That is a coincidence :) my name is actually Sofia! This might sound a bit stupid but I’m a bit worried about my cat. She normally sleeps in the kitchen as she’s too hyper to sleep with. She had a vaccination the other day and since then, she has been sleeping a lot more than usual. She barely left the house today, and spent the day curled up in a ball. I know I shouldn’t be worried as her body is just recovering from the vaccine, but my ocd is telling me that it’s more than that. I asked my mum if my cat could sleep with me as I was a bit stressed and I could sleep (I didn’t say y I was stressed) but she said no and that the only reason I can’t sleep is because I had some Coke. I don’t know what to do? Why are you anxious? X

Just to throw this out there apparently there is a legit support group called Cats and OCD... I think I found it on the IOCDF website.

Never fun ? Anything specific fuelling your anxiety Sof? (P.S: My name is actually Sophie and my sister calls me Sof! Just thought it was a funny coincidence ☺️ ) X

Ha what a strange coincidence! I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through that Sof! It’s times like this that this app is so helpful ☺️ I have contamination OCD and I’m anxious because I’m starting school again tomorrow after a week off and being around so many people, especially as at the moment so many people are sick, is really scary to me ? Flamewheel, Cats and OCD sounds like a brilliant support group to me ? X

At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)

Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
