Can you try reacting the thoughts differently? Like when u get thoughts like cursing someone, except of reacting like oh what if i really did it... React like yea i did it and it was awesome... It feels weird at first but its normal.. u just need to learn your mind to dont react with fear! Stay strong things will get easyer
Yeah I'd say this the idea of exposing oneself to face an OCD and that's what I do but sometimes it's still complicated for example I bought something to someone I care about and I was really happy to buy this because I'm sure she's gonna love it. But I, as usual when I make a gift to someone I care about, begin to think bad things while I was wearing the package. So I know I have to "wish" (not really whish but acting like I want to wish to expose myself) but then I'm like you know, like I cursed the gift while I was having bad thoughts touching it. Or not forcefully cursed but either cursed or dirty it. Then it's like I don't even wanna make the gift anymore. it's sad because at first the intention is really good.
You are right.. it can be tricky i hope u get through this man i really do :)
Hello. I also suffer from terrible pure o. I actually just spend 3 hours on the same pray over and over again. Once I'm in a spiral, there is no getting out till it feels right. Which can be hours of the compulsion. I only wonder what the rest of the day is going to be like if I'm already this way from 6 o'clock in the morning. I do think that things will get better I stay focused on my meds and reading books on OCD but it's very hard I understand what you're going through.
Thanks for sharing, together stronger ?. Why do you do your prays ? Can you enter a little bit more in detail the way I did it or not ? Stay strong and don't forget your subconscious is talking to you but not with words. It's kinda sign language you know what I mean? You can "curse" people but that's not the real message. The real message from your subconscious can be "stop trying to control everything, feel this in order to understand one day or another you will have to let it go and accept that you can control everything. Have you already tried to let your bad thinks express themselves? That's why I would like you to deepen your message. It matters to me to have pics allies ?.
pics = POCD ?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, also known as the disease of doubt, has a very crippling effect on an individual's ability to function at its worst. This seems to happen especially when the individual's obsessive-compulsive disorder is thematically related to violence, sexually inappropriate thoughts or other taboo topics. When the vicious circle progresses far enough, a person no longer necessarily knows himself at all, is not sure of who they are or what they want. I believe that the background of obsessive-compulsive disorder, like the background of mental health problems in general, is a feeling of disgust and revulsion towards some thought, scenario or self. The way in which obsessive-compulsive disorder manifests itself, especially in the so-called "pure o" form, is very complex, because the individual disgust-inducing thematicity manifests itself not only in thoughts but also in the form of feelings, temptations and physical sensations. In some cases, however, this goes so far that the person's beliefs about his own integrity begin to decay and the feeling of hope and the meaning of life disappear. The idea can be clarified analogously to Nietzsche's thoughts on belief systems. As a result of obsessions and other repulsive thoughts, feelings and temptations, a person's belief system about his own integrity begins to collapse, but when the belief system collapses - the belief in that belief system itself collapses as well. When it no longer seems meaningful or possible to believe in the realization of a familiar and safe belief system, there is also no hope for anything better. So there is no longer even hope left for a meaningful whole of self, which drives a person to deep anxiety and depersonalization, which in turn begins to displace a person from social relationships and from all meaningful activities that a person is used to enjoying and creating meaning for his life based on his own complete self-concept, which is no longer felt to exist. Any thoughts or similar experiences on this?
I'm going to delete this in a bit because of my ocd, but any kind words and suggestions before I do, are appreciated. I feel so defeated, I'm so drained. I practice ERP everyday, I can't do it constantly, I'm just suffering so bad with ocd. I've had it my whole life for as long as I can remember but recently it's got horrendous. Is anyone else suffering this bad? Has anyone else had it your whole life?
I have severe contamination ocd. I even try to avoid touching people bcz i tgink they might not be clean and if i touch something i feel like i need to take shower and wash my clothes and all other stuff. And almost everytime i am just thinking how to avoid touching contaminated thing and what of i come in contact with those things. How will be i be able to repeat the cleaning process all over its soooo hard. If i try exposure it makes my depression even worse so i just do compulsions again. Is everyone else suffering from contamination ocd? I feel like a need a break from my own thoughts and want my brain to calm.
