I relate to this a lot! I feel like my thoughts aren't my own, like my mind is a separate existence that's dictating my life, but at the same time I feel like I'd be nothing without it. Like it's a part of who I am that can't be changed. It's hard to accept that you can get better, but you can do it!ā¤ļø

What you said is so relatable! Sometimes I feel like I'm a puppet and my mind and thoughts are my master, it makes me wonder how much control we really have over our thoughts. Thank you! š

@Tanaya I guess we have very little control over our thoughts and our lives, but when you've been experiencing OCD for so long, you are scared to let it go. You know yourself that way, the people around you know you that way, as sad as it sounds, and don't know how your life will be if you don't have it. The road to recovery is long.

@Marinaa The road to recovery is a rocky one but it's one worth taking I suppose

Yes itās exhausting. Iāve had it my whole life I just turned 40. I got an amazing wife, dog, place to live and great family. I wouldnāt change anything. Maybe the ocd helps we donāt know lol. I look at it like a reset. You get bad episode you have to learn everything from scratch again. Remeber life is amazing no matter what and stay positive. I just went through a 2 week full episode nonstop while on a vacation and look Iām still here and after 4 weeks of erp Iām happy again. Believe in yourself is the best advice and believe that ocd is just triggers things you love and care about that you would never do.

Iāve been feeling the same way (shifting moods, emotions, thoughts) for a year. Iām sorry youāre going through this, and thank you for being brave and sharing your experience. OCD makes me feel so alone. Itās helpful to hear people who understand.

It's crazy, it makes you feel like an imposter in your own mind/body sometimes but I'm trying to find some clarity in all of it. Having this app helps tho, because whilst I hate others are suffering it makes me feel less alone

Was it ocd?
Earlier today for about a few hours i spent the whole entire time in my room researching a certain topic and feeling 100% convinced it was true and that it was the real me and i never had ocd. There was convincing evidence too. I was freaking out, crying, etc. i hardly remember what i was thinking, its almost like i blacked out. I keep trying to remember because from what i do remember some of the thoughts kinda bother me. I ended up calming down and snapping back into what i think is reality, and felt completely opposite of what i was thinking just 5 minutes prior. Im so confused, i dont know who i am, i feel like im actually going crazy.

IM LOST
I have no idea who I am anymore. I have completely lost my self. And idk what to do. Idk where my caring, and loving, chirst like side went. I have lost touch with who I am and everything I once new. I've had ocd for so long that I think it just became me. Or I'm dealing with cognitive Dissonance, which I feel like it probably true. Tbh. But anyways I feel like I'm genuinely gone crazy towards god and idk what to do. I wish I could just go back to myself, and I'm just not sure what to do. I think I turned away from God the only thing that once brought me joy. Just seems so dry now, like I'm empty or whatever. I personally don't think I'll ever be ok again.

Why?
Theyāre getting more intense.. My mind wonders if what iām feeling is really OCD.. what if itās not and iām in denial? Why is my life like this, a constant loop of fears and stress holding me back. I just want to live. To be the kind boy everyone knows. To make and be a difference. Thereās sometimes I wish I could stay asleep.. to rest for a while. To hibernate all these feelings away. But I know thatās not how it works. Each tear I shed is a reminder of the hell I live every day when I open my eyes. I donāt know who I am anymore. I donāt know why I am anymore. Please someone.. advice, words of positivity, something.. I feel so alone. Iām scared. I donāt know where else to go.
