Tell your ocd brain youd rather eat then give in to its evil ways. You can’t give in to its evil mind tricks. Accept the thought . You might be a pedo if you eat you might not. “You might be the worst evil, vile person” Accept it and move forward. See what happens. See what happens if you eat. Get curious. Don’t judge it. Just try it. Don’t give in to OCD. It wants to make you suffer ans torture you. Once you start recovering you’ll be surprised why you ever listened in the first place

Not to reassure, but there is no causal connection between eating and being a serial killer. Hopfully tomorrow will be better.

Eat anyway. What ever it tells you do the opposite. If it tells you you’re a serial killer, go hug your family and tell them you love them. Then guess what, OCD will tell you that you’re faking it. That’s ok, keep doing it day in and out and it will get better. Look at this journey as a time to change and change for the better. Go grab some food for the homeless. Be nice, encourage, and love like never before. Healing is on the way, I promise!!

For context: ive been diagnosed with arfid. But my brain refuses to accept it and that i don’t have an issue with eating. So this past weekend has been anything but chill. Today felt like the tip of the iceberg. My mom called me out for having an irrational fear of food textures, food appearances, and smells i find distasteful and told me i just let myself get too carried away by the “what if” “could be” “might be” “looks like/smells like/tastes like..” thoughts. I just have to get over it essentially and stop giving it too much meaning. Its ridiculous. I was taken aback cos we weren’t even talking about food to begin with and it just sort of came up with her. Still in disbelief and so frustrated. Seriously thinking about just isolating myself and not talk to anyone about anything cos i don’t know what to do anymore.

Hi everyone! I just want to share that I’m having a really hard day, selfishly, to feel better. But some of you might relate to it. I’ve been obsessing about my looks and body image. I feel soo ugly, like almost deformed, “abnormal, ill” looking. Like I have never seen anyone that looked as ugly as me. And I spend hours checking myself and doing skincare and using face sculpting tools compulsively. I also feel VERY very alone partially due to this being isolating but also just being back at my (abusive) parents home for the summer. I feel very empty today like nothing makes me excited or matters. I feel like a disgusting, awkward, incapable, undeserving little creature. Like everybody else on this world is in a group chat,and im the only one left out lol. I went shopping today to feel something and ended up compulsively buying stuff and shocker, now im feeling 10x worse, more empty. But I am also stressed about the money and feel extremely guilty. I feel worthless. I guess i should just let me feel the emptiness and feelings that come up without trying to distract myself with something all the time. So yeah thats where I’m at today.
