When ocd hits me it’s like I try to take myself all the way back to the feeling of before I had ocd. I constantly want that feeling of when I didn’t have it. It’s like I lose everything I know now and put my mindset in the way it used to be and I lose who I am now
And that’s a trap, you’ve gotta give no attention to ocd. So it loses its power/ grip/ importance. The way you beat ocd is by thinking like you don’t have ocd. You thinking in this mindset is keeping you stuck. (This is coming from a friendly place). Just try to adopt the mindset your normal! What you’re going through is normal. It’s harmless. And that your working on a better version of the person you were before. You keep viewing ocd as a problem….it stays a problem
@Embo20 Thankyou!
“What’s wrong with me” “I need to fix myself” “I need to be the person o was before”. 3 of the countless mental compulsions you can partake in. It’s tough. It really is. But consistent work is the way through. You got this!
@Embo20 Thankyou I appreciate that!
Omg I can relate like you try to bring your old self back watch the same old content ect
@Cupake21211 Yeah I’ll lose myself trying to do old stuff I used to do. thinking my mind will go back to the way it used to be for instance blaming it on smart phones saying I didn’t have it before smart phones so I’ll go without my phone and still deal with ocd almost like trying to recreate my mind
Omg same or now like I used to watch comerical movies and now even if I like realistic my brain won’t try to accept change omg I completely get it and I would think back to my old memories and omg I am glad someone can relate to me 😀
Like recently a few months ago I was having doubts about my voice like hurting like that my voice got damaged and stuff and I so podcasts so I was scared as I love talking and now I know I’m pretty sure it was from lack of water but like that time I couldn’t start obsessing over and wished I could control so my voice didn’t become like that I thought it was damaged and and it originated because I used my voice a bit louder and couldn’t stop obsessing over I wish this like I had something happen before the voice and it hurt me so I could forgot about that moment and would obsess and try to bring myself back to how I was before but yeah I’m good now tho
@Cupake21211 Yes I totally understand that I always go back before it also and it’s like I replay over and over and over the senario in my head trying to see what happened and it’s feels like I lost my mind and trying to get my mind back into that position but in reality I always come back to the now and move on but it’s so hard to do when your mind replays it over and over
Omg I get what you mean
What ocds do you have
Oh nvm you have false memory and perfectionism
It says in your account
Does anyone here feel like they are sensitive or anything idk how to explain
I think I deal with alot of different things with ocd here lately it’s going back to check things then questioning myself
Yeah and are you a girl or boy was just wondering
Guy dealt with it about 19 years
Oh ok I’m a girl
