i feel like i am or have been experiencing ocd in ways that are almost like rare or in ways that i feel like i can never explained or be understood 😔 if i maybe have another underlying issue or anything 😔
Hi! Let’s chat!
@jasminenicolexe and another example with one of the things i’ve come up with tonight is me convincing myself that i am emotionaless and there being this whole thing behind it where i feel like i am no longer able to have emotions or reaction to things how i normally would 😔 and even thought i know this most likely isn’t true and me knowing that i haven’t just gone emotionless in just a split second like that but how that’s not enough for me to basically act as if i have to where i am scared to get put in situations to where i’ll act as such and just scared that i wont be able to stop doing this like placebo affect in myself 😔 or im so sorry i feel like it’s so complicated to explain 😔
@jasminenicolexe like i was on the phone with a friend and spiraling with all of this to where i was able to recognize and understand how im not emotionless or anything like that and am just dramatic and in my head but still when i would maybe laugh or have a natural reaction to something i would kind of stop myself and immediately get in my head like no that was forced, even when understanding how that thought alone was my ocd and an intrusive thought and how my reaction wasn’t forced but will still act and move accordingly as if the idea is till real and accurate even when i truly understand that its not 😔
Hi…I think if you were emotionless you wouldn’t be worried that you had no emotions. So it seems to me that the fact that you are worried and are asking for advice proves that you have emotions and that you care. It is OCD making you doubt that you have no emotions. Hope this helps.
Suffering from ocd worsens with loneliness. Someone can talk to me please?
Wanted to talk.. Just some ocd discussion not for the reassurance But know more about it... Hope someone will.. Thanks!🙏😇 (Been recovering from so ocd)..! So just wanted to educate myself..
hiiii everyone I’m new to this app :) I’m not sure if anything in here is a trigger for others so I just put a trigger warning js in case 😭 Sooo I’m actually not medically diagnosed with ocd, but I’ve had a very very strong feeling that I do for a few years but I haven’t told anyone abt it, bc i feel like it will sound like I’m trying to fake a mental illness for attention or something. Also, I know it’s bad to self diagnose, but my symptoms just sound a lot like ocddddd ans I want to go into therapy and get diagnosed or something bc I’m pretty sure I have ocd and even if I dont, I know what im experiencing is not really normal 😭 Some of my symptoms: Having like very sexually or violent disturbing images or thoughts pop up in my head that won’t go away and I have to like (this is so hard to explain) block it out in my mind over and over Having to repeat things and count things over and over for example I ALWAYS like I mean ALWAYSSSS. have to repeat “thank you God for today please keep us all safe and healthy” in my head especially when I’m anxious. And I don’t have to repeat it just in my mind either I have to like mouth it outttt. It’s so annoyingggg 🥲 My “magic” numbers are 3 and 10 bc I have 3 sisters and 10 is just the perfect number like it’s so equal. So basically I have to do things three times and if I count over three by accident or even think of it I have to count up until 10 and if the same thing happens I have to keep going until I reach 30 NOT 20 bc that means that bc there’s a 2 in the number one of my sisters will die 🥲 And if I don’t do any of these stuff that my brain tells me to do, you know that feeling when you have a huge itch and it’s itching super bad but you can’t scratch it?? It feels exactly like thatttt and I think that if I don’t do it smth bad will happen even though I know it won’t but like just in case I guess?? 😭😭 When I decide to try to go against these stuff it makes me super super anxious and sometimes, I have random like “attacks” where just nothing is perfect or just right but I can’t fix any of it no matter how many times I count, repeat, or cross it out in my mind, I get so much anxiety and it’s the WORSTTT. I’m not asking for a random person to diagnose me instead of a professional, but I just need advice. Thank you guys 💗 (edited)
