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..
Oh and Hannie is my mom's name haha
I’m so glad you are feeling better! I hope you have an amazing day?. That’s so funny that’s your moms name??
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
Hey guys so I suffer from Harm OCD and thoughts about violently harming other and today I’ve been having super minimal thoughts . I had such horrible intrusive thoughts that it feels weird. I’m in constant fear that the thought will come back randomly and the urges will come back stronger than ever. And I’ll actually commit to my urges and act out on them. Like I still Feel weird because even though I don’t have anxiety ... the killer thoughts are in the back of my head. I gueninly don’t dee normal Anymore.
Sometimes I worry that I don’t have ocd and that I’m losing my mind and that I’ll never feel better again. I was starting to feel really good last night and I thought it was finally over so I went ahead and did a lot of the stuff I enjoyed doing before this happened (the reason I had to stop was because certain things were triggering in either one way or another) but eventually I hit a point where I just could not bring myself to do something because it was causing too much anxiety. I got this horrible image last night in a dream and then I began to get a flurry of bothersome thoughts, so now I have 2 obsessions to worry about now. The first one is kind of in control but I’m just afraid what’s going to happen to my brain and I’m worried about having an episode in front of my family, who I’m supposed to be having a small dinner with today. I don’t want to tell them what’s going on but I’m afraid they’ll notice that I’m not well. I’m never present because I’m always in my head analyzing and ruminating and worrying. The feeling last night gave me hope that I could be myself again but I just worry that these thoughts will always linger and make me lose my mind. :(
Do you guys ever feel like you're doing well and you're intrusive thoughts starts to settle down and all of a sudden it comes back. I dont feel well mentally. In the beginning, I had a OCD flare up because of a nightmare I had a few days ago and now I just feel depressed. I'm a content creator and I'm just really afraid that no one will like my work. I feel like a nobody and I feel like I won't be successful because of my intrusive thoughts or the way I look like (i also suffer from body dysmorphia). I just feel like I shouldn't be on this earth.
