Yes!! I’ve spent the whole day making sure I look at everything so that an equal amount of light comes into both my eyes (this is the hardest thing to explain!) For example, if I looked at something bright from my left side, I have to turn around and look at it with my right side and keep turning until it feels like I’ve reached an equilibrium. I also have to straighten anything that seems out of line in public (so that’s particularly humiliating.) I completely understand the need for symmetry Ellaaaax, so frustrating! d a i s y

Omg this is same as me, I have to look in like form of 4 at everything, it’s annoying because i look bloody mental doing it lmao but oh well. I do it with touching things too, like if I touch something with one hand, I’ll also touch it will the other too. It’s so weird lmao

Ohhh same!! I look like a complete weirdo! At least we can see the funny side of it I guess and have a little giggle at ourselves every now and then hehe. I also have to do it a “special” number of times - so bad! I hate to hear you’re going through this, but it’s so nice to be able to confide in someone who understands exactly what it’s like. d a i s y

Omg both of you just made my day, even though maybe it's weird to say it since we're all suffering here!! :/ I have to have the same amount of AIR in both my eyes even, and light too. So I have to open them the same amount the same amount of times! I have to do everything an even amount of times (usually 4) but because this is sacred, and I hate waking up, I have to set my alarm to an odd number time so that an even number doesn't become tainted. At least I am laughing typing this out!!! Maybe by being able to laugh at the absurdity of it all will help us

I can totally relate Tay! Know you’re not alone because I definitely know exactly how you feel. Especially the eye thing, I’ve never met someone who understands it like you! So annoying but definitely kinda funny when you think about it. We always have each other! d a i s y

Feeling low
Hey today I’m feeling very tired because of my OCD I’m just so tired of it. I feel I’m doing everything to get better. I disregard the thoughts, I’m trying to do things like I don’t have ocd but it doesn’t want to go away. I was doing fine for a long period of time and now I feel like I’m back a square one. It’s been almost 2 months now I’m battling with OCD and I’m just tired. Sure I have moments where it’s better than others, I also have days where I barely have OCD but I also have really bad days like today where I just don’t want to get out of bed. Last time I had a relapse it took my 4 weeks to get out of it I don’t understand why this time it takes me more. I’m starting believing that I will never feel better again. Anyway I’m gonna try to find the strength to get out of bed and to start my day. But I just wanted to share. It’s such a horrible illness.

Is it in my head
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know

Feeling very frustrated today
I have come so far in my therapy and days like today feel like I’m just still buried in OCD. Sometimes it is so insidious and I don’t realize I’m in a loop. Once I do realize it, it’s hard to get out. I thought sharing here may help, as I never have, but I know you guys will understand. It’s so hard to decipher between regular anxiety and obsessions and compulsions. It has all just become one big ball of panic. Anyway, I’m just struggling today - so thanks for listening.
