Please someone talk to me I need someone to talk to about this

I’m scared I’m going to become my OCD. It feels like it’s taking over me and turning me into that person. I have cried so much cause of it. I hate this so much.

@annehatesocd No, OCD can't replace you. I understand it feels like this but these feelings are just illusions hiding the real. Believe in what you are, only you know really know that. It's okay to be down but make sure you try your best to get up.

@Believe But what if I don’t know what I really i am? I don’t know what to believe anymore :(

@annehatesocd You know. You can't see it but deep inside you know that. See that believe in yourself and you can see new helpful ways as well.

@Believe But “deep inside” I still don’t know. Ocd has taken over me

@annehatesocd Have you ever done ERP?

@Believe No, I’ve tried but I don’t really know how to do it on my own

@annehatesocd The last thing in ERP is to accept what is gained after fighting these obsessions. We gain the truth after it. You need to face yourself/OCD in order to reveal the truth.

@Believe What if the truth is the thoughts I’ve been obsessing about ??

@annehatesocd This is OCD speaking. This fear is what the energy it needs.

@Believe Oof I know. Kind of? I’m scared it’s not ocd but I know that’s common. I just need help

@annehatesocd If you can't reach to a doctor or a psychologist, ERP can help. I recommend reaching for these.

@Believe I’m trying to rn

@annehatesocd You wanna talk? If so, my Snapchat id:- believ_able

Yes but idk how to do erp I’ve tried but I just don’t know how

@JS0406 No I don’t

@annehatesocd They will guide you through it

@JS0406 I know I just can’t find one my family is awful

@JS0406 Same my family does believe me but they don’t think it effects me as much as it does. I just can’t fight it much longer I’m really struggling

@JS0406 My therapist said to not get another ocd therapist and just her, but idk cause I’m not sure if she knows how to do erp cause that’s for ocd therapist

I live in California and I know I’m willing to take it. Anything to get better.

@JS0406 I’m trying I’m under 18 so it’s rlly hard

@annehatesocd I’m only 17

@avaitla16 I didn’t tell my parents about the thoughts I just told them I want to see a therapist but they said I dont need one

@avaitla16 My parents know I have intrusive thoughts. 4 out of 5 people in my family have ocd, so they kind of understand it. They just don’t know how hard and bad it is for me, and they don’t know the details of the thoughts just that they’re sexually intrusive. But they’re getting me on meds in about three weeks and stuff

@avaitla16 I also have social anxiety which doesn’t help so I don’t really have good social skills anyway and need to be really really close to people to share things

@avaitla16 Yeah I think sharing things face to face is harder
