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 ❤️

I’m having intrusive thoughts
I feel like I’m crazy like I’m so unstable that I don’t deserve anything good in life. That I don’t deserve my bf because I’m too emotional and unwell that he deserves someone who is better than me and who can control their thoughts. I can’t control myself. I’m scared I’ll lose complete control and hurt myself. I’m scared these thoughts will never go away(I know they will) but they won’t leave. I will feel better for 20 mins and then I actually start crying uncontrollably. It’s 1am and I actually cannot help myself I have no idea what to do I just feel so crazy and hopeless. I want someone to hug me and tell me I’ll be okay but no one is with me. I’m alone in a dark room with my orange cat. My bf is in another city rn and I’m having intrusive thoughts about him too. I wish he was here but he’s not coming back until next weekend omg :(

Rough day
I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .

it’s getting worse for me
i’ve already posted about this before but i keep thinking about it. i was sitting next to a dog and it was laying on its back laying face away from me. i kept getting intrusive thoughts about touching the dog inappropriately. and i was petting the dog to prove to myself that i wouldn’t. i remember i was leaning on the dog. then he kicked me with his back legs three times. i also was rotating my shoulder cause it pops and cracks when i do and i was trying to relieve it. i think i touched the dog and on purpose too, because thoughts were going through my head. after the dog kicked me i sat there for a second just pure panic and i ran to the bathroom, just crying non stop. i dont think i deserve to cry tho. i think my life is a over. the more i try to remember the more scary thoughts of what could’ve happened pop up. i’m just in denial and i want to be sent to a mental hospital.
