They are just ocd intrusive thoughts that is exactly what the disordered part of our brain does. Even if the anxiety we get from the thoughts, make us feel real things in our bodies to the core, those feelings are caused by the anxiety, fear, and worry. But the FACT is that they are not real things happening especially if we dont like them which is why we get anxiety over the bad thoughts that we dont like. Its not our fault. Its out of our control and it will always be out of our control, until we seek professional medical help by a therapist, support groups and getting educated on ocd. Even if we cant control the thoughts, we STILL have the control of how we respond to the thoughts, but we can only do that by getting true education about our individual ocd. Take a deep breath, look around, look up to the sky, look outside of the ocd bubble, take a look at your thoughts by looking in from an outside perspective, and realize that they're not real they are just part of what the ocd disorder does, and they dont define you, they are not you, or who you are, then move on even if the thoughts are still there, because remember thats ocd its an obsessive disorder and an obsession will be just that, obsess obsses and obsses so the thoughts will be obsessive. So if we just do the dishes, do a hobbie or something else, the thought may or may not still be there, but eventually it will pass please dont get discouraged keep going IT WILL PASS.

When you try to get away from discomfort, it ironically makes you more uncomfortable. The way you escape this is by adopting unconditional acceptance of everything. “What if I was stuck like this forever”. It’s a very scary thought at first but keep asking yourself why it would be so scary to have these thoughts forever. Over time you learn that it’s okay, and the anxiety goes away completely. You can do this. Stay strong

You’re convinced that you’re living in your own perfect hell…and yet in time you’ll find that the life you want is waiting for you on the other side. I’ve seen it happen in my life and so has anyone who’s kept on fighting no matter what

I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.

It feels like I’m lying to myself constantly and everyone. There feels like there is a weight on my heart from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep. I don’t want to be gay. Idk why it doesn’t register. Now everyone I see I have to see if I’m attracted to them. I see good looking men and I feel like I’m lying to myself that they are good looking, I see women and I see if im attracted to them. I look at everyone and I feel jealous. I want my fucking life back. But now my OCD (if this is even OCD) is telling me I was never happy and I was always suppressing my feelings of being gay. Why is this happening? Can OCD do this? I can’t enjoy anything ever.

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.
