I'm the same. I started to keep a journal, though, and it's helping me a lot to keep track of my thoughts. I never go in depth about my ocd, but I just write how I feel, my dreams, poems that I like, photos I have, etc. I try to romantize everything, writing scenarios and all. It's such a mood, it reminds me of a Lana Del Rey song. I really recommend doing this.

That was me when my hocd was very bad, constant instructive thoughts and anxiety, all day from the moment I woke up to the time I slept I couldn’t watch shows without thinking I have a crush on the girl and I would ask my self does that boy still look cute to you. I never had this app when I was in the worst stage but I had a support group online. The best thing to do is to try and start to do thinks that cause you anxiety. But slowly and the ones that don’t cause as much anxiety and hopefully it will get better but I would 100% recommend going to therapy I never went but I feel like I wish I did because even though I’m better I feel like there’s a chance it will come back because it always happens, I’ll go through a few years of being pretty much anxiety free and then it comes rushing back. Like a year before all this I had one instructive thoughts about a girl and then never again and then boom everyday for 3 months.

I am going to therapy a couple of years and it has definitely helped me. My major disorder is anxiety. Depersonalisation and hocd came as sideeffects. For me emotional focused therapy helped the most, cause I had so much trouble to process and even feel feelings that were going on inside of me when I had trigger situations. I can strongly recommend that for those who feel numb, depersonalized or overwhelmed by anxiety and stress to such degree that you almost not feel anything else.

Hey. I know how you feel. I have the same problems that I know how it felt doing sth before I had hoch and no while doing it, it feels so distanced and non personal. I get into a conflict between my memories + former feeling and now where I usually react anxious. And I start ruminating and it gets worse and I feel like I always trap myself and ruin my evening. The only thing that helps is crying and after crying I feel more integrated and can enjoy a movie to some stage until it slowly starts again with ruminating, getting anxious etc.

I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.
