Eating cookies, vomiting, blocking someone and other things,i feel like my heart and brain is going to explode please tell me what do i need to do to stop it,i used to have other compulsions and i thought the other compulsions were the reason my icd got much worse but now i understand it has nothing to do with the difference of compulsions,i just cant stop it
It’s gonna be ok!! Ur going through it so please be easy on urself. We have ocd compulsions. U do not have to listen to ur ocd, that voice in ur head telling u that u have to eat cookies or block someone is a lie. U have ur own life and own mind and heart to make decisions urself. Remember u don’t have to act on compulsions. I know this with some things I’ve went through with ocd and am trying to fix my compulsions now with another ocd. Please be gentle on urself!! Remember u can make ur own decisions, u don’t have to act on compulsions!! <33
I cant control it, its almost like every compulsion is connected to each other,when it says i have to eat 8 cookies and if i dont it says i have to do the other compulsions again,like a game when u make one mistake u have to do all things over and over again,i know they will eventually go away after i dont act on them but its just so scary my intrusive thoughts are about 🍇 mostly and it says i will 🍇 someone if i dont do compulsions im scared
@Queencard I’m going through praying a lot and sometimes it tells me I have to pray so many times before I get it right but my bf made me realize I’m praying more for my ocd then I was actually to god and that’s when I’m stopping more on praying cause of my compulsion. U don’t have to do those compulsions, I know it’s hard but it will stop at some point I’m so sorry ur going through this! My ocd says the same that I’m gonna harm myself or someone if I don’t do compulsions but u know what that voice is a lie. I didn’t pray another time one night because I was struggling and crying cause I couldn’t get it right so I fell asleep and the next day I was anxious I was gonna do something to myself but you know what I’m still here and I didn’t. Those thoughts are just thoughts. U aren’t gonna do something to someone, the ocd is trying to take something and scare u with it cause of not doing a compulsion. U do not have to do ur compulsions, live ur life and beat ur ocd! It’s gonna be ok just ignore it as much as u can. It’s hard trying to not do a compulsion after giving in so much but I know u can beat ur ocd!!
I used to feel this way too. I’d wake up with no ability to stop the compulsions and my heart would be racing, stomach was turning, all the second I woke up. I was floating through life barely surviving. Then one day I decided to fully give in to ERP and live in the “maybe, maybe not”. My thoughts are all over the place, many themes, but mainly ROCD. Every day I think “maybe my husband is a bad person” “maybe my husband isn’t a good partner” “maybe another man would be better for me” etc… I used to freak out all the time and analyze every single thought. Now I say “maybe my husband is a bad person, maybe he’s not. I don’t need to know right now.” It is so scary at first to say these things because you feel scared that they’ll happen if you acknowledge them as possibilities. The truth is life is just uncertain. We never know what will happen, and most things we cannot control. Analyzing and ruminating and doing compulsions will not stop the events from happening or not happening. It’s so hard to detach from compulsions, but giving in to ERP is the best thing you can do for yourself. Push through the hard parts of it, it will be worth it.
It has to be the most frustrating thing in the world. My OCD is mainly about doing physical compulsions in order to make sure that nothing bad happens to myself or my loved ones The really annoying thing is that by doing these compusions a bad thing is already happening because it absolutely dominates my life and stops me from living properly I've tried ERP and it didn't help
Hi this might sound crazy and I apologize I just want a little help sometimes with food I feel as if I need to finish something or else I feel I go crazy I tryed throwing away the food but that made me feel worse and I ended up taking it out of the trash and back in the refrigerator... it wasn't like it was on anything gross just on top of paper bags like the tippy top of the trash no cap and Im just panicking... this has happened to me before but its so distressing and my brain feels so foggy panicking... any help on this
