I am currently working on my fear of having suicidal ideation. ERP has helped me tremendously with this fear.
Currently (and have been) working on fear of death, probably one of the hardest OCD fears to overcome 😢
Yes me too
@Oopsdontthinkaboutthefuture Sorry you’re going through this too
@ccd446 Same
@Mia🍙🥐🐈⬛🐽 I hate this for us, but at least we’re not alone
@ccd446 Are you Christain? If so just remember that you will go to heaven! If not I would be privileged to talk to you about the Bible and God!
Currently it dealing with the sensation of turbulence on a plane.
Being alone.
I am currently working on fear of failure.
I'm currently facing separation anxiety
Currently facing my fear of confronting people and not being a people pleaser.
Currently working on: harm/suicidal OCD, fear of losing control, fear of going crazy, etc. It’s been so good for several months, but I’m in a bit of a setback. Practicing I-CBT and ERP with my therapist is helping. Also DARE and radical acceptance.
@jakemdavis Same brotha I’m right there with ya 🤙🏽
Facing life
Trying not to crashout everyday because I always think the worst things can happen to people I love. And I literally can’t move sometimes
Out living my meager savings. Not being able physically work a job that will hire me as an “old” person. Not being able to pay rent. My credit is fine but I won’t be able to AFFORD a home - thanks covid era bullshit. Thanks dad talking me out of buying a home twenty years ago when it made sense. Ohhh or eventually eat w/o scavaging or stealing. F’ it. F’ me. Yeah I’m god damn angry. F’ you too. Whatever.
social anxiety
I’m afraid of socializing due to visual tourretic ocd. It makes anything social extremely difficult.
I’m also working on fear of failure
Currently facing my fear of contamination as my middle child recovers from a stomach bug.
contamination and feeling dirty, also perfectionism
The fear of the outcome of an upcoming medical procedure.
Death

Staying away at friends houses, I am scared they will judge me on my habit. I usually tell them that I wear a wig and about the hair pulling first but still.
Fear of not fulfilling the plans God has for my life or of Him being disappointed in me
@joyfilled That’s so real 😭 deep down I know I’m made for so much more, but my reality looks a lot different than what I would like it to be/what I think it should be, so it makes me feel like I’m wasting my life away
@aspiring OCD conqueror You’re doing a good job
@joyfilled We’re trying over here 🥹 and so are you! God loves you so much even if you feel like He’s disappointed in you or you’re not doing enough <3
A fear I won’t make it to my wedding in October.
@cNatDeFrn Congrats!!! I wish you and your partner the best!
Currently with working on cars
Making the wrong career decision
Abandonment and perfectionism
A number of themes. Fear of therapy itself and rumination on how gurus or therapists can be bad people or have bigoted views. It’s a tricky one
Fear that people will think I'm a bad person.
Fear regarding POCD and SOCD (the SOCD is relatively new and it's hard to differentiate between what could be bad or what OCD is telling me to do or worry about) and feeling guilty towards my parents bc it's not that I keep it from them but OCD is trying to convince I'm not telling them everything
Fear of being in the wrong relationship
I’m working through the fear of harm. And it’s getting better 🤙🏽😜 I’m way more social then I’ve been in a long time
Fear of wasting my life away/not living a fulfilled life and that things will never change and fear of being a “worthless” or “useless” person
