Ocd
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.
I think it has something to do with the fact that it's so strong and true to life because I live in my head and I don't have a social life. I'm at home all day and I'm not around other people outside of my family, plus the depression.
There’s always opportunities for change. If you feel like you want to add more social things into your life , you can. Volunteering is a great place to start. You’ll get some social time plus the added benefit of helping others. I also think focusing on helping someone else helps you get out of your head ( it usually does for me anyway ) maybe share how your feeling with your family for some extra support right now too
I'm actually just hoping that once I'm working and not at home and I'm around people every day, I hope this will all go away or at least ease up a lot.
You can always reach out to your therapist for more support too
i feel you and i’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been isolated at home for the past 3 years with occasional short outings. Isolation and not being social definitely amplified OCD and mental health issues as well as health conditions. Sending lots of love and hugs <3
The problem is that since my girlfriend left me, I haven't been walking at all. When I still had my girlfriend, I was on the street and among people and there was no social media. Since she broke up with me, I'm at home and I'm very I rarely go out when I meet my friends, unfortunately I rarely get to meet them and that's why I'm at home all the time and I think that's why my OCD is so strong and that's why I feel like this I guess this feeling never gets old.
The problem is that I'm afraid to go out with people because I know I'll have intrusive thoughts about everyone and they'll get stuck and it'll only get worse because it's so lifelike.
I simply have no sense of the real world, I live in my head, I think that's why this whole thing is so lifelike and bad.
I'm afraid it won't go away and I won't be able to live anymore, I just can't.
When I was with my girlfriend, I had a social life, I was always in the city with my girlfriend among people and then there was no OCD at all, but since she broke up with me 3 months ago, there is simply no I don't have a social life, I'm always at home with my family and I live in my head. I think this is a big reason why OCD is so real and strong, and depression is something I just found out about.What is all this nonsense? If I had known this a long time ago, I wouldn't have let it get bad.
Since he broke up with me, I've only been in town sometimes when I'm meeting my friends or going with my parents, and so since then I've only been living in my head and I don't have any social life or anything, and people.I'm not even outside of my family and I've simply forgotten what it feels like to be without OCD.And let's just say, being among people and being with people, I've simply forgotten what it's like to be out there and be among people. It's like I'm in a prison, in a prison of my own head, and I'm the cause of it, but unfortunately it's become so strong that I don't think it'll go away.
Is this ocd? I Have a thought or think something f harmful that I’ve gotten intrusive thoughts about - and get a feeling like I want/like it or it would give me relief??? Please tell me that will eventually go away and I’ll get my real feelings back??? Or have I just turned into those things? Sometimes things that make me upset it even feels like I’ll do them just so I can be upset about them.
Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
