This is My Story and How I Overcame OCD First My Names Adam and I got OCD at age 25 , It all started when my very close friend was moving away for 2 years overseas , we all went out 1 night and had a few drinks and by the end of the night , it was time to say goodbye and then Suddenly I got a thought Kiss Him. The Next day I woke up thinkin why would I think that then My OCD was like Maybe your gay then came the Snowball Effect where it got bigger and Bigger used to get thoughts of naked guys and have to check my groin for reaction for ages ages. Then came Reasurrance and Ruminating like Crazy , Researching , Reading Stories, I used to think as much gay shit as possible that I actually gagged and dry heaved then I would be ok that’s a good thing but I’d only keep doin it over and over then checking for Groinal Response, for a long time I was Depressed I couldn’t Smile, thought about Suicide many times so I went to my GP who has OCD Knowledge and she asked me questions and said Sounds like OCD and gave me Meds. But it seemed if I got rid of OCD another Theme would come , it’s gone from Hocd to Harm to Pocd and it’s been stuck on this for a while but sometimes it seems like I have Pure O aswell. It all got better when I realised that I’m not the Only one out here , used to be on Stuck in a Doorway and became good friends Mark Freeman who has a Youtube Channel (Should Check him out if you shouldn’t) What I didn’t realise was Each day I was getting stronger and stronger , some days I’d be like I give up , I can’t take this shit , if sleep all day and be like tommorow I’m gonna tackle this thing head on, Gonna ignore it fully and each time I would and it would become easier each time. What helped was in a Big DBZ fan and I just tried to be like Goku and Vegeta and be like “Ok OCD do your Worst let’s see what you got and I’d do everything in my power not to obsess over anything that day” each day I’d challenge myself. But Exercise helped aswell so much I mean A lot Everytime I feel shitty it means I’ve relaxed and hasn’t exercised as much. Now I rarely have OCD I get a few spikes but in a day it’s gone and feel back to normal. My Advice Acceptance is help I know it’s hard to accept u could be what you fear but one day just say fuck it and Everytime just say maybe I am, maybe I’m not. Exercise it’ll make you feel better and get better You are NOT your thoughts. If you were flying a plane and your Brain was telling u you haven’t taken off yet but you looked out the window and saw sky and clouds , who would u believe OCD is a Mind Terrorist , Don’t Negoiate with them , don’t reason with them , don’t even try to outthink them, just Ignore them. OCD is a bully calling you names , be like yeah I am a weirdo So what. I did Hiearches just for fun and it turned out it helped a lot If your Brain told you were a Dolphin and you on the moon would u believe it , Don’t talk about your OCD to much it gives it Power, The less you don’t think about it, React to it or talk about it , The Faster it goes away. Everyone you can do this , I’ll try and Help as much people as I can.
