@getwellsoon hello!! :D nice to see you again, I’m sorry to hear you’re still dealing with the thought but again remember that if it’s causing you this much guilt it’s most likely not true. ☺️ But oh no D: I’m sorry that sucks

@saltedcrabs it’s just if i lose him because of this i will never forgive myself and my family makes me feel worse because when i get like this they try to shove religion down my throat. i can’t even tell them about my boyfriend because they would be against him ): it breaks my heart i never want to become like them ever

Hey.. i know it can be really hard going through a bad time with ocd.. can you try actually answering questions and try to find the roots? Try to face your fears more.. like if you are scared of losing someone that u love try answering thr thought like: Yeahhh i will kill em all.. it may look fake but its better than reacting with fear... And things will get better for you... Just dont stop trying even if u feel u are stuck in it forever... Keep pushing and reach the goal... If you want any help or have any questions i am more than happy to help you if im able too ;D stay strong ocd warrior

@getwellsoon honestly I think it’ll be good erp, it is scary at first but the more you say things like that the easier it gets

@saltedcrabs TW for this just in case but I struggle with pocd and pure ocd, and because of that I mentally wished to both be a bad person and a pedophile for erp and I did feel a bit scared at first but eventually forgot all about it. Remember that thoughts are just thoughts no matter how scary they are :-)

@saltedcrabs that was my first serious theme ): it’s what caused all this. basically the starting thought. don’t know if i’m brave enough to do that ): it feels like my thoughts jump into more and more thoughts. they aren’t as intense now but they still pop up but the point is that sounds intense. you’re so strong

@getwellsoon man that’s horrible :( ocd is the worse, honestly I don’t think anyone’s ready to do erp but that’s exactly why you should do it. You don’t have to say something as intense as me this early on but just wishing for something bad in general could be a good exposure n then you can work your way up from what gives you the least anxiety to the most. That’s an exposure my therapist taught me :-) also tysm!! you are too don’t give up

You claim your sister is the only person you can talk to freely, but it doesn’t sound like your sister wants to have that role. While she may not be going about things the right way, it sounds like she’s trying to set a boundary with you and I think it’s important to listen. She feels overwhelmed and unable to help. And that’s fair. She’s not a professional mental health care worker, and a professional is the more appropriate person for you to unload freely on. It can be quite scary, frustrating, and depressing for our support systems when we try to lean on them for things they simply aren’t capable of providing us. I’m not saying you can’t still talk with and have a close relationship with her. But it sounds like the relationship may be veering into codependency and that you’d both benefit from you adding a professional into your life who can listen to you and offer qualified advice on a regular basis. If you can’t afford to see an OCD specialist (id highly recommend at least calling a few to see if they offer a sliding scale fee option), a low cost support group would also be a better outlet. That way you’re talking to people who are also seeking treatment and you’re having those group discussions being facilitated by a professional still.

TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

i think i gave up, every time i try to calm down, practice self-compassion or accept uncertainty something worse happens that seems to confirm my event. it feels too, too real even now, it's getting worse with each passing day. i'm really scared, it's hard for me to enjoy the few good moments i have with everyone because now i'm convinced that i'm a horrible person, i know everyone will hate me when they find out, i feel like i'm lying to them. i'll lose everything. i feel like my life is genuinely ending, i'll lose all the good things i worked hard for.

I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
