When the thoughts are so constant like this, how am I NOT supposed to believe they are . People always say you're self is still inside of you even when ocd is debilitating, but I dont understand how that could be. I have no idea who I am.

I'm sorry you're suffering so much. It's horrible when it's so constant isnt it?

Whatabtme

Yes it is. Thank you for validating that.

Are you doing mental compulsions?

Whatabtme

Yes, almost automatically. I am aware of them and yet I am struggling to stop.

Maybe,MaybeNot

@Whatabtme You need to be willing to stop. Any time you are ruminating you are compulsing. You need to refuse to do it.

Whatabtme

@Anonymous Good idea lol
