that’s ocd for ya, it has no compassion or empathy, itll attack and leave you feeling like you’re a monster. you have to hold on to the fact it’s all ocd and that it wants you to feel this way, it wants you to be miserable and stuck. ocd attacks anything you care about, all your fears, it will tell you that you’re them. it’s ruthless, but you are NOT alone and there is always hope. dont let those intrusive thoughts win.

Yes ma'am!! 4 months ago to be exact....not a clue of this!! Its as if I'm reading my own words wow 🎯 you feel detached from what you once we're my therapist calls it a phenomenon whatever that means....I've done my own research on it and that is exactly what it's referred to. When I tell you we are not alone in this we are most definitely not, and many people have gotten past it...I know hard to believe 😥

I want to say no but I can't say for sure....my therapist says it's a brain imbalance. Therapy and Tramazone has helped me out tremendously with hocd. You have to reach out for help please don't wait. The tricky part is finding just the right therapist.

@Kls2121 That's the sad and angering for me part that they don't make this an attainable thing and so many people get lost. Everyone should have therapy available!! It could save thousands of people 😥

@Kls2121 That's an understatement!! The one thing we should be the most on top of "the mind" and it's the most ignored. All I can say is I know people are coming out of this, so whatever you need to do to get the right therapy do it.

It is not the thoughts or urges that scare me anymore. It is the way I feel like I’ve absorbed the compulsions into my identity :( I am doing them so automatically that it feels like I am choosing them freely and they’re me. and because of that, it feels like I AM the OCD now, not just someone with OCD. I think I’m just deeply trapped in a loop. I was trying to survive unbearable fear so I started scanning. Then I started pre-scanning. Then checking if I pre-scanned. Then I check how I feel during all that. I run to beat my OCD to the “punchline” (intrusive thought, urge, sensation) because I’m so scared all the time. So scared that I don’t even feel it anymore. I feel numb and all that’s left is this jittery residue and numbness. Now it’s all tangled together in a huge knot. I feel so extremely lost. I think this may just be meta OCD, but I’ve never ever felt so gone before :( I’m really scared.

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

I hate the way ocd has completely messed up my brain, I struggle to tell the difference between an intrusive though and a regular one, I have really bad issues with morality and I feel as if my brain can no longer tell what is and isn't right and I can't tell if I'm over reacting about situations and I end up feeling stuck in a loop of wondering if I'm a bad person and trying to look at a situation rationally and not knowing if that's even possible with the state of my mind, I feel like none of my thoughts are actually mine. I hate it and I wish I could feel in control of my thoughts even for just a day, just to know what it's like. I've had ocd symptoms since I was about 9-10 so i feel like I've never really know a life without it. I just wish I could live out my teenage years like anyone else my age. I can hardly engage with my hobbies and passions and I don't know what to do about it. I can't go to therapy or get medication because I'm not even diagnosed, I just feel trapped. I'm only a teenager, like I said, I don't want to live my entire life like this.
