Community discussion: Your message to OCD

Stop hindering me from using the gifts God gave me.

Some not very nice words

Leave me alone

Maybe you’re right and maybe you’re not, doesn’t truly matter

I would tell ocd that it can stop all the false alarms. I would explain how its got it all wrong and back to front, and how it can stop and never come back again

Get the F out of my head

Get thee behind me

I don't have time for you, I've got better things to do

You won one battle, but I'm winning the war.

Nothing. I refuse to give it my attention. I have a life to live.

i understand you are worried that i'm a bad person or everything that i do leads to that but trust me i am not a bad person and i don't need to replay conversations or constantly ask for validation from people to know that. it's ok to make mistakes that doesn't make me bad it makes me human. please let off a little bit and let me be ok to fail

Why do you keep doing this to me? What's wrong with you?

Buddy. Pal. I know you have a lot to say. But please, give me five minutes. Please. Just five. Chill out and shut it for like five minutes. Sleeping doesn’t count.

You are not in control, I am.

Get out of my chest! You are a lie!

As much as you think you're caring about me, I want to trust myself to care for myself.

Eff off

Leave me alone!

You don’t even matter bro

I would say: “Have you heard of NOCD? It really helped me out immensely. Perhaps book a consultation and see if you are suffering from OCD.” Then it would POOF… disappear!

You are a heavy burden to bear and have made my life almost unbearable yet I never quit.

Stop the illusions. We are safe.

If you’re this good at confusing me how wrong things are. Why can’t you use your powers to tell me how good I am and how right things are and can be. Good intentions OCD , but your delivery is just backwards

thanks for ruining my entire life and potential GANGGANGGANGGANGGANGGGGG😝🤟🔥💯💯

"Hi buddy, I know you're trying to help me, and you were created to help me survive when i was little but you don't need to anymore. I appreciate your help and you wanting to just protect me but I don't think these methods are helpful anymore. Id like for you to try and collaborate with me here and work towards recovery. Okay?"

Why me?

You don’t scare me anymore.

OCD, you may feel stronger when I’m vulnerable, but I’m winning by learning to manage you better and discipline my response to you.

"Girl omg shut up"

Why must you torment me with your own creative genius? Isn’t this my mind?

Please allow me to let others help me out without having it to be done perfectly my way and only my way

LEAVE ME ALONE

I appreciate your concern, but you need to relax. Take a moment to calm down, and then *flick* it to outer space. 😸 Let me trust myself.

Kick it to the moon!

Get the heck out of my head and never come back

Seriously, F off.

Why did you make my life so difficult to understand myself? You changed my world, you changed the way i processed, You caused panic, you caused fear, you caused confusion, you caused cries for help, you caused a mess, you make everyone feel unworthy, destructive, scared, not want to live. Why would you want to cause so much harm??? You are attacking everyone’s values. Honestly It’s okay because i learned a way to live and cope and doing better than ever and so will everyone else.

Something not particularly kind

The first home you had was a burning one. Some houses in the world burn. Some forests in the world burn. You were burned. People are burned. We Scar. We heal. We now know steps to put out a fire. We now know how to avoid the embers that get left behind. We are uniquely fire creatures on a uniquely fire planet. —S. J. Pyne

Go away! I have other things to think about and do! Your getting on my nerves!

You need to chill out my gosh lol

Leave me alone and let me function!!

I appreciate that you want to keep me safe but you need to let me take the reins more often. I want to trust my body and not be afraid of everything.

Just chill, none of that has even happened. You need to pay attention to what is actually happening. And if there's nothing happening and you're bored go do something you like! You can't just sit there planning for the next problem. I have a life and I deserve to live it and not worry all the time

It’s okay, you can rest

I will body slam you OCD

thank you for trying to protect me and for being there when no one was we are safe now

Quit hatin on me & let me live my life ✨

Cool story bro now take a back seat I’m driving.

Shoo fly, don't bother me

Shhhh

That the false images and focus on details about my fiancee doesn't and will never change my love for her ever❤️❤️❤️

I would look over, smile sweetly, and say, “oh, I’m so sorry. You are not welcome at this party. There’s the door. You can see your way out. Oh, but you are welcome to never come back.”

You might be affecting me, you might not be, you’ll never know for sure. Sucks, doesn’t it?

Id probably try to befriend it

F off

Fuck you stupid bitch!

I'd tell it thank you for trying to keep me safe but I've got it now. I don't need it's help anymore.

I wouldn't talk to it at all! It's never listened to what I have to say anyway

Get off my lawn

I don't want to talk to OCD at all. If I could, I would violently kill OCD.

Leave me alone long enough to see how normal feels

As distressing as these signals from you are, they CANNOT hurt me. They are all in my head. You cannot control me. I will not let you control my life.

I wanna make it think it’s irrelevant. Like just “whatever dude” as if it’s some annoying scam call.

I don't know if we can curse here, lol. I will just think it.

I would remind it what a beautiful thing it is to be reading these comments and that i am not as alone as it makes me feel.🫶

You’re SUCH a time waster! You have taken so much of my energy and life, and I don’t need you anymore!

Try as hard as you want - my sparkle can no longer be dimmed ✨

Get out of my head. I’m done dealing with you and I don’t care about you.

Thank you for trying to keep me safe, but I got this now. You rest. Bup bup bup!!!! NO BUTS!

I know you’re just trying to help me, to keep me and my loved ones safe, but we don’t have to live in fear anymore. We can’t control fate, and we don’t have to try, life is meant to have risks and those risks are worth it to be happy. So you will keep trying to keep me safe and I will keep trying to ignore you, to show you that it’s going to be okay.

Can you actually leave me alone i honestly don't care about all those things i wanna act some physical things that are actually there in real life and not dodge and process thoughts that even you're not satisfied with, what's your limit? When do you actually stop?

I hate you

Stop making my head hurt after I go to a doctor's appointment. I am not sick why am I acting like my head hurts. Stop with me muscle tension.

Be quiet!! 🤐

I f”&$ing hate you!

I hate you , i would actively fight and destroyed I’m a mother of OCD Son

I would tell it to shut up!!!!

First I imagine my OCD as this huge monster but I would beat it to the ground - saying " You will eventually lose your power over me!!" And then hopefully there would be inexplicable joy and freedom for me!!

Hey OCD! Even though everyone has struggles, life is pretty chill :-)

Kill me or release me parasite, but do not waste my time with talk - Arbiter, Halo 3

Leave me alone

Why do you make me the bad guy. I’m trying so hard

Can I at least have answers at the end of all these questions

Thank you, but no thank you 👎

You don't own me and I am smarter than you are

Sit the hell down and shut up. Nobody asked you. 😂

I love you for wanting me to be safe, but you’re hurting me this way. We are okay.

Go 🤬🤬🤬🤬yourself

Stop ruining my life!!! There. Plain and simple.

YOU ARE A *beeeeeeeeeeep* AND I WANT YOU TO *beeeeeeeeeeep*

“Shut up!” or “I’m in control here!” — and if it said something back to me, I’d reply “maybe you said something, maybe you didn’t! I can’t hear you over this ERP.” 💪🏻

STOP! I don't want to think those thoughts! I won't think those thoughts! I'll deal with them later! And, you are NOT me, and I am NOT you -you are just some blip in my life, SCRAM!

I wouldn’t say anything. Thoughts and feelings are normal. Your intolerance to them is why you have ocd.

I would tell my OCD how much of an inconvenience it's been to my life and probably square up.

easy: girl shut up

Go sit down!! And mind your business 😤

Why you gotta ruin my happy moments bro?

You’re a blessing and a curse. Thank you for allowing me to deeply think about my interests, but to HELL with you for making it hard to break away from old habits and bombarding me with compulsive thinking and bad memories!! 🤬

I know that you’re trying to protect me, but you’re actually making my life harder. I get it, my amygdala is activated, you’re doing your thing. But I’m okay. Go away for a while lol

I'd tell it to shut the #$^%$ up. I really....REALLY...would.

You’re not the boss of me

You are not me

Why me ? And don’t tell me you knew I could handle the torture !

Exactly , I often want to be perfect , but my ocd makes me the opposite ! So frustrating especially even people you love , make you feel like shit . Because they don’t understand . So I’m thankful for this group , way more personal than chat g b t telling me what I want to hear !

OCD sucks and really is too time consuming . Can take over one's life. At first, felt misunderstood but later on in my therapy ( although there is more work to be done), it feels good to understand OCD more!!!!!

I have a poem for this!Called: What to Say to OCD OCD just let me be You bring a lot of trouble Your always there for me Even though I don’t want ya OCD your intrusive thoughts Intrigue me In a way I do not like So OCD just let me be Before I freak out

Why do you think making life harder will keep me safe . And not letting my feelings out will keep me safe . Not feeling in control will keep me safe .

Leave me alone go away

You dont and cant know everything. Maybe it will be all bad maybe it wont. Maybe somewhere in between. It doesnt really mattet

Fuck off

Calm the hecc down and up the shut!

Idk I’d tell it to fuck itself with a stick cus it’s annoying asl😭

Dear OCD, I hope all the Oreos you ever dunk into milk instantly fall apart, you deserve no joy in this life.

What did I do to deserve this?!

Go bother someone else

I’d say I hate u OCD and ur actually the worst

Go find something safe to do and stop bothering me every 5 minutes

Get outta my head!

Go eff yourself!

Please leave me alone 😔

Leave me the F alone

Well I do talk to it and I usually reassure it but sometimes I really do be like stfu 😂😭

Please stop its enough

Hello… why are you rude

Just let me alone

“Get out of my head”

stop hurting me im tired of what you do to me.

You can leave now

'Go f*ck yourself'

OCD, I hate you. You tell me lies, give me compulsions, and make me worry day after day. So, we aren’t really friends… so GET OUT

Can you at least meet me half way?

It's ok, we're safe. I know we used to be performance evaluated on everything, but we're loved now, even if we mess up. We can let go of that tension. We'll be ok.

Please go away. You are ruining my life so fuck off .

Go away!

I would say I appreciate that it’s trying to protect me, but the things it’s doing are not helpful

"you are a lie, and I would appreciate if you would please stop trying to force your thoughts and feelings on me"

Your comments are annoying so SHUT UP

I’d tell OCD “You have tried to keep me safe for long enough. You’ve done your job and too well, to be honest. Shut up and move on!”

Fu

Sometimes you are nice because you help me to do things well but sometimes you stop me from doing other things.

NO!

May I please have my life back. And f&ck off.

Eff off or leave me alone

Leave me the f alone

id tell it to SHUT IT’S ANNOYING BUTT UP!! let me live damnit! you’re not the one living these experiences, so you have no right to hinder and control how I as a human live!

I would tell her that it’s okay to have imperfections. Skin doesn’t have to be smooth to be okay.

No one asked you 😤

For the longest time me, my family, and everyone thought you were “normal” anxiety, and you’re not and I’m so…confused I’m new to dealing with you, but I’m going to attempt to understand you and attempt to get you under control

F U. OCD. You will not hold me captive.

Fu

Do not attack things I care about the most.

Be quiet

Shut your mouth and leave me alone
