@Just Breathe ❤️ I'm sorry if I haven't been understanding friend... and I'm sorry I haven't been replying to you as much, I haven't been able to get on the OCD app much the past few days. I've just been busy, and when I have had any free time I've just felt exhausted from life and my OCD and I haven't really felt like doing anything. I don't know why this is happening to you Just Breathe... I really don't... and I don't know why any of this is happening to any of us... but I do believe that you're truly experiencing OCD and that it's REALLY fighting hard against you right now. You're NOT in denial, you do NOT actually like the thought you're having. What do you think would convince you that the thought you're having isn't true? If you can't convince yourself that it isn't true then I don't think our reassurance we give you will help much either unfortunately... I don't say that to be rude though friend, I'm just saying that to make the point that reassurance does NOT work... You know that it's an intrusive thought from your OCD that you're having, you said that yourself, and that alone proves that you do NOT like the thoughts that you're having, it shows that it's just simply an intrusive thought, but I realize the thought is making you miserable though, and I can relate to that feeling, I've worried about thoughts for days and weeks at a time too, but I can tell you that it will be okay friend. Take a moment to breathe and just let it sink in that you are a child of God and remind yourself that God loves you. You do NOT deserve this misery that you're feeling, you deserve to be happy friend, you REALLY do deserve happiness Just Breathe. Well, I realize I'm 21 hours late or so to this post, so I'm really sorry about that... but I hope this reply will give you some encouragement for today. Keep up the good fight friend, it will all be okay. Have courage! And know that we are here for you. I am here for you! :) I have another song I think you'd like, if you'd like to hear it... but if not that's okay too. It's not a Christian song, but it is encouraging. I think it represents the theme of this community very well actually.

@Drew777 Thank you so much friend! I truly understand. I’ve been trying to distance myself from the app for a bit to see if maybe it would help. I hope this all will pass. I understand I’ve been asking too much for reassurance and I truly apologize for that. I just get where I have to have the answers and know what’s happening. Unfortunately that’s how OCD is. I hope that you are doing well friend! What’s the song you would like me to listen to? I love hearing new songs to add to my playlist!

@Just Breathe ❤️ The song is called "Falling Down" by Concord Dawn (Featuring. Tali) Here's a link to the song. - https://youtu.be/969t3YNDenA It's a Drum & Bass song, but I feel like the lyrics are very encouraging. :)

@Just Breathe ❤️ You're not asking too much for reassurance, you're just in a difficult place right now where reassurance feels like the answer, and I can relate to that, I believe all of us on this app can. And you just want and need someone to help you and encourage you right now, which is something we all want and need and can relate to too! I can understand why you feel that way, I really can friend. You're not alone in this Just Breathe, just remember that.

@Just Breathe ❤️ You're always welcome friend. :) I hope you'll like the song, I know it's probably pretty different than what you would normally listen to though.

By the way, this isn't a link to the song I was talking about before, but I found this other post on this app that I think would offer you some great encouragement right now too, so I just thought I would share it with. :) https://nocd.page.link/te2QUSovLXM3rvtw6

So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s 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 I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — 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 “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

It’s getting so bad I think I’ve been dealing with scrupulosity but I’m always doubting if it’s actually ocd or if I’m just telling myself that as a excuse for being a “bad Christian”. It’s not only that, it’s everything I have had ocd thought loops in the past but they’ve been so unbearable lately and once one goes away another one starts. It’s been really focused on making me feel liek everything is my fault and I don’t know how to stop that when it actually could be. Then there’s this guy we were talking and he was telling me what he needed out of a relationship and asked me to tell him the same and now I’m so scared I’m gonna ruin something he said trust is really important to him. I was taking to one of our shared friends about us and I’m scared I said something he wouldn’t wanted me to say and that he’s not going to trust me now and I keep thinking about how I really should not have talked to her and it’s killing me. I’m also scared that I’m not gonna tell him something that happened in the past because I don’t think it’s important and he’s going to find out and be mad I feel like rocd is ruining my relationship that’s not even a relationship yet. I just keep thinking through all the different scenarios how I could ruin us up or it could work and I promise myself it will be the last time I think about it and it never is and it’s just constant from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep and then I think maybe Gods just trying to warn me but I’m so exhausted or being this anxious because that doesn’t seem like Him but then maybe it is and I’m just trying to get what I want. I want to ask for help so bad but every time I do it feels like there really isn’t anything wrong and I don’t actually have any ocd. I don’t want to talk to my family about it, when it’s come up before they either make rude comments or make fun of me for it they really just don’t understand and I don’t know what to do anymore. sometimes it doesn’t even feel like it’s worth getting better tbh. Thank you for reading it all if you did :)
