Everyday it just gets worseš
Iāve had enough manš I wanna go back to my old selfš

Tbh (I also have this theme) you would never go back to pre-ocd self. Itās okay to grieve that. Youāre now more disgustingly self aware but you would become more refined and capable of dealing with whatever ocd throws at you. That being said, letās check why your ocd is getting worse. Is it stress or you find yourself engaging and drowning in compulsions? Lemme know so I can tailor the advice
@Ms.shelovesfrogs Itās getting worse because I keep experiencing groinal response and hyperawareness, it happened just now when I was looking at adult content and a triggering image of a man popped up and now I want to screamšš
@Fcukocd Take a step back. If someone else was telling you what youāre telling us, what would you tell them.
@sjwmzn2023 Iād tell them itās just a response to anxiety and a symptom of OCD but itās hard to tell myself that all I wanna do is screamš
@Fcukocd Youāre in a cycle that only you can break. I sincerely believe and mean it when I say that you are not the thing youāre afraid of.
@sjwmzn2023 Itās okay itās just so exhaustingš
@Fcukocd Itās hard to take the advice thatās itās just ocd and anxiety because ocd has itās sneaky way of creating a tunnel vision during a spiral that makes us forget itās ocd and dwell on what if itās true. I no longer struggle but experience this theme and some days i am thinking like what if itās true. Donāt beat yourself too hard. It takes time and effort to get to start catching ocd whenever itās spiraling
@Fcukocd Having a groinal response doesnāt mean that youāre attracted to that gender. For me, I have groinal responses to pretty much every aspect of my anxiety/ocd. Things that arenāt even sexual in nature. Itās a miscommunication between your brain and your groin and itās not a reflection of your sexuality. I know that reading all of this wonāt change your brain, but maybe it will allow you to extend yourself some grace.
@sjwmzn2023 Iāll try and remember that, all I wanna do rn is cryš
Take some deep breaths. Try to ground yourself as best as possible. Once youāre comfortable remind yourself that you are not in complete control of your thoughts. Your thoughts are not a reflection of who you are. And you will get through this. I truly feel for you and know what this is like. Iām sorry, but you will get through this. I am proud of you.
I don't really know much I just know I'm suffering everyday
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didnāt control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like Iām starting to lose hope again:( I canāt take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and Iām never going to be happy again.
Iām really depressed and lately life has been really really bad. Everyday, itās like something horrible happens and my mind tries to make me forget it. My family life isnāt that great and everything is super tough for me. Itās like when I get better I go like a million steps back. I ended up doing something bad today:ended up becoming aggressive to myself and caused some ouchies) it hurt a lot and right now Iām really stressed and have been for a while. My mental well being has been extremely bad these days. I have obsessive compulsive disorder but for me itās decently strong so itās hard to contain, Complex-trauma, depression, and possibly ADHD. Itās an awful mix. My life is a living hell everyday. Iām not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself to Myself that Iām getting better when in reality Iām in so much pain, itās like Iām barely doing anything at all. Please, help, Iāve been acting not like myself. I want to live, even though itās extremely difficult too and I rather much not be here, but people are counting on me and I donāt want to fail them. How can I convince myself to stay a little longer when I am fully burnt out from trying to get better? Iām in so much pain. I donāt know how to even deal with it. Iām so lost, I might lose it more, and Iām scared for myself. I feel like I donāt even deserve help. Iām so mentally unwell I canāt even think correctly. I hate everything and just want to sleep forever and ever. Iām so numb to it all. I donāt feel anything anymore.
