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

But think about it we are normal maybe people without ocd arenāt LOL :) hopefully that made u smile. Donāt worry stay strong and do the erp.

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

The things that used to make me happy? The things that used to make me sad? I don't know how to connect with those anymore. I used to be happy just looking at the sunset and nature, I loved being present in the moment but now being present in the moment is scary because now I'm faced with my thoughts and new potential ones so I'd rather distract myself. I love kballads and I used to listen to them and just cry and be happy because they sound so beautiful but now I can't embrace these things that feel like beauty because I feel like the exact opposite. The only things I can enjoy are K-drama's! But I can't watch things with kids in it. So yah that's tricky! And the things that make me sad?! Well I used to be sad and terrified about loosing my loved ones but now it's a different kind of sad. I used to be sad because of miss them and all that but now I'm scared of facing now messed up my emotions have become. I'm scared of loosing someone I love and then not being able to feel sad because I'm just numb, or even worse...if it becomes something I'm okay with or what if OCD convinces me that I'm happy about it because honestly it would be weird moving around the world with such emotions. So not only has OCD made it hard for me to enjoy the good things but also hard for me to feel sad about the sad things or just to put it short...to experience emotions normally.

Makes me feel lost. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore.

I feel different from others, I donāt feel as feminine and I feel like Iāve changed. Iām not sure why I feel this way. I also donāt think my ocd is ocd, itās just something I told myself to feel better. I know! What if I am what if Iām not, I get it, but I donāt feel like i have a choice in the matter anymore. I have soocd and itās eaten me alive for years. I woke up out of my sleep and got triggered and here I am. I donāt know what I feel anymore. I always wanted a boyfriend and now It seemed to change. I donāt want a girlfriend, itās just that I donāt see anything for myself and I feel like Iām hiding. Itās hard to explain. Plus sometimes the way I move or speak makes me feel more masculine and it kills me. Im feeling so lost and alone right now. I know what I want deep down but I feel incapable of having those things because I wonāt be able to have feeling. If that makes sense.
