How has your OCD journey been? Have you started therapy? Any progress?

I have OCD since childhood. When I dont have any stressful situations happening in my life then I also dont have noticable OCD symptoms . But when my life gets stressful my OCD is hard to deal with . I had almost every type of symptom . But with age and science progress you have new things that can help you with OCD , such as relaxation exercises - mindfulness exercises , meditation , breathing exercises, Jason Stephenson channel on yt . Tying to get to know yourself better is also good. I did a cognitive behavioral therapy. It helped me to know my limits and something more about my personality. Today my ocd is different more about obsessed thoughts without compulsions, but I think it's from quitting antidepressants , i feel flat but its so much better than it was. You just need to find your way that helps you relax and fix your thoughts to dont care that much about silly stuff :)

I keep it hidden for the most part. Only a few people know. It’s cost me some friendships in the sense that I was so lost in my phobias that I never made time for them and we drifted apart. How do people treat you?

@TheMusicalCow I've been accused of being my worst fear 3-4 times on this app and people never read my posts thoroughly and then treat me like a sexual predator. It's horrible.

@XXXXXXX If you don’t like what your brain thinks about, then that means you aren’t that thing.

@TheMusicalCow Well OCD can't be convinced with just that. Try telling a harm OCD-er that if murder thoughts make them anxious then they can't be a murderer. They wouldn't get better because that's not how OCD works. Living in uncertainty until your mind clears up is how you combat it.

@XXXXXXX Accepting uncertainty doesn’t make the thoughts go away. It just manages the symptoms.
- Date posted

@TheMusicalCow I think the only way to make certain thoughts go away is to know who you are. That is for the more existential types of OCD. Accepting uncertainty works for contamination fears though.

@TheMusicalCow With OCD I don't know who I am. Listen I'm just gonna stick to what my therapist tells me. I appreciate the gesture.

Please precise :) I'm introverted melancholic and I always behave strange with new people . Lots of people think I'm crazy but I'm just slightly eccentric . It's not bad to be different than other people .

No one abandoned me. I never kept up the friendships. People drift apart. I focused more on my phobias and less on socializing.

@XXXXXXX . It will be a bit TMI but I hope it will help . When I have weird OCD theme going on I'm trying to be a lawyer for myself . For example once I was aroused when I saw my cat licking her bum after doing a pop..... gross I know and weird.. after that ,my first thought was : am I a pet pedophile ? Am I a psycho ? What's wrong with me ? I felt like I'm 100 %anxious, 100%disgusting and 100% what the hell is wrong with me . So I tried to help myself and calm my sick thought and I questioned myself . What confirms that I think I am actually a psycho pet pedophile ? I found only this confirmation : -only pet pedophiles get aroused from seeing things like that... - just this thought confirms the thought that I am a psycho. So my other step is :How do I undermine this thought ... ? Quite challenging I know (just find what caused the thought). - was it really because that my cat turns me on and I'm attracted to animals ? - have I ever been watching animal porn to have a climax? -what if it was just because of my pants were too thight ? -what if it's just a stupid thought without sense and I'm getting stupid thoughts from having too much imagination? Haha seems like now anxiety goes down right ? Whats next ? Find the alternative thought ! - I have never been molesting a cat before and I dont really wanna do it so it's just OCD - it's been a long time since I had intercourse so probably I connected licking image of my car to having an intercourse with a human in a very fast way . And . After thinking about this. Anxiety is on level 0%

Xxxxx and dont seek for acceptance in others . The ones who truly wants you in their life will show you support and they will love you and help you . Even when you dont see a friend by your side now I believe there is always someone who will appear in the right time to help you . And be your best friend and get to know your limits . When someone doesnt like you it doesnt mean it's your fault it can mean he's stupid or you just like different things and have different priorities

The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!
