So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.

I know I keep talking about This but Iām too tired :( Iām really struggling and I donāt know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. Itās gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like Iām acting on a thought ā like my body is moving because of it. Itās terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second⦠but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like Iāll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me āitās just OCD,ā but it doesnāt feel like OCD to me. It feels like Iām the exception ā like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say āothers go through this too,ā but my mind keeps saying, ānot like this, not this specific thing.āSometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know thatās not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I donāt even know who I am anymore. Iām scared Iām a bad person and that Iāll always feel this way. Iāll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

I've had a horrific subtype that has been affecting my day to day life. I think it's snuck in due to good things occurring in my life. If I can't forgive myself for my past, why should others? I'm happy knowing I'm not alone with these thoughts, but knowing it was OCD all along and I could have suffered so much less if I was diagnosed as a child... Decades worth of compulsive checking, thinking I'm worse than a monster... I just want to breathe normally again. I feel guilt with each breath. It's too much.
