Please get a therapist that understands OCD and specializes in ERP. ERP is crazy hard, but it works. The more you give into your compulsions the stronger your intrusive thoughts will get and your OCD will get worse as well. Giving in your compulsions does relieve your anxiety. But its very short lived. Learning ERP will give you long lasting relief. You don't have to keep letting OCD take over your life. There is hope. Getting to recovery will take time and a lot of hard work. But recovery is possible. Traditional talk therapy does not work for OCD. In fact, it does more harm than good. Before I knew I had OCD, I did about 10 years of talk therapy. I did what I was supposed to do, but never made much progress. I would go weekly for over 2 years at a time. I felt worse coming out than I did coming in.

That's so terrible, and i was like this, try to focus on something get interested in another things work on self development. I know it seems like i am telling you fairytales but i don't know you must do it. Was there a time when you wasn't think about your sister like this? Because if you remember time like that, try to remember that state of mindset keep trying. I was doing this. Idk how i can help you, but i wish that what i said will help you even a little bit

My mind is trying to tell me it happened and I know it didn’t. This has happened before where I thought something happened and it didn’t. And I was stuck replay the situation and I’m scared.

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ It is OCD and it didn't happened, ocd is what makes you think like this. Keep saying it to yourself please, it may help you.

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ You aren't gonna do something what hurts your sister, because you love her as your sister, ocd is making you think that you don't, but believe me you do. It's your mind, try to listen to your soul.

@set_me_free:) It’s so hard because I’m scared that I’m never going to have a good memory and I’m going to mix things up and I’m going to live in a constant fear

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ You will not, you are not, i want to take from you what you makes you think like that and destroy it. I know it's so hard i know and i hate it, but there must be a way, you don't have to live with that fear all of the time and rest of your life, you don't deserve this. Can't you go to therapist?

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ I googled and one of the way to fight it, is ERP or medicaments. But you can always try ERP again if it won't help you with the first try. You need to go to therapist of ocd i think, and remember that you are not alone, so many people are struggling from it now, but they are fighting, you are fighting too and please don't give up, there is the way out, i belive in that and i promise you it will change, just don't give up, never!

@Anonymous🤷🏽♀️ I readied someone said here that you are not your throughts and you would difenetly knowed if you truly wanted what you are thinking about now. And also every through which starts like "what if" is ocd thing. I find it helpful and i wanted to say that to you. You are not your throughs, remember that and you also aren't weak minded, remember that too. I hope you will be okay ❤️

like I'm suffocating...
these days I feel particularly bad. I can't let the thoughts and those scenes be there without going deeper into it. Everything about my sister has become a trigger for me, and I have the impression that she "turns me on" and creates a big panic. I feel like I can't breathe because I don't know how to let it all go and I don't attach importance... 5 months of ERP and now this, I can't do it, I don't know it...and I don't know what else to do...

I'm tired...
I’ve been spiraling since a workplace incident last Thursday. I had an uncomfortable and tense interaction with a colleague, and it triggered a lot of obsessive rumination. I spent the whole weekend crying, panicking, and replaying everything that happened. Today, I went back to work — and it was really hard. Everyone acted like nothing happened. They joke with him, treat him normally, even though he bullied me and I’m just… sitting there. I didn’t greet him, and he didn’t greet me. I kept to myself, answered questions when I had to, but didn’t socialize. Now I feel scared. Like I’m walking on eggshells. I keep thinking: “What if I say something wrong?” “What if I make a mistake and they say, ‘You see? She’s the problem’? Acting holier than thou & she's a bigot too!" I know this is partly my OCD and trauma talking, but it feels so real. Like I’m one wrong move away from being blamed or alienated. I’ve even started eating lunch in my car to feel safe. I’m trying so hard to hold boundaries, stay professional, and protect my peace. But I’m exhausted. I feel like a shell of myself and I’m scared I’ll break. I was already a little on eggshells cause most of my colleagues say or do something bigoted every now & then...my bigotry ocd is always scared that when I don't confront them. I'm condoning it & becoming them. I'm exhausted. I want to work remotely so I can stay isolated from people. I don't think I'll ever heal from this. I feel like this incident is one of those that permanently changes you. Like when my parents & siblings says I'm not the same anymore. I'm more panicked etc.
