Sometimes crying it out feels good. I think a lot of people try to trigger themselves. I personally listen to sad music to trigger myself whenever I’m feeling sad. I am so sorry that your family are mean to you, I am here if you wanna chat. ❤️

I’m not endorsing crying though. Don’t trigger yourself to cry. ❤️

@BeachedMermaid Thanks so much. I love crying and it does feel good. But I just feel so anxious when I have to MAKE myself cry :/

@garden Please don't feel that way. You shouldn't have to force yourself to cry. That sounds like it could be painful. Do you feel like you are relying on sobbing as a coping mechanism?

@BigGip09 Yes deffo. Crying to me means I’m empathetic and a lot of my OCD fears are about empathy so I need to cry to prove I have it. But I feel so fake and awful for almost actively making myself cry instead of it coming naturally

@garden Ah, jeez. I'm so so sorry to hear that. You're a very sweet person and you are caring of others. The fact that you worry and you feel you have to prove to literally cry shows you have OCD alone. You're not fake and you aren't awful. You can't let OCD make you believe that. And everytime you do force yourself to cry, you're just feeding the OCD just so it'll doubt you again. I know it's confusing and I know it sucks, but you HAVE to refrain from doing such a thing to yourself. You don't deserve that, pal.

@BigGip09 Thank you. That’s so kind. It’s just hard since I’ve been doing it for so long. Like if I don’t try, maybe I’ll never cry again! Me and my OCD are just one person

@garden All emotions are felt at their own times. You should never feel that you have to force an emotion to prove something or to feel it whatsoever. When someone or something saddens you, you'll know. And that goes for all emotions. It's what makes you human!! Your OCD really has you in a lock at the moment but you can reverse that! I believe in you, Garden. :)

I cried today and felt much better after. Sometimes you just need to let it out. Try to be a little nicer to yourself :)

I'm here to tell you that it's alright to cry. The whole point of crying for humans is to take the pain away and feel better afterwards. However, don't make crying a compulsion as damning as that sounds. Another thing that makes mammals feel good is masturbation, but it's a terrible compulsion for me that I need to stop obsessing with. I hope you feel better!

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😢

Bad days idkk
I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.

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.
