The bad news is, you’ll always have OCD, the good news is, with great Therapy and time, you won’t let it get to you like it is now. Happened to me.

Hey there, take deep breaths and just breathe. Ride the anxiety wave without trying to figure any thing out no matter how nasty it may feel. You’re stronger than you think

I’m tired of having it too, it’s a living hell in every sense of the word. I know it isn’t easy but try to give yourself patience and compassion, you deserve it. Right now try to focus on your surroundings. Focus on 5 things you can see. They could be anything. This might help you gradually ground yourself. You are dealing with one of the most debilitating mental illnesses there is and it’s understandable that it’s weighing you down, I hope things get at least a little bit easier soon 🙏🏼

@andrewt_ Thank you so much, Friend. I feel like every day is getting a lot more harder and harder like I feel like I can no longer trust myself with my actions anymore. It’s just like whatever happened so quickly my brain just like gets a hold of it and it’s so hard for me because I cannot rewind and go back and if I try to then I start having false memory.😓

@andrea_sam730 Please know that this is something many, many of us on here go through, including me. OCD loves to latch onto quick, ambiguous things because it can create a whole story around them that you can’t easily refute (not because what OCD is saying is true, but because whatever happened, happened very fast and you can’t access the past). And during or after these things happen it feels like you did something bad even if you didn’t. It’s because you are primed to interpret these things in the worst light possible because you have OCD. This disorder makes you stop trusting yourself. It also creates false feelings that seem to confirm your fear but really don’t. Never forget how strategic and manipulative OCD is. It can convince you of anything and everything. And when you think you are the exception, remember every single one of us thinks that. You aren’t alone in this battle

@andrewt_ Thank you so much because a lot of the times I don’t know lately OCD has been really bothering me when it comes to vulnerable moments and so during those time it’s really hard and it’s like that’s the time where I feel like I may just lose control and just move because of a certain thought and sometimes it does feel that way and so I immediately paniceven called to point where I literally had to like avoid certain things because I just didn’t trust myself, but I’ll continue remembering what Dad told me today

I so complete get it, it’s freaking exhausting. Between that and the adhd, if I’m not constantly aware of what I’m doing, fking hell it can get ridiculous. Like watching two unruly children tripping off fun dip qor babysitting alcoholics lol. Some days I’m not sure which should get more attention, ok that pun was lame but included anyway for sure lol. Sorry for the dumb joke, but i suppose if it lightened your wariness a bit, then all is well indeed.

@Someonemaybe I’m really sorry you’re feeling that way my friend. I pray that you’ll feel better. Remember to continue fighting back the LCD with ignoring it and just sitting with all the uncomfortable emotions that’s what helps me from time to time. I know it’s not easy but I have faith in you.💕🙏🏽😓

@andrea_sam730 Your awesome, seriously, thank you. I do much better these days, no doubt. There’s always going to be struggles and internal nagging but I’m learning which to give attention to and the appropriate time to do so. I definitely can’t ignore the things inside, but i am learning to give them space when it’s time to do so. Not while I’m trying to spend time with my kids or just randomly anymore, but when i allow it. That’s helped considerably so far. I wish the best for you and your healing as well, truly. We’re all in this fight and it’s beautiful to see how we support and encourage one another. That’s something i haven’t found anywhere else. Stay strong and stay engaged. Have such a great and victorious day🙂💯.

I’m begging ANYONE help I can’t take it anymore!!
I feel awful that I keep coming on here whenever I’m down bad but oh my gosh OCD is the most painful shit that I have EVER experienced in my life and I have a physical chronic illness…. I hate to say it but I hate living right now it’s too painful… im crying as I type to the point where my stomach is hurting, I have pretty severe ocd I do have generalized anxiety and idk if that is connected with ocd but because of that I have most of the subtypes REAL EVENT OCD,POCD,ZOCD,ROCD,SOCD HARM OCD, you name it and I got it!!! a lot of also why I have have those theme is trauma growing up and involving those things^ as of right now i’m 25 and a women with the most loving boyfriend in the entire world before my ocd hit me I NEVER questioned my love and care and attraction with the love of my life I always knew I was going to marry and be with this person the rest of my life! Now with ocd it confuses me soooo much and now I think I’m gay and didn’t realize or indenial and listen I get it “don’t look for reassurance!” “It’s not the thing ocd is attacking that is the problem ocd is the actual problem!” Here’s the thing with that if I’m in a relationship and I’m gay that would mean I would have to leave that said relationship and to say that “oh yeah that stuff happens and you’ll move on” is absolutely devastating to me this is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and your telling me that iv been lying to myself this whole time or that I didn’t realize?!?!? And that sexuality can change (even though some say it can’t google says otherwise and some people have said it can’t idek anymore) and all this other BULLSHIT I can’t take it WHY?!?! why does this have to happen why can’t I just be with my love the rest of my life?!? and yes before anyone says anything I have been attracted to girls more so when I was younger watching lesbian porn liking the body’s and fantazing them sexually it stopped when I got older but I still don’t get disgusted with women who are pretty it just makes me uncomfortable because I’m with the love of my life and before I remember talking to my partner and discussing certain childhood things I experienced and we discussed that we both could be a little bi and for certain I’m (demi sexual so I don’t even really care about looks) and I truly didn’t care!! NOW I do care even with being bi because again I don’t like thinking about anyone else but my partner but I do also know my parents are homophobic and I do think about if I am gay they wouldn’t be okay with that and I also dont want to deal with that so now I sound like in indenial right?!???? I didn’t even care about labels before my ocd it just didn’t matter but now it’s effected my sex life and it’s hard for me to enjoy sex with being so confused I’m so confused I googled everything can you still have sexual fantasies with same gender but still be straight? Can you fantasize about same gender or imagine marrying them all of it !!! And non of that disgusts me it just makes me uncomfortable AGIAN only bc I just love the partner I’m with right now!!! I’m so fucking confused do I have to leave my partner and accept that I’m gay is that going to happen in the future if I get better with ocd and find out it’s been true all along?!???

I can't do this anymore
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.
