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!!!

idk
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

Not doing great
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

Feeling down.
Was just remembering and ruminating on extremely traumatic and disturbing drawings I looked at as a teen. I'm trying to move past it because I cannot go back and unsee what I've seen, it's so difficult though. Feeling like people would look at me with disgust and I don't deserve the love that I crave desperately.
