I have struggled with these weird thoughts too. Our brains are meant to think of everything and anything even the crazy ideas. The only reason why you’re so focused on them is because they bother you. I’m not trying to reassure you because I know that makes things worse but I’m just letting you know that I am right there with you. Still follow your dreams. You’re not your OCD you just have OCD. Sending positive vibes?

And when you think one thought is done the next one comes... that's true though, that's what makes the mind so interesting I guess. That's so true, it's not the thought that's the problem, it's giving it attention. I am glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this on this app haha. I am thank you, regardless of the ocd I WILL follow my dreams, I won't let this take it from me. Thanks for the positive words, I got out today and feel much better already. :)

I know right! What an annoying disorder??. I do music myself and I feel like the last couple weeks I could've been progressing so well but this OCD is pushing me back so much! And I don't know to end up being a "could've been" and want to achieve my dreams and my goals!

I think we need to treat it as a bully, because I think this will help us remember who We really are and start to ignore the ocd thoughts - and in turn treat them as they just are. Random thoughts.

It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between a thought and reality. That's whatmakes this suck so much. I just push trhough it and try to keep busy. Actually I think although it's difficult sometimes it's very important to still persue your dreams and go on with life as normal as possible. Otherwise like you said you feel shitty about that too haha giving up on a dream etc..

Awh it's nice to hear you are feeling better! Yeah me too, I just finished at the gym to clear my head and I feel 10x better. I think sometimes we all just need to come back to earth, go for a walk, go hang out with friends. It reminds us we are not alone and we are connected to the world

I was doing so much better with my OCD. I thought I finally figured it out. However, the last two weeks have been a nightmare. It’s like I went from 0-100 all over again. And it’s become scarier than it ever has been. Every other thought is either causing me anxiety or turning into an intrusive thought. Any headache or feeling of derealization, and I start to spiral. My thoughts are becoming more gruesome and feeling more real. The intrusive urges are so bad it feels like at any moment I could actually just snap. It feels like I am about to go crazy. Another hard aspect is when I’m getting these intrusive urges it feels like I want to do it or I don’t care if I do it. I don’t feel like myself. I feel like this disgusting monster who is just going to lose it and I want it to be over. Why is this happening when I was finally better? It makes me feel like it’s not OCD and I’m actually this person and I’m just holding my true self back. I’m sick to my stomach.

My ocd has been flaring up lately I’ve noticed some things that I don’t know if it’s ocd or something else whenever I seen someone like drugged or sick or just not “normal” I feel like or get scared that’s gonna end up being me? Does that make sense or then after a few minutes I feel like I’m them I don’t know exactly how to explain it I feel like I’m gonna start acting crazy or like I act weird or like them ? Idk exactly how to explain it and I have such a drop in my stomach thinking of it because it makes me feel insane, I haven’t had such an ocd episode so it’s getting hard again and making me feel insane specially because I don’t know how to explain this that I feel, I feel so scared rn can someone please comment on this?

so this all started not too long ago, for literally no reason at all. but one day i got a random intrusive thought about harming others and it freaked me out bad. since then i’ve been non stop focusing on it and im genuinely scared that i am, or gonna end up like those sick people that have documentaries about them. i’ve never had these types of thoughts before and after me and my mom looked a lot of stuff up we think i have OCD cuz a lot of the stuff it was saying was accurate to me. to anyone in here, does this sound like OCD to you? i’ve always been a nice loving person and these thoughts freak me out so bad and make me feel like i’m a bad gross person. it got to the point i don’t even like looking at myself anymore. i just wanna go back to normal man. another thing to add, when i would explain this to my mom even though i was telling the full truth on how crappy this made me feel it felt like i was lying almost? but i know i wasn’t deep down. i’m just scared that what if i act on something or get in my head too much you know?
