What's going on? You can talk to me about it if you want to
@needtoescapetheV0ID Yes please!!
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend. Are you still here?
@Anony1314 - I'm sorry, that sounds really horrible to go through. OCD attacks what you value most, so this makes sense because you love and care about your children so much, and that must make the thoughts all the more terrifying. Groinal responses can be caused by various things, including anxiety, which can create a sort of awful cycle. Know that POCD arousal is not the same as sexual arousal—this is referred to as arousal non-concordance, and it’s a well-documented psychological phenomenon that is entirely distinct from sexual arousal. I know that that's probably not going to help much, though. OCD is irrational. I'm sorry I can't be of more help! :(
@needtoescapetheV0ID So you're unsure if I'm a monster or not friend? Do I need to turn myself in? I'm so sorry for asking this. I just feel like a terrible mother now
@needtoescapetheV0ID Sorry friend
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend
@Anony1314 - You're not a monster, but OCD is!
@needtoescapetheV0ID So this is all OCD? Sorry I was confused when you said you were sorry you couldn't help more
@Anony1314 - I just meant because I can't do anything beyond trying to calm you down 🥲
@Anony1314 - Yes, OCD is just being mean to you pretty much
@needtoescapetheV0ID Thanks friend. Even though this all happened as I wrote it and felt very wanted? It's still my OCD
@needtoescapetheV0ID And sorry for asking something else
@needtoescapetheV0ID Just really struggling my friend
@Anony1314 - Wishing you well! :)
@needtoescapetheV0ID I'm okay although it all happened as I wrote it and it felt very real and wanted in the moment? Still OCD?
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend!
@needtoescapetheV0ID Hey friend can you answer my question, or do you not want to friend?
I did SO well yesterday, but here I am struggling again.
I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this
(21+ ONLY PLEASE: TRIGGER WARNING) I’m just so sick of it. I’m letting it win. I’m letting it beat me. I’m losing. I’ve been seeing a therapist but we only meet every two weeks for an hour because of my insurance. I can’t afford any more visits. We’ve been working on ERP but I still feel stuck. Just recently, we went through a drive thru and the kid at the window looked really young. I’m afraid that I found him attractive and I felt a groinal at the thought. I f*cking hate my mind. I don’t think I can do this anymore. I’m trying but I still feel like it’s not enough. I’ve let my parents down, my friends and my family. Everyone who knows me doesn’t know the thoughts I have and how sick and disgusted I feel with myself.
