Just thinking about how ocd attacks and latches onto all the things that mean the most to me. And makes me petrified about them. Ocd has got to be one of the cruelest mental health issues going. And it takes my biggest fears and makes me believe them. What is the point of ocd ? Why does it exist? It's like my own brain is trying to destroy my life...it makes no sense.
It's basically like your amygdala (the thing that processes fear) is overactive, that's how I think of it. It takes almost anything and just creates irrational fears that the brain processes further.
No one has any idea why mental illnesses or disorders exist other than the more complicated a brain, the more likely it will have issues. And boy does they ring true with humans… It isn’t its own entity or trying to hurt you; it’s just a malfunction of some people’s brain along with an overactive, wonky amygdala.
It is cruel. I hate how it can try and find any little thing to make me think that my partner may be unfaithful or is lying and secretly hates me. There is zero evidence of this and yet it will pick the tiniest most insignificant things and try to connect the dots to form some terrible picture in my head. It tries to make me forget all of the love and kindness and truth that my partner has shown me over the years. I have to work hard to remember those things. It's exhausting sometimes.
This is meant to help people, if you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all, I was cured from ocd from doing this method, I don’t have anything to sell nor to I wish to sell it, *stay away from street drugs and alcohol even marijuana, yes even in moderation this can be detrimental to your health. *take organic multi vitamin daily *drink 1 gallon of water daily your brain is about 80% water *take a distilled and I say again distilled fish oil make sure it has been tested for mercury (daily)your brain lives off of healthy fats, healthy brain=happy brain *organic mct oil *organic powdered greens *water fast from the beginning of your day and eat one healthy meal a day at 5 o clock you will not get hungry if you are drinking the water our ancestors didn’t always have access to food, fasting has been shown to cure multiple diseases including diabetes. *meditate with positive thinking daily * exercise daily *get 8 hours of sleep every night * listen to uplifting sounds or positive music *do u ever feel like there is something higher than you after all you are a being living in outer space, could you have created this technology? Could you have created your eyes and your ears ? Grow closer to the creator of the universe but seek positivity discernment, and love from this source. *stop worrying live in the moment. *social interaction *adventure nature *deep breathing exercise the brain lives off of oxygen as well. *read everyday *nurture your mental health *see the good in everything I hope this helps you. If you decide you want your ocd gone go out and do it like I did it.
So I've had OCD since I was a child. Like really young. The first intrusive thought I can remember was when I was 5. It just keeps getting worse and lately they've been making me physically ill or throwing me into extreme panic attacks again ( ones where I can't move my body ) the other night I thought God was trying to kill me because I was thinking about ending myself from OCD+ life issues but in reality I was just having a panic attack😭😭it affects me daily. It gets a little better with therapy but I don't see therapy coming into my life any time soon and I'm not even sure if I would want to go (for multiple reasons). To wrap this up if you have severe ocd can you tell me what it's like?? I don't want to label anything without proper research and hearing others perspectives. Thank you!! <3 (My profile says all of my subtypes if that helps any)
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.
OCD isn’t just about compulsions—it’s a mental battle that can be completely exhausting. The anxiety, doubt, and pressure to "get it right" can feel unbearable, especially when others don’t understand what’s happening beneath the surface. What’s the hardest part about living with OCD that others don’t see?
