can anyone read my previous posts

@ben123 THANK YOU!!!!! i seem to have nothing i enjoy really, all i can talk or think about is everything i said in the post you just read, i talk about what im going through 24/7 and i have nothing else to talk about. i feel like this isn’t ocd and that i have a mental illness no one has ever had. or the edible changed my brain chemistry.

@ben123 and yes, i’ve heard of erp but i have so many subtypes that idk if erp would work for me.

@Anonymous None of those are true. OCD always makes us feel unique but it’s OCD. I promise you

@Anonymous It definitely would. It is the treatment. You aren’t alone. I have many subtypes and ERP helps me.

@ben123 you think i’m violating the guidelines somehow?

@Anonymous I think they just prefer everyone to make shorter replies

@ben123 thank you for responding! i’ve been like this since april 14th after i took the edible and it still hasn’t gone away.

@ben123 what are you going through?

@Anonymous I have so many themes but at the moment it’s ROCD and the feeling I need to confess. The anxiety is awful but o am not going to confess - I am not going to ruminate - I am continuing with my day whilst having terrible anxiety. It works. I’m not out of it yet but I know response prevention will get me out of it. But I’ve had basically all the themes - worried I’m a P, I’m racist, I’m going to be arrested, I’ve got a terrible illness, I’m going to go to the toilet in theatres - the list is endless. I even had religious OCD and I’m not religious.

@ben123 i can definitely relate! i am starting to think that mine is not ocd and that i’m in permanent psychosis, or i’m a sociopath or psychopath. right now i feel like im a terrible person and that im everything morally wrong. i dont know how to stop talking about my ocd because its all i talk about and its made everyone uncomfortable and tired of it being the only thing i talk about and i confess my worst thoughts to everyone because it feels like i have to. is that normal for ocd?

@Anonymous So you have OCD. You aren’t in psychosis or a sociopath. First step is to accept you have OCD. Secondly you do need to stop telling people about it. Only you can make change. Talking to people is a compulsion. And we have to stop compulsions

@ben123 Confessing is very normal. You have to stop. It’s hard but I promise you can

@ben123 ben you a real one bruh

@Anonymous I’ve just had it a long time so feel I understand it well even if I’m still struggling with it. Its a mental illness that we can help but we have to commit to the work and not wait - start doing it now

@ben123 you’re absolutely right, we got this!

@ben123 really? there should be

@ben123 it’s from 5 weeks ago

@ben123 i will post it in the comments. maybe it’s too long.
