever get over this because even the thought of it is terrible.

something that really bugs me and gets in my head with my rocd is that for most of my relationship i’ve had this nagging anxiety and ocd about it. i can accept my thoughts for the most part, but have this underlying fear that this one could really mean something and that makes me feel guilty! i don’t want to loose her but my mind tells me i do because ive had these thoughts. it’s even coming up in my dreams now! i had a dream last night that i cheated and it made me panic all today and feel so bad and this thought came up again! any advice?

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
