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

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know itās ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it wonāt bother me but other times I really really donāt know. Itās when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing theyāre something theyāre not or something that doesnāt align with my true morals or intentions. But since itās twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I canāt trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I donāt have ocd at all and Iām just in denial because I donāt want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe thatās just the ocd talking.
