Does anyone else deal with a psychic ability with OCD ? It comes to me in visions thoughts and voices and a lot of the times I am correct on them just curious if that's my OCD or not??
Nicole Rafiee on YouTube has a YouTube video on this, she has ocd and she’s incredible. Would highly recommend.
I'm very hyper aware of myself too and that makes sense thank you.
I’ve actually talked to a few people off this app with OCD who felt like they had really strong intuition. While it’s not exactly the same as what you’re describing, it’s similar. These people came to realize, though, that it was OCD all along. They thought they had such accurate predictions, noticed so many little details, and planned things out so carefully. They were constantly overthinking and analyzing, which led them to feel like their intuition was on point. Me included. People often describe me as having a really strong, almost spiritual intuition, but I later realized it was just OCD. I’m super hyper-aware of myself and others. It’s funny because everyone I’ve spoken to who thought they had amazing intuition ended up realizing it was OCD too. It’s actually really possible, and it makes me laugh. It’s crazy that we all thought we were just insanely intuitive when, in reality, OCD just makes us so detail-oriented and hyper-observant. Our minds never really stop, so we end up noticing things that others might miss. Nature just feels extra predictable to us because of that. I’m not saying true intuition or psychic ability doesn’t exist, but with OCD, our brains are so overactive that it could contribute to what feels like strong intuition.
Are you on any medicines or anything that helps with this? I'm wanting help with it I see a therapist but I don't think it's enough
@chole43 Currently trying to figure out a medication that works for me. I’m too sensitive and have bad reactions but usually people have really good luck with SSRI’s. I’m trying a mood stabilizer right now. My sister is on Prozac, it works well for her. My friend is on Zoloft, also works for her. You should try to see a psychiatrist :) it can help, I’m just super sensitive so I haven’t found anything yet.
@issphra 🫶🏻 I have tried everything too and am really sensitive as well so I haven't found anything that helps with it yet either
@issphra 🫶🏻 One more question do you struggle with working? I have a really hard time at work with it all especially on down time
@chole43 I hope you find something soon, I hope we both do. I do struggle with working and school a lot. I have a lot of diagnoses unfortunately so there’s that. My ADHD plays a big role and an even bigger one in feeding my OCD or just making it trickier to manage.
@issphra 🫶🏻 I get that I've been diagnosed with schitzofrenia too and have been treating that and my anxiety
What helps with this?
Does anyone ever feel like you know you have OCD, but at the same time you think it might actually be you connecting to a higher consciousness or vibration that is trying to control your decisions so that the outcome does not turn out bad kind of like the butterfly effect. It drives me crazy because I know I’m conscious that it’s OCD but at the same time I overthink and feel like it might be a higher power trying to warn me that I’m not doing something right, like example; if I flip the trash can lid a couple more times it’s going to pervert something bad from happening and that why I’m sensing I’m not doing it right, because if I spent a little more time there and if I would have left earlier the outcome would’ve been different. Or say I just fight through it and choose to ignore it, but then I’ll carry that negativity/worry of not feeling like I did it right and will project it out into existence because the thought won’t leave my head and in a way your seeking it out into existence since you keep thinking about it, kind of like an affirmation?
I struggle to understand when a thought is an intuition or intrusive, especially with relationship OCD. My problem is I have a great intuition. There have been many times when I thought something that made me anxious, and said to myself “it’s only OCD”, but then that thought turned out to be true. But there have also been times when it turned out it was just OCD.
I don't know what this is, I don't know enough about OCD, my psychiatrist put me on a medication and told me I have OCD and a mood disorder but I didn't ask any questions because I didn't want to be annoying. I have "evidence" that every year, when I think about death, the world kills someone I love, and it always happens twice. I have nothing to help change that, like, I don't do anything with my thoughts or anything numbers or ritually, so I wasn't sure if it even was OCD, but I do move my hands in certain ways to make my friends happy or improve their lives. Also I cant turn off my fan or something SA related will happen (i dont know how) I think that the world is threatening me, and that if I do something wrong or involve myself with certain things, the world will punish me and the people around me, so all I can do is apologize I've tried looking into the different types of OCD, and all of them are things that I've been anxious about before, but I haven't really been so anxious about any one of them in particular or held onto it for so long, or done any rituals, that I would probably not even say I have OCD. Like, I worry that I'm a nazi, I worry that I like kids, I worry that I killed my friend, I worry that I have schizophrenia or am somehow giving myself it, I worry that I'm going to abuse someone, I worry that I've already abused someone, I worry that somehow I might die, I worry people can hear my thoughts, I worry about ignoring my friend when he cried out for help, I worry that God has already rejected me from heaven, I worry that I like women, I worry that if I don't hit the hammer 9 times on the wall when Im using it that just something bad will happen that I dont know what and I don't know why, and I feel like I don't have a single compulsion that can even "fix" or bring relief to any of these things besides saying sorry, because if I say sorry at least people know that I am apologetic for the crimes I've committed, but saying sorry doesn't fix anything except my own guilt so I'm just a bad person looking for sympathy or seeking attention I don't know enough about OCD, and I don't know how to seek help for my condition because I don't even know if that's really what I have, if I'm not just simply anxious, or possibly schizophrenic Does any of this seem familiar to anyone? Can it be this varied and unfocused? Does this really sound like OCD, or can it be anything else, because I don't want to bark up the wrong tree when I could just be taking medication for something else.
