I’m heartbroken now after finding out video game game character I like just got a girlfriend out of nowhere and now I cannot handle having anything to do with game anymore. I grew attached to him since playing this game for years and I have an obsession with him but I’m writing here because instead of trying to figure out how to move on but my hocd is making me feel worse by telling me I don’t like him or guys in general and making me feel worse. I can’t even deal with my real problem now and hocd is taken over. How do I deal with this

Stay strong please use the stop sign technique google search stop sign technique

@Russ1989 Thank you. I just am going out my mind my ocd is clouding what I’m really upset about and it’s just a nightmare. We deserve to have good things in our lives now this ocd hell

@neveragain86 Yeahh i know ocd steals alot of our lives

@Russ1989 Yes and when you think sbout all the time wasted it makes you angry like it’s been stolen away. I thought my thoughts were getting better after all this time but now for some reason they are worse

@neveragain86 I recovered from my harm false memory internet ocd and it came back 2 months ago and has been kicking my butt daily

@Russ1989 That horrible when you think your getting better than it gets worse. It’s just messed up I actually feel like pure ocd is thousand times worse than handwashing type ocd cause you could never stop your brain

@neveragain86 Yeah i believe i have harm ocd with pure o attached to it

@neveragain86 Just a heads up: it's really not helpful to say that you think your kind of of OCD is worse. Everyone feels that their obsessions are the most scary. OCD severity is measured by level of dysfunction, not content of obsessions

@Russ1989 It’s horrible

@neveragain86 Yupp it really is painful

@ocdillustrated Yea I know thanks.I had all kinds of ocd including hand washing and having to touch things certain time a i was just saying my opinion is I thought it’s harder to deal i with

@neveragain86 Yeah thoughts are very tough to deal with especially images that pop up in mind that is attached to the ocd fear

@Russ1989 I also think it’s messed up that finding the right therapist is hard. None of the therapists I’ve been to know about my theme of ocd and it makes me afraid to tell them

@neveragain86 Yeah i completely understand. A free therapist in florida once taught me the stop sign technique

@Russ1989 I see people talk about erp but in my experience mos therapist don’t even know about it. I think they talk about stop sign therapy in the book brain lock something similar

@neveragain86 That's true. Most don't know about it. Which is why most aren't qualified to treat ocd
