Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?
this is something very common with ocd!! we love to latch onto stuff to explain things for our self. not everything needs explanation nor the reassurance.
Well I got mostly demotivated when I read peoples comments they say that they accepted it now... So that triggers me the most.... And then there you got your OCD all day telling you are in denial... So whom to trust right!! Trust yourself you know who you are and don't need to give evidence to your OCD... After you recover u realise how disgusting those thoughts were ... It's all OCD in disguise... You don't deny it's just your OCD becomes worse over the time...
@Anonymous I’m new with learning about my OCD. It feels fake and feels like what I’m hearing is true, what I’m reading is for me and about me and my relationship. It triggers me and that’s all I hear most of the day. I feel like I saw it and I internalized it. When someone says they feel cold or numb, that’s what I hear and start to wonder well that must be me. It’s awful
@stephg1231 Well let's assume you have OCD.... So you know in most cases it works like that... What this would be about me .. what if I turned into what I fear the most... Then we get fixated over this thoughts and can't get it out from our head like a normal person would.... So the more argue with the more powerful it becomes... It demands certainty but never accepts it.... So it's pointless to logically argue with it... So what we do is let the thoughts be we don't don't compulsions ruminations trying to figure out what does that mean... About the intrusive thoughts and feelings those just plays with our mind.... Because they're intrusive because they are not true... So the more you do this process the more your brain learnaband rewire itself... then you understand how hilarious those thoughts were in the first place and laugh back at it 😅😅
Definitely i do that. There’s people on here that deal with things i thought i only dealt with. It’s awesome when i read “does anybody else deal with this…” and i can relate. What a relief I’m not the only one. Then there’s post that are exactly what i needed to hear and I’m so glad i came across them. There’s some that are just things i cannot read and I’m glad they put the trigger warning on their post. I’ve not been dragging myself down with guilt like i used to and I’m grateful for that. I feeli deserved to feel that guilt for a time. But that time is up. It’s been a lot of hard work and still is and will be. But i know exactly what you mean about what goes on inside when you read some posts. How negatively it impacts you is really all that changes, for me anyway. I will always have the knowledge of the wrong I’ve done. But what i let that do to me going forward is so much different. I used to let it tear me apart and it loved that shit. Slowly but surely it’s weakening and i love that shit😁.
We never know the ins and outs of someone’s situation, and ocd sufferers are usually ‘worst case scenario’ type of people , try to keep that in mind if you feel triggered
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
Does anyone experience ocd really bad with posts they see online? I just saw a post just now about someone who said they’ve come to terms with dying in their early twenties, and it popped up on my Instagram for you page and i panicked. I’m 20 myself and posts like this genuinely scare me because I always think “It’s a sign or there is a reason it’s popping up on my page.” Has anyone dealt with this before or had an instance like this? Especially with those posts that say if you don’t share or like it something bad will happen, it genuinely freaks me out and I love instagram.
