Stop asking those “what if” questions. They don’t help and just keep you going in circles

You will not get sent back from therapist to therapist. You gotta believe and speak into exisitence that this is the help you need and that you will receive. And I mean this in no offense because I do the same thing: but the fact that you are asking about this displays OCD symptoms to me. I’ve been dealing with severe OCD, Anxiety, ADD, and ADHD since I was 4. I’ve asked questions like this so many times in my 25 years. You will get the help you need! Your OCD is just scared that it’s finally gonna get it’s butt whooped. You got this hang in there!

@mcic You’re not trust me. Everyone on here in some type of way feels alone because no one around them physically understands the struggles. For me I’m the fifth generation on my dads side of the family to deal with these issues. My dad has the same issues. But for me personally I don’t want to burden him so I do feel alone at times. But I found this app and I have my therapist and psychiatrist and then are trained and educated to deal with people who have this mental illness. They try to the best of their ability to understand because they care about us and helping us get better. The people around you may not fully understand but if you open up and give them a tiny glimpse I’m certain they will try their best to understand and help you get better. And idk if you believe in god but just know that you aren’t ever alone because god has got you in his hands and won’t ever let you fall. You have a greater purpose and this is just a way for you to be able to help others. Is it unfair? Hell yes but just know that once you find what works for you and your ocd, you can share that with others and others can share their techniques with you!

@Anonymous For a long time my responses to things were very mean and snippy and short. I didn’t even realize it until someone pointed it out and then I felt terrible. Now at 25 I respond to things better and more calmly!

@LuLaBelle95! I know I’m a kind hearted person and was always told I have the biggest heart but I tend to lose my cool bad it will feel like I’ve lost control of my anger/rage even if I know I have and I need to calm down I basically turn into a monkey

I do belive in God. I’ve got various theories centered around the God of the Bible, I just don’t know which one I believe yet if that makes any sense. Anyway, I’m worried that instead of feeling this way, the way I’ve felt for about 4 months now going away, that I’m just going to get used to this feeling and I don’t want that at all. Getting used to this current feeling isn’t a solution to me it’s a nightmare

I get you on that. For me having these intrusive thoughts for the past 2 months has been all I’ve know and I’ve been praying for them to go away/ subside. But I’m finding out that as I get better that I feel like I should be thinking about them which is crazy because I’ve been begging not to think about them😭 just know that once you get better you will adapt to a new norm

A question!
Hi everybody! I started with a therapist who’s super pricey outside of NOCD, when I had mentioned that I’m struggling with OCD she didn’t seem too well versed she said oh so you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts? Lady you don’t know the half of it!! But I’m afraid of continuing because I don’t want to waste $180 a week for what is sold as someone who can treat and help with OCD then turns out to just be talking about stuff I’ve already talked about with past therapists! Anyway onto the question at hand! If I join NOCD and they don’t cover my insurance but I pay out of pocket fora real OCD/ERP specialist because I really need the help! Is NOCD going to help me? Or am I going to waste my time and should I keep trying my hardest to find ERP specialists on Google. I’m exhausted I just want to know I’m going to get help and relief from this before I put more money into therapy Any advice or honesty would help greatly! ❤️👈🏼

I just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

It all feels so real :( after 4 years
It feels like I used to get so many intrusive thoughts in the beginning but now it’s less it’s only thoughts like what if I’m a p what if I’m a p what if I’m lying to myself what if I’m in dentist truly in all this and it was all fake like I’m an imposter, now it’s just feelings and noticing :/ and I hate he feelings that come with it I’m really scared I am one I feel so alone :( I’m taking therapy but my therapist is not specialized in ocd and I don’t think she understands and I don’t want to bring it up bc I brought up a fear that what if I turn into my stepdad and she said “are you attracted to children?” And I said no but it was just an irrational thought that came after I started realizing the trauma that happened to me as a kid, and idk I’m scared to Start with a therapists here bc what if all this just makes it worse and it turns out I am what I fear all along.? :(
