BRAIN DUMP

I’m scared my ROCD has finally done it, and it’s ending in divorce. Please pray for me

Hey! I'm feeling frustrated bc some intrusive thoughts are ramping up today. I'm not really sure why, other than maybe because it's during my cycle? But it's frustrating to feel like I'm losing months of progress and it seems out of my control. How are you doing? ❤️

I have pocd and it sucks because I have siblings and I love them but the ocd tries and associates that familial love with sexual attraction and then will make sensations in my body due to fear and it can be so quick sometimes that I think its me but ik its not!! Omfg I hate it, thanks for this space!

Hii <3 Thank you for allowing us this space. Today I’ve been struggling with guilt for having insulting intrusive thoughts about my loved ones. But I’m trying to follow advice that it’s not my fault and it’s just a symptom of OCD

Thanks for this thread. Idk I’ve just been scared lately. Anything can happen at any time to anyone and one of my worst fears is losing someone I love and OCD surrounding death and dying has been scaring me recently. Feels like I can barely live life. Im so scared of the inevitable, I wish it didn’t exist. My ocd has been on a good one lately. Feels like my medicine is barely working sometimes

Thank you, I am just replaying over and over how I handled a parenting situation involving my partners ex. I cannot help but think I didn't do the right thing. That I have catastrophically messed up the current custody issues. That my partner will be affected so much that he'll leave the world. I know I did what I could. That's all I can do. I cannot be certain of the outcome. Imagining the worst situation is making it worse. Trying to relax, unexpectedly have the day off. Feeling like I have to do something but the thing I need is to accept the situation and move forward best I can. I tend to drink, smoke weed, binge mental health and psychology YouTube videos to distract myself. I am trying really hard to not do those. They do not seem to help. It's ok to not feel ok. I should eat food and drink water and maybe take a bath. I have yet to have my first therapy session. I'm trying to use the information I've learned researching OCD to make the best decisions for how I deal with this. Just feel sick to my stomach, stuck. Responsible for everything bad that may happen.

I’m going through a horrible time with being convinced that I’m attracted to teenage boys specifically even though I know that i dont want to do anything sexual with them at all in the slightest. The only thing thats making me anxious is physical looks, like i will see someone like an actor or someone in real life and recognize that they are aesthetically pleasing/ pretty or handsome, and automatically my brain associates that with attraction. I can’t tell anymore and it’s so hard I’ve never had this issue my whole life

I'm frustrated because even after being cleared of the diseases I was afraid of, they found something else at an appointment and now I'm spiraling again about the worst case scenario. Just proves reassurance does not cure OCD. The relief didn't last. :( I've spent so much money on medical tests. Just tired of being scared of my body.

Hi all. First time poster. Last couple of days have been extremely trying on my mental health. Trying to be okay with the uncertainty of what has been inflicting this pain is truly the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. Especially since all of this only just popped up a month ago. Thanks for having me lol
