Change that narrative, you telling yourself that you can’t is going to make you believe it. Try find some coping mechanisms and even if you don’t believe they will work try them every day for two weeks you might find it helps. 🙂🙂🙂

Getting out of my room usually helps. I like that I'm not in there all the time and it can be pretty isolating. I guess OCD makes it seem like a jail cell which is a fear I have. My real events are centered around the following: "Mistakes I've made when I was younger" "Sexually inappropriate things when I was younger" "Fearing that I accidentally saw illegal porn" "Constantly, and I mean constantly regretting the things I did under my hormones" Another thing my OCD loves to do is act like these events that have happened have taken place recently and not years ago. I don't even really know how to explain that

Absolutely, I had horrible social anxiety and I wish I would’ve put myself out there because I missed out on a lot of great opportunities and when I could’ve been having the time of my life I was doing things that I now worry about every single day of my life now bc of my ocd. . I think that there’s just too much focus on how being in highschool/teenage years are supposed to be the best times in your life honestly. There’s plenty more life to live :)

Don't you ever worry about the things you may have seen online? The things you did when you were still a minor? The things you wish you did but couldn't? I worry about this every single damn day. I feel like I'm going to be arrested one day

Sounds like something I would say! I think someone told me that too. I worry about everything I do, everything I’ve done, everything I’ve ever said. It goes on and on. I wish it would shut up and leave me be

Yeah honestly. I worry about it so much like it all happened yesterday. I just worry about pretty much everything. Whether ethical or not. It's always just constant worrying. Don't know what to do to stop it. Though to be fair, I've had anxiety she the majority of my life

@BigGip09 Yeah I remember the start of my anxiety in 2nd grade! I have GAD pretty bad... it’s so frustrating and I feel like it makes ocd that much worse

@Justmesadly I think anxiety for me all started from being afraid of girls at a super young age.

Sorry you’re having to deal with this. I would say try not to let it ruin your 20s because it all goes faster from here bro as you blink and you’re on the brink of 40 like me.

I feel like my 20s are already ruined because I constantly worry about events and consequences

Don’t let these thoughts control you, when you have these thoughts try this, close your eyes count to 3 and try and feel how your body reacts to these anxious feelings. Don’t let your past equal your future and enjoy your 20s as much as possible.

I feel like I just can't. All I do is think of the past every single day. It doesn't go away. I just think of my regrets over and over. And if whatever happened can be a crime
