Man I've been there. Hang in there buddy, it gets better. I've had times when I've felt so strong and my OCD seemed like it just upped and left for good. Then bam, like a bus hitting you, a thought pops into my head and haunts me for days. But trust me, it gets better

Yeah usually I get over a thought within a few days, and I feel better! but this particular thought just keeps coming back, and I start ruminating over it again, it’s so frustrating, try my best not to reassure myself but it feels so real!

Sounds rough, I've had thoughts feel so real that it felt like if I didn't gratify the feeling by going through my OCD "rituals" my life would literally be ruined. And that fear that comes with the thoughts just builds and builds until it's all consuming and thinking about either the repercussions of it or how to avoid it occupies so much of your mental space and emotional capacity that you're like physically tired. I've been there, it's tough. Maybe you should try the SOS function on this app everytime you have an "episode" (lol, sorry for that word) or think about going to see a therapist and getting it all out

Exactly they feel so real and your mind is just exhausted and u actually feel psychically tired. I find exercising and keeping busy can help. I know it gets better but I haven’t had a thought that’s bothered me this long and a long time. Which makes me think it’s real! It’s never ended with ocd! I’m on the list for therapist but can find one I want so may look to go private. Have u tried the therapists on here?

I haven't yet, I've been trying to cope with it and find ways to alleviate some of my anxieties on my own. Just trying to live with the thoughts and impulses. I think I've been about 40% successful. I think.its just the purist in me that thinks all my issues can be cured by me since it's me who somehow created them subconsciously in the first place. But I'm pretty sure that I'm wrong or at least somewhere on my journey to that conclusion I've been wrong. But I'm gonna stick it out, if I seriously can't deal anymore I'll try to find a good one

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Past haunting you?
With real event OCD, I don’t know if any of you feel this way, but do you ever feel that the past event(s) that you ruminate about or constantly obsess about are gonna come up in your future and just absolutely ruin you, that’s how I’ve been feeling for months, it just feels like impending doom, and I hate having to even think that my future would be ruined by what I did as a teenager, and I did some dumb things, that I regret so deeply, I just can’t stop thinking about that.

OCD
I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
