I loved Turtles all the way down, such a great book! I think most of mine are about touching things and germs, it starts a thought spiral and gives me horrible anxiety

Stay strong Meg! In response to your question about thought spirals, I have relationship ocd - so my thought spirals focus around my bf cheating on me. It’s hard for us both but we are pushing through. If he is the right one then we will make it together, if not I’ll find someone who is. It’s very very challenging at times because I’ve had periods where I have had to call or text him constantly (we are in a ldr) and when he doesn’t reply or pick up I have gotten straight up panic attacks puking my guts out...! But I’m starting to see a small light at the end of the tunnel one year into treatment

Same I am at a friends and I don’t like staying at friends because I get anxiety from the thought of saying no so if I want to go home I feel like I can’t say it because I think they will not want me to come back or will hate me or something. Then I need to hand wash and then everything goes down-hill and that is why I like the comfort of my own home.

The hardest part of my life is the fact that I am in middle school and am bullied! It is soo hard that I even had I time were I dealt with self harm! But I saw a consoler and she helped me but that give me anxiety too like one person said they freeze when they think of it. I don’t like sharing my thoughts that is why I am undiagnosed I struggle with it but I can’t share anything because that gives me anxiety! Life is hard! I am soo happy that I found this app.

Thank you sooo much guys OCD may make our live horrible but we have each other it really helps to now people go through the same things I do. It feels great to have a shoulder to lean on when I don’t have one at school. It really sucks when they make fun of your illness because they think it is funny if they new what I went through. Thank you soooo much???

Im so sorry you’re bullied, i was bullied in middle school and high school and a piece of advice that might only just serve as words of encouragement: karma always gets the bullies, keep staying strong!

Karma does get the bullies!! I was a total loser weirdo apparently in high school and got bullied constantly - but now everyone thinks I’m the cool chick, beautiful and have a successful career. All hope is not lost! I never thought I’d be the beautiful, cool chick and to this day I still find it utterly shocking that anyone would think that (if they only knew how my teen years were!!)...!

Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠

Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?

Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol
