I worry that what I'm worrying about is real and OCD is an excuse
Yea, for one, this is a common symptom and I have been feeling that way lately because I've been destroying my intrusive thoughts left and right and am between getting to my next obstacles/obsession but have to transition into the greater risks that come with that. This is why I feel not sick enough. But there are only two options really. Either I stand up and do something about the disorder to minimize its impact on my life as much as possible or I get along with it and don't complain. I think there's still a lot that I have to tackle and smash so I know what I'm gonna do. Shit, this sounds so fucking heroic. Just got done watching some anime. ?
Raphael I’ll have to look into usagi drop! The FMA I’ve seen I really liked I just haven’t gotten back into it again. Thanks for the advice and the recommendations.
I used to wonder the same thing.
I worry about this all the time! I thought I was the only one with this feeling and that I shouldn’t be bothering others when I don’t feel right.
Rollt1805 me too but I think that I still worry about the first thing more
raphael hahaha yeh I know what you mean though. What anime? I’m looking for a new one
Oh, well. I didn't watch anything new, because I can't afford crunchyroll and I feel too guilty watching on pirating pages. So I have to be happy with whatever anime free legal streaming platforms provide me with. ? I've been rewatching full metal alchemist: brotherhood, ToraDora, Danmachi and lo and behold shinchan. That little fucker has never been an appropriate character for a children's show. Hahaha I want to rewatch your lie in April so bad. It will destroy me again, but that's fine.
Raphael yeh I think I’m gonna watch your lie in April soon, my friends keep talking about it. And I watched some of FMA brotherhood because it’s on Netflix but I keep having other things I want to watch more. I’ve only been watching anime for a year so I’m still desperately trying to keep up. And I’m a sitcom enthusiast too so a lot of the time I’m just watching those.
I forgot to mention one that even helped me in wanting to grow up more, it's called usagi drop. I smiled through nearly every episode. I even told my therapist about and she was like That must've been one wild anime.
FMA is one of my favorite anime's ever. The plot is beyond good.
Jill, I read this article one year ago and it helped me a lot, https://themighty.com/2017/04/ocd-doubting-disease/
I listen to a lot of ocd podcasts and watch a lot videos read a lot of articles. And I’m recently feeling a bit worried when I hea stories about how ocd has manifested in other people’s lives. A lot of people talk about experiencing some perfectionism as a kid, often counting or being afraid of germs. I don’t temper experiencing such things. I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with contamination ocd. I’ve only really struggled with pure o types of ocd. This leads me to worry “maybe it’s not ocd.” Does anyone else feel this way?
Does anyone ever get scared that they are just trying to convince themselves that it’s OCD. I have this fear that my intrusive thoughts about harm aren’t actually intrusive nor is it actually OCD and I’m actually some sort of crazy evil human being all of a sudden. As I’m writing this I can see how silly that is. Of course it’s OCD, but there is always that “what if” and it makes me scared of myself. I know that this could be considered “obsessing about obsessing,” but like I said, there is always that, “What if you are different? An anomaly.”
Feels like “what if I’m not suffering enough to have OCD” which makes me feel terrible because my anxiety has slowed down after finding out what OCD was and that’s why I’m having these thoughts.
