I really appreciate those advice for people who's suffering from OCD like i do but it makes me annoyed that those sentences kept repeating in my brain and it feels like there is pressure on my head, am i only one like this?
This is 100% NORMAL for OCD. Those sentences started in my head when I was 14. I had no idea what they were. They looped over and over for every waking minute of the day. Later, I learned that those sentences were part of the clinical diagnosis of OCD. In fact, those looping sentences are defined as the "obsessions." They are actually the "obsessive" part of "obsessive compulsive Disorder". So, the sentences in your head are normal for OCD. Every person with OCD experiences them, unfortunately. What do you do about them? In short, you ignore them. You can't do anything about them. So your job is to just allow them to be there (like bad background noise) while you simply go on with your life. This can be hard because the sentences are usually scary, and they are usually associated with us fearing scary things. But we have to take the step of FAITH that everything will be okay if we just let the sentences run wild in our heads. Don't try to fix them. Don't try to stop them. Just keep doing the dishes, watching movies, spending time with people, and living life. The sentences lose power when we stop FEARING them. We can talk more!!!! I'm right here to listen!!!! Let me know how you are doing
Hii, thanks so much this help me and also im trying do this, but yeah it is so hard. This past few days my OCD was acting so bad that it made me feel pressure on my head, exhausted. I tried the things they told me what to do and yeah it did work but i still feel anxious maybe it will past and ill do better for managing it next time
@heartt And also i am undiagnosed, i couldn't get a therapist since i couldn't afford itš„²
@heartt Maybe nocd can recommend a therapist that will charge you only what you can afford. I think Catholic charities will do therapy on sliding scale. I don't know if they do ERP. There are free support groups on here. I don't know if you have to have a therapist on nocd to access
