Yes! And I’m scared they will tell other people and it will just go around and around /:
Ugh yes! I started obsessing that maybe she told someone! It's the worst!
@Hopeforthefuture Ugh yes! I always make sure my username and profile picture keeps me anonymous but I’m always so scared someone knows me and yeah… ugh :(
@MRR7221 Yes! I have changed them before too 😅 just so people will think I'm different. I also worry that someone I know will get the app and someone recognize me especially because I know a girl from my college has ocd
@Hopeforthefuture Ugh it is so frustrating! We just gotta know it is highly unlikely! But our minds just want to think otherwise :(
It’s odd but I think sometimes it is harder to talk about the really odd/ridiculous fears compared to the horrifying fears 🤷🏼♀️
Yupp that’s why I don’t really tell anyone about it or at least not my friends
It's hard 😞 I talked to my mom about it and she kept telling me she thought no differently of me but I can't help but think she dles
@Hopeforthefuture Does*
@Hopeforthefuture Oh girl :( you are not those thoughts at all okay! And it doesn’t matter what your mom thinks I understand that some parents aren’t really that open about mental health stuff but just know that you’re not
@kathernyr Yeah, I keep trying to remind myself of that. She was really good to talk to about it actually. Soemtimes I will remember things I told her or someone else a long time ago and feel super anxious about having told them and what they might think. Trying to remember that my thoughts don't define me though
I am having trouble with an obsessive thought now but I am too afraid to share it even on here. 😬🤦🏼♀️
That’s me literally all the time😭
I've been there so many times!
If they’re not willing to at least try to learn about it then you deserve someone who will have the capacity to understand you then find someone else who will be there!🤍
Yep
So, if I'm retelling a story or relaying information to someone, after I'm done speaking, my brain will send me thoughts like, "What if you lied? You might have told the story wrong! You're lying!" I've started second-guessing myself, even when I know I'm not lying or telling the story wrong😭 This has also bled into twisting my intentions behind certain actions... For example, the other day, I'd been babysitting my younger brothers. I'd gone to use the restroom and thought, "What if the door isn't locked or closed all the way?" Because this has happened once in the past. Turns out, it didn't lock correctly, and one of my little brothers almost walked in on me, but luckily, I shut the door in time, and we laughed it off. But then, I kept getting thoughts like, "You knew that would happen, and you didn't double-check! You wanted that to happen and for him to walk in!" :( I know this isn't true, but it's so annoying! Has anyone dealt with this? If you have, do you have any advice on how to deal with these thoughts?
Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?
Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
