My ocd intrusive thought are 24/7 non stop all day. What I’m doing is just allowing them to be there and making peace with them.

I don’t have intrusive thoughts. My brain just likes to think and talk about every little thing I’m doing or it could be in the pass or singing a song. It’s a cycle everyday. I can’t focus on what I’m doing or sleep

I haven’t done ERP. I’ve never learned about it or talked to a therapist about it. I am lamitcal and zxypera just started last week. I haven’t seen anything change. The only thing to keep my brain calm so far is Ativan but I barely get that not often.

I’m not aware of things going on around me because I am so stuck in my brain. It keeps talking new thoughts and singing songs in my head or words that I just saw on the tv or radio. Being by myself is the worse

I know what your are saying when you say not aware of the things around you. I am saying aware of the OCD constantly at the back of your mind. That hyper vigilance. Yes, saying songs, showing same words and getting reminded of the words....My themes too keep changing like that. Some shapes will remind of something sexual etc

Oh yes I’m definitely aware of the OCD. All it it is a repetitive loop that goes on in my brain 24/7 it doesn’t ever stop. Unless the Ativan kicks in

Yep. Same here. Stops only at the night when I take medicine and sleep. Off it goes again with the first thought in the morning. I really wonder how people with pure o have survived so long as they say they have and also recovered.

At least yours stop at nighttime to go to sleep mine doesn’t at all. It will on forever. Yup right when I open my eyes if I got restful sleep it starts all back over again. I can’t catch a break. Even driving, reading, showering, and eating I can’t get the thoughts out. What do we do! I can’t life like this!

Yap. I have those legs specially in the morning. I didn't know it was side effect of the medicine. I was thinking it was more of anxiety reaction

Afraid I’ll never be able to stop thinking
My OCD has been terrible the for the past two weeks. I have a fear that I will never be able to get out of the thought loop. I am hyper aware of my thoughts and it disturbs me. I haven’t been able to eat for 10 days. I force myself. I haven’t been able to sleep for more than a couple hours. Then I wake up and ruminate for a couple hours, until I’m exhausted. I’m also afraid I’ll never sleep well again. And I’m afraid I’ll never eat and enjoy my food again. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to stop thinking about this enough to enjoy my family ever again.
