What works for me (living with POCD) (Sorry for my bad english, feel free to correct me). - Leaving the house, yes I will be that is difficult; - To walk; - Doing my Hobbies (reading and writing). - Stay with the family; -Being alone and noticing that I won't do anything bad; - Eating even if I don't want to; - Leaving social media and meditate; - Pretending that thoughts are clouds; - Throughs are just Throughs, you can't move a feather w your throughs; -Accepting groinal response doesn't make you disgusting or are some kind of verification about your feelings. THIS IS YOUR ANXIET/OCD (seriously, I have this without throughs or images). Stay safe, guys.

P.S, your English is pretty good

I understand you, this can be hard, and it hurts me. I hate so much feeling this. When my POCD started I couldn't even watch television ( I was anxious about seeing children on the screen). Don't feel bad for not being able to hangout or something like that yet, when you live with OCD you need to be patience and strong (don't compare yourself with others, everything in its own time). When you feel better, it's good to try even if it's a short car ride — because this situation is being normalized in our brain. Leave social media help a lot, this things make me anxious. When I stopped using social media, I started to get better!

@BigGip09 Thank you :) :) :) You encourage me to study more

@Lizzie Scheavi Yeah, I know. I really didn't like how this all started out. Anxiety was through the roof but now I don't know what that feels like anymore. I don't plan on finding out either. Comparing myself to others is something I have extreme trouble with. Social media definitely isn't helping me in that department. I've been reading up on drawing lessons to try and become a lot better with it and to turn it into a hobby. I get inspired by art quite a lot. :)

@Lizzie Scheavi I'm glad you've been learning a new language. It's funny because I have the Duolingo app just sitting there and I've occasionally thought of learning a new language. I should put time into that. :)

@BigGip09 You're doing well! I get more anxious about being anxious haha, but now I'm watching Nathan Peterson's OCD videos and he's opening my mind about just accepting and saying "ok, this is happening" (and I can improve my English with him. Now I know a lot different words about OCD haha :0). Nice to see you are learning to draw, I'm not good in this area, I prefer to just admire the art. Will you be the new Da Vincci or Gustav Klimt (I really like this second artist)!!! It's really cool to know you're learning on your own. Duolingo is boring, I tried to learn English there, but I didn't see a diversity of phrases. Now I prefer to make mistakes here and hope that someone correct me.

@Lizzie Scheavi Oh, that's the worst. Worrying about not worrying can really get you with the back door spikes. I'm glad you're watching videos that are aware of the situation and staying on your toes. Haha, that made me chuckle a bit. It was funny. When I look at art, I get inspired and always wonder what's behind the scenes. I'm learning it at a slow pace so that I can be patient! It's unfortunate that Duolingo didn't give you the best English lessons. Hopefully it isn't that way when I begin to learn Spanish. I'm glad you've been finding other ways to fully learn the language though! So many of us in this community could he helping you with that alone! :)

@BigGip09 You are right, be patient! You think like an artist :0 I love so much spanish. I think it's a beautiful language. O wish Duo help you with this hahaha. I'm not fluent, but I know some phrases I learned in school and with songs.

@Lizzie Scheavi You think so? Thanks. That does help. :) I always thought the Spanish language was awesome. It was always cool to me hearing people speak it at such a high rate. I also REALLY like Mexican culture ever since childhood. I really do hope that I can learn the language well.
