You just have to realize OCD is making you go through all this, so the moment you get any sort of feeling or thought thats ocd, identify it and don't think about it and this will take its power away. I know it's so hard man I used to never cry like ever and ever since I got this hocd I cry myself to sleep like every night when its a bad phase because I genuinely feel like I really am gay sometimes but it's just ocd, and the more you stress about it the more power you give it so just relax, eventually you will come back to your senses. Watch some motivational movies too, it helps me inspire me to not give and after we get through this we will be even stronger than before bro, just have hope

@POCDKILLME Crying sometimes helps.. a random stranger accusing you of something untrue is definitely upsetting, and all you can do is understand that whatever that person said was just bullshit in their head, and we don’t know what is going up there! And I hope you get the shoes you wanted some other way, hopefully another opportunity arises. And POCD is very rough, very taxing emotionally.. however, it’s literally a glitch in ur head..

Me too bro but just remember it's just a bad phase. I was so bad and I was literally so suicidal but after a few days the suicidal thoughts went away. It will feel so real which is why hocd is a problem but it's just a thought. Identify it as ocd the moment you get the thought and don't think about it anymore or else you will ruminate and go down the spiral. It's like when you watch a scary movie, you know it's not real at all and you're still SO tense and scared, ocd is like that and it feels so real

I’m feeling kind of sad cause today was not a really good day in terms of my ocd. I was feeling kind of foggy/numb and that send me to spiraling. I’m 21 years old currently studying but my family has been having trouble with money for the last couple years(we’re just me and my mom) and I kinda want to get a job but everything is far from my home and I wouldn’t be able to return back at night, also it’s either way more expensive to move or the schedule wouldn’t let me take my classes. The point is that because of that every time my mom is stress tends to treat me bad, she speaks to me like I’m stupid or she just screams to nothing cursing all life and everything and that actually makes me feel soo bad and guilty for not doing anything, I know it’s hard for me to get a job that actually helps us without quitting school but that doesn’t stop me from feeling like I’m a burden. I want to help, I want to maybe hug her or something but I know she will be angrier and probably will reject it. So that’s it, I just feel like she punishes me for the stress she’s carrying and I get it but one day is happy and it feels like all love and the next is treating me like that, Idk it’s hard (also I feel like I shouldn’t be saying this cause it’s all my fault) 🫤

TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

i’m trying to not let the thoughts bother me but it’s just so stressful. even me typing that feels like i’m lying when i know i’m not. i’m scared because even my therapist tells me that it’s just ocd, but in the back of my mind i slightly don’t believe her, and its making me scared that i AM like those people and im gonna act on something. sometimes in social moments i get a quick thought of me being an outcast because im like those people who are sick in the head and act on that stuff, and it just makes me feel like i truly am gonna eventually act on something. another thing that bothered me is earlier my mom yelled at me for not doing school work (it was well deserved im really slacking on it) and i had like no reaction to her screaming. it had me thinking what if i have no empathy etc etc, and what if i get mad that she yelled at me and i do something involving those thoughts. how do i TRULY know it’s ocd? like i try to remind myself and be like “dude, your therapist said it’s ocd, she isn’t wrong” but the back of my mind is like “she is wrong, it’s not ocd and she just happened to misdiagnose you. you are gonna act on those thoughts and it’s your fate”. please someone respond if you read all of this, im really struggling
