OCD is caused by a malfunction in your brain. Unfortunately, its not a part you can control and its not the logical part of your brain.
Ali greymond helps.. you have to do erp so vigorously.. after a while logic will return but you have to do erp for a while without no logic on your side. That will come as a gift after erp.
That my friend is one of the most real and true statements I have read on this forum! You can’t argue with OCD, you can’t teach it logic, no matter what you do. Is it me or do you find that it’s like you have to trust your pre OCD self all the while your feelings are completely opposite?
Yea pretty much in false memory you have to become one with your thoughts , your stuck because your thoughts scare you, we have to put our we are a good person deep in our hearts and know that it’s always going to be there that will never leave us.. but it can’t come out during erp and don’t worry it won’t leave you but he has to stay locked up.. know picture yourself coming out with the full armor and saying to your thoughts let’s become one and start agreeing with everything it says,, it sounds crazy but this is the only way out this is erp baby but it’s our life raft back to shore!
For me everytime I get a traumatic thing or trigger happen to me I think well this time I must have done it/something bc that was too much to handle. I feel suicidal these days :(
I have the same problem.
Are you doing erp?
Yup I am. In erp my therapist has me imagine the situation and then say maybe that happened and then imagine another situation where I was just sitting in my seat imagining the scary thing happening and saying or maybe not
That’s a soft approach.. maybe or maybe not comes with lots of fear in the background. We need to take all fear out.. I agree with my false memory and I tell the thoughts and I enjoyed it .. it’s scary but it works I put my true feelings to the side and tell them I’ll be back but u can’t come with me.. and I go violently at those lies and I agree with them.
So say my false memory was about me choking an old lady dead and leaving her there. What do I say or imagine?
Say I enjoyed that shit and maybe one day I’ll choke another one. Your mind will say your a murderer you deserve to rot in jail. U come back with well I can’t wait in the meantime I might choke another old lady ! Get violent with ocd it wants to throw you around time you throw it around .. ocd gonna be stuck after you come at it with this approach.. but u don’t back off u keep going with this mentality.. after a while you’ll see the benefits of this .. be brave and courageous my sister!
I’ll try my best! Do you also get images and get convinced you killed ppl too?
No mine is intrusive sexual thoughts about harming people.
I’m really scared I have / I’m experiencing psychosis. The symptoms link heavily with my solipsism related thoughts. But then I think ‘no, psychosis is just made up and fake, like everything else’ which distresses me too. I don’t even know if you guys are real. Please help!
If the uncertainty leads me to accept the thing i am running away from how was that not true and if the uncertainty the may be or maybe not in the future gets me to do something i might be in denial of what then?!? This is a possibility and a big one cause if i would have been so sure if myself why would i even question in the first place…And with uncertainty how do i know anything for sure and people who don't know will say they are gender queer so how am i not that.….. ¡ have stopped feeling the anxiety and all these feel real and I don't even react to it cause i am tired and numb to them its like I don't know who i am anymore and everyone with soocd constantly says they know they are straight or whatever and i used to earlier and now I don't why dont i?! Why do i feel like thats a lie or could be a lie and my brain has confused my emotions and feelings to the point where nothing feels real anymore and i feel like an imposter and someone who doesn't know who she is and is suffering…… is this ocd doing this or my thoughts being real just me not realising? Is this ocd i am constantly trying to figure out if the thoughts are real or not and then i say if its real i type all this because i am scared and fear and in denial like where does this end?!
Why is OCD so confusing? My obsessions upset me so much because the truth about them is quite concerning and depressing to me. So how is treating OCD going to help me when it feels like a REAL problem to me. What if I am never able to accept the uncertainty of my issues. It doesn’t even feel like an OCD problem to me…it feels like a reality problem. I’m not happy with reality and the truths about existence, so of course it’s going to make me sad. I guess it’s just my own mind though. My concerns and thoughts are REAL. If I could go back to not thinking about these certain things, my whole perception on life, myself, reality as a whole would be fine. I feel like people tell me it’s OCD but I don’t agree..yet I don’t actually know what the real problem is. What if I can’t accept reality? It’s such a terrifying feeling to have. I feel so crazy.
