Heyyyy! So, I know this feeling. It's another tactic OCD uses when trying to make you forget who you are. Don't fall for it. I was reading a bible devotional and it told me to challenge the thought with truth. Don't push it out, but just say (for instance) for God did not give me a spirit of fear, but power and love and a sound mind. So I repeat that to help me remember I wasn't created with a fearful heart. The devotional said once we learn to let those negative thoughts go, our feelings will fall in line next with our faith. I'm struggling with the feeling aspect. anytime I feel anxious, even if I'm not worried mentally about anything I immediately relate it to ocd and have an episode of intrusive thoughts. I've learned that while you'll always have the thoughts, they won't be as frequent and they won't have the same power over you. I promise. It's a journey for sure but you will get there. I promise. Give yourself grace, don't get upset when you have an episode and remember - just keep swimming!!!

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.

I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.
