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,

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’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 🤔

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.

@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.

I feel like I'm fucking crazy. It literally feels like my ocd has a plan to hurt people like overtime my mind has made a plan and I was already questioning myself because I'm doing erp. I don't want to hurt people but my mind literally feels like its fully ready to do something. I can't do this.

I can’t tell what’s right and wrong anymore. It’s like my moral compass/rationality is completely broken. I could just shut my feelings down whenever. It might sound like a good thing but it also means I wouldn’t feel any remorse or guilt or negative emotions if I were to do something immoral (hypothetically speaking). In contrast, sometimes my feelings get so deep in the way that my rationality cannot win no matter what. My brain does that out of nowhere and I hate it because it ends up triggering my OCD theme and I have to start back up to be able to cope again. It’s like I’ve developed this intense intolerance towards any sort of stress whatsoever, even the good type of stress that helps you grow. My brain just shuts down and mentally I become a kid again and I can’t listen to logic no matter what.
