So does anyone’s OCD not let them calm down? Because maybe because I’m trying to figure this out too much, but I’m always thinking I have random words that keep repeating in my head. Please help me science.

Do you think the meds helped you reach a threshold of common sense? I feel this strange urge to be perfect all the time, and somehow I feel as if I might have depleted all chemicals in my brain that regulate that balance...My mind has always been in the over control setting so much so that even snapping out of it seems like a fantasy at this point. I’ll say that I’m seriously considering alternative meds at this point to restore entropy-maybe increase it.

I feel you man. It’s insane. Sometimes I wonder if this is normal. But I’m also aware that as long as we’re still alive, there’s hope.

@mao I keep telling myself that since I beat it once I can do it again but it came back so much stronger

@nnickerson1776 If it helps a little, my CBT therapist recommended “Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts,” but dude keep in touch-we can restore our sanities somehow we just have to be a little more patient.

@nnickerson1776 Part of my obsession is with psychedelics because I feel like that is a way to restore our brains default settings, but it’s highly marginalized by my CBT therapist and psychiatrist.

@mao My main thing stems from my inner battle with trying to leave religion. Mental illness and religion go together like Coca Cola and mentos. It’s like I’m destined to be trapped in this loop

@nnickerson1776 I hear you. Try to do more productive stuff. I don’t know if meds worked for you, but if it hasn’t, I would just keep staying positive.
