I think you should do what you want and ignore those horrible feelings that ocd makes you feel. Even after those feelings continue your life, i know it may be difficult, but try ignoring them to get out of that cycle,
Thanks a lot I will try
I struggled with this as well and I still do sometimes. It was really disturbing and frustrating. I can understand how unsettling it must be for you right now.
Do you know how to fight it because I can stand it anymore I am trying to avoid but I feel worse
It was hard for me to fight it as well. It got better when I started therapy, though. I was afraid to go against the intrusive thoughts on my own, but when my therapist told me that it was ok to do that and that I should most definatley do that, I started to feel more brave in doing what the thoughts told me not to. I don’t know if this helps you at all and I’m sorry I don’t have better advice for you. But I think that you should know that no matter what ocd tells you, it’s ok to go against it, it’s ok to take that leap of faith and get your life back because you don’t deserve to be controlled by your intrusive thoughts.
I can't find the right therapist they don't undnerstand Thank you for the help
I’m sorry to hear that. I also had a bad experience with a therapist recently so I can imagine how unpleasant it must be for you. Have you considered trying signing up for the support groups organized by NOCD? Maybe talking it out and receiving empathy and support verbally might help? I’m really sorry you’re going through this and I hope that things will somehow change for the better as soon as possible.
I can't have access because it isn't available in my country
Oh, I understood that while therapy is not available in countries outside the US, the groups are open regardless of the country you live in. But I can be mistaken 🤔
Yes this is true
Actually if you check the message thread for the announcement of the community groups, it’s stated than anyone can join regardless of where they are.
What are these community groups sorry for bothering
They are groups on zoom led by a therapist (if I’m not mistaken) where people suffering from ocd talk about their experiences, give and receive support.
@shade That's great if yo have tried one I would like to share your experience without bothering you thanks
@guest123 I haven’t tried to be honest, I only know about them from a live q&a and the idea sounded great so I thought I would share. I’m sorry I don’t have more information about this.
@shade Thanks a lot
@guest123 You’re welcome
What do you do when nothing feel right. Like for example I feel like everything triggers me, everything feels weird, sounds, actions, my room. I feel like i will go insane any second and I cant enjoy anything, I cant be happy about my upcoming new job or events. I have OCD about me having shizhophrenia and omg it has ruined my life, it has only been about 3 weeks, but it has got me complitely. I want my old self back and I am scared that my loved one will leave me bc i am not getting better. I really want a new theme as funny it sounds, because even 2 years ago harm OCD was't this hard. I feel like something in me is changing, but i dont want it 😭 I will start therapy in the end of August and I just started taking medication. But for now I cant imagine this stopping and I fear that it will go downhill from this, i cant see me doing better, because if i have a good day I rember how i felt yesterday or when I had a panic attack and I cant get enough of it, i always remember those feelings and I start to worry about it over and over again.
im crying hard right now im so scared. i haven’t cried like this or really at all since the thoughts started happening… im so scared im gonna act on them. i just want it all to stop..
Is there any point in trying anymore? There is no way to get the help I need, and even if I could, what if I learn it was never ocd in the first place? What do i do then? Everything feels so hopeless, all i want is to go bavk in time to before these thoughts started. This app is all I have to talk about how I feel. I always had OCD symptoms of varying themes as well as a terrible anxiety disorder that only worsened, but I could've never imagined I would feel like this. If a Hell exists, im certain I'm going there
