this is so embarrassing to talk about but i watched p*rn last night (even tho i shouldn’t have) and i started getting the thought that what if i really am turned on thinking about being the guy that is having s*x with the girl. Like it felt like i really just want to be the guy which scares me so much cuz now my mind won’t get over that and it seems like i obviously have to be transgender if i felt like that. I just don’t know what to do anymore it seems so real but i don’t want it to be

Is there anyone out there with POCD that can talk to me right now? I am really struggling and scared.

I feel so sad.

Any suggestions on getting over breakup?

I had a pretty bad setback with my anxiety since the attempted break in last night. I'm going to work on using reframing techniques, mindfulness, self compassion, and getting back to self care-basic ADLs today.

Okay so... My place of employment got robbed. Someone took all the money on the premise and even got into the safe (where two of my paychecks were). They think it's a former employee (actually, there are a lot of theories going around). My boss posted some pictures on the Facebook page and this dude is really, really creepy. Like the pictures of the guy. So last night when I was going to bed, just the image of that guy was in my brain. I'm afraid they'll come after me next for some reason. I'm afraid to be alone or be in a dark room, especially alone and if I turn around they'll just be there. This is causing me a lot of anxiety. It's not fun. I'm also worried that the person robbing it might be me eve tho that's so unlikely, but they think it's a employee or a former employee. I dont even know that code to the safe. So yeah this is great.

If you have harm ocd/ pure o is a psychiatrist a better option then a therapist?

I have been feeling sad, anxious and stressed the whole day ( actually for 2 weeks straight). My ROCD thoughts are less but still here somewhere. I saw that my boyfriend turned off his snap location.. it brought some panic with it at that moment. But now I feel like my body is burning... But I don't feel anything or have any thoughts coming up... It feels like I don't care anymore... Am I emotionally numb (cause of not having any thoughts or feelings)?

Is it a common rocd thing for you to feel great immediately after a hangout/date then start to question your feelings when you’re not around them? I felt so content after our last date. Now im like “do I really like her?” “Am I leading her on”? Can anyone who has/ has had partner focused Rocd help?

Some practical ERP advice needed please: if you are ruminating and obsessing over something that you feel you might need to make a decision on right NOW, is the method to resist the compulsion to make a decision/think you need to make a decision? So to experience the discomfort in wanting to make a decision immediately and choose to ride it out and not act on it?

I have so much anxiety today but I don’t even have a reason to have it. Does anyone else feel as if something’s a threat even though there isn’t one?

How to go on in your day when OCD makes you feel like a bad person early in the morning and you try to shake off that feeling or feeling on not being you?

How do you decide with whom/when/how much you share about your OCD? I haven't shared with one of my friends, as she has had less-than-supportive responses when I've shared other medical/mental health things with her. She recently made some comments about OCD (you know the ones - "I love to plan and organize. I'm so OCD."). When reading her texts I was seething, as those sorts of comments are so diminishing and hurtful. I know that she doesn't mean harm by these things, so part of me wants to tell her how I've been battling OCD (the real kind, not the kind that likes to color coordinate socks) for the past year. I want to explain why "I'm so OCD" makes me so freaking angry. But if I do this, I take the risk of her not supporting me in the way I would expect. I take the risk of her thinking "What's the big deal. We're all a little OCD." Is it worth it, or do I just go on and try to ignore those comments? What experiences (positive and negative) have you all had when sharing about your OCD with others?

Anyone else feel like this can’t be OCD anymore? I’m finding people I don’t wanna find attractive, attractive and having these weird thoughts. It just doesn’t feel like OCD bc I can live like nothing is wrong and feel like nothing is wrong but have these constant thoughts that I’m gay. I feel so hopeless.

Skipping classes is so addicting once you start. Don’t do it. Even out of anxiety. It’ll just increase more

It’s crazy how once you get over a theme another one arrives to fuck your life up some more

Is it ok to make mistakes at my job… I am getting better at a lot of things but I’ve been working there for about 2 months now and I still make mistakes. My manager loves me but I get worried that she will fire me sometimes

What do you guys think the difference is between “I miss you” and “I miss talking to you”

I’m fighting my severe ocd and compulsions today I’m im really struggling any support would be much appreciated

Dealing with what I think is relationship OCD. I know my marriage isn’t perfect, but I feel I’m picking it apart. Googling whether things are normal. I feel like I’m going out of my head not knowing whether what I’m imagining is wrong is real or OCD talking.

We got this guys!! We are strong and determined! Hoping everyone has a great day full of you all defeating the enemy! Just breathe.

Anyone’s ROCD triggered by music & love songs/heart break etc

I get new intrusive thoughts but get little or no anxiety and it feels so real ? This is so confusing 🥴

😊👋

Does anyone feel like OCD has stolen their life away from them?

Hey guys! I’m really struggling at the moment with my OCD and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to handle egodystonic urges?

How to deal with false memories when it comes to something so bad and disgusting? It is all so strange because I remember the situation but I have the feeling that I am missing something

Hey, I have ROCD and currently im in long term relationship which causes me a lot of stress. My current biggest problem is that I have to take a serious decision concerning my future from which some doubts about mu girlfriend started sneaking into my head. However, I know its bullshit but still there are times these thoughts cause me a lot of suffering and to be honest maybe I don’t have a consistent strategy plan. Sometimes i just ignore them as my psychologist suggested to do, sometimes I investigate them which I know is wrong and sometimes I accept them and try to expose to them but in this case I become emotionally dumb and i feel nothing which scares the shit out of me. Besides, I have the feeling that every single action I take has a great influence on my relationship. For example if I smoke weed my psychologist told me that for the next 10 days I could be more vulnerable to ocd than usual which could lead to being a worse boyfriend and then problems in my relationship. I’ve never been a “weed guy”, I’ve just done it a couple of times in my life, but since im now in college i find it fun sometimes and last time when I smoked which was five days ago I felt fine and laughing all the time. Now I have rocd thoughts but i also had them before smoking. Yesterday I wanted to try doing it again but i felt i would feel extreme guilt after that. At the same time i sensed ocd is stopping me from having fun and I just dont know what is the correct thing to do. I want to be the best bf for my gf, i love her to the moon and back and yesterday I didnt smoke. However, i think that by smoking i would expose myself to one of my fears, so what do you think? Is it gonna make my rocd worse for the next ten days or not? Cause when im high i feel nice,like i recognize the intrusive thoughts and just tell them ok fuck off, the problem is about the next ten days, can weed make me another person, can it change my true feelings, can it make my rocd worse for the next 10 days?

Can you use compulsions against the distress you get when you don't give in to compulsions?

I realized the strangest thing- I am terrified of being late to the point of obsession! My timing has to be perfect or else I can’t leave or go somewhere. I think this is OCD. Does anyone understand or have any tips? I know I should “just do it” but it is not that easy, my SUDS are so high!

Does anyone have any tips for dealing with pure O?

I have a gf and now ocd is making me think I’m attracted to my ex best friend In a sexual way when I’m not 🤦🏽‍♂️

Can some one help me please

Struggling

i really tried to resist a compulsion but i just couldn’t do it. the worst part is is it didn’t really give me any answers so now i’m just really anxious and freaking out

Treatment is really to expensive? AM i the only one that is so hopeless because this treatment is really expensive. Im sure a lot of people dont have 400 euro each month to do effective treatment . This world is so crazy. We are fucking suffering and we have to be rich to stop suffering. Its not our choice to have this. Do we ? This makes me so mad cause all over the world this happens. Its all about money money money. And you can say to learn Erp is expensive , that that people are also on the money. Cause this should be not expensive but something everyone should be Able to learn. To live in freedom and a happy LIFE.

Does anyone else can’t come to terms that this is them now with OCD? It’s a weird feeling like I look at my parents and feel like this guilt or shame and disbelieve at how I have ocd and what I did to deserve it? I also look at old pictures of my old self to feel connected to myself but I don’t feel anything instead I feel ashamed at how that happy person had no idea she was about to face this and have ocd. Even saying that I have OCD sounds like im dreaming and I’ll wake up from this bad dream. Does anyones else feel like this almost like distant. How do we accept that we are now individuals with OCD and have to learn to cope for the rest of our lives? It almost feels like I’m a stranger to the world and trying to make myself whole again. It’s weird how ocd brings up so many complex feeling. Lol.

When i think so much and then say all this thinking means something cause it feels so real do i even try to fight with it saying no?!? Its not or cross questioning sometimes i just don’t i like am okay with it kinda accept it and if i do that what does that mean cause if I don’t believe in it why would I accept it and not fight it and have a problem. They feel too real to fight sometimes its like lying to oneself but if i say or feel that does that mean I believe in what i am denying?!? What does that mean then?!? My brain is so foggy and constantly confused idk what to think and what not…

I feel so mentally exhausted. Can't I go by a day without these thoughts filling my mind? I'm really considering NOCD therapy again, hopefully my parents consider as I ask them for the second time 😟

I was told that while my new meds kick in that I wouldnt feel so good but wow it's worse than I thought. Did anyone else on medication get really weird vivid nightmares??

Just a reminder that we can all get through this and refuse to give in to the rituals!!!

idk how compulsions work but everytime i perform a mental compulsion it just makes the intruisve thoughts worse. it brings me no reassurance anymore but i can't stop performing them.

hey i'm really freaking out, can someone please reply? i truly believe i'm with my twin flame, my soulmate, whatever you wanna call it. i'm very spiritual and just know that i'm with the person i want to be with. i've had relationship OCD a lot and i just watched this tiktok of a video saying something along the lines of "when you have the feeling of just knowing you're with your twin flame, you aren't, it's only about learning how to love yourself and then you break up and then you find your actual twin flame/life partner etc" and i feel sooooo fucking triggered, i haven't felt so triggered in a long ass time. i feel like my ocd is saying i'm super triggered because i know it's true? like i know my partner and i are going to break up and then i'll find someone else blah blah blah and it makes me literally feel like i want to die. i hate these thoughts. i hate that i get so triggered by videos like this. i always think seeing tiktok videos like that means it's for a reason and i was meant to hear it and i can't even think logically anymore i just fully believe what they are saying to me like it's the bible or something. i'm just frustrated that OCD gets to me like this especially after i've healed so much from relationship OCD. i'm fucking freaked out.

most of the time if anything, i just feel frustrated and confused

Can OCD make you less attracted to people?

I don’t know what’s worse: knowing that my obsessions are dumb, or knowing that they’re dumb and not being able to stop the mental compulsions anyway.

Not asking for reassurance but my friend was crying talking about how mad her depression has been and I can relate to her but instead of feeling for her I felt like laughing. I don’t know why, the urge to laugh is their but I don’t like it I fear it tells me something about how bad of a person I am. I’ve also feel like when people talk about their mental health I feel like i try to distance and but a barrier to what I am feeling almost guarding my emotions. Idk I just needed to get that out.

Me 🤣

I just got prescribed the generic of Luvox. Would anyone be willing to share their experience? Thanks in advance

“Groinal responses” feel so real :(

I’ve been crying so much lately and I don’t know why. I didn’t have many symptoms these past few weeks and although I encountered some triggers over the weekend, and I am having thoughts that I don’t like, it feels like the crying and anxiety (it’s also not as crippling as it usually is when I have a flare up) is related to the fear of my ocd getting bad again. And every time I have an intrusive thought, I immediately check how I’m responding to the thought. I try to figure out whether or not it’s a lapse. Then I start thinking about how terrible I felt when I was going through an intense ocd episode and it just brings me to tears thinking about how much pain I was in. I did an ERP exercise with my therapist today and I didn’t feel as much anxiety as I expected to and I don’t know if it’s because my ocd has switched themes or what is going on in my head right now. I feel very confused. Sorry this is so long…

lol i feel this deeply

nothing seems right anymore, it’s a constant not knowing what i’m feeling or wanting

I’m 21 now rewatching a play through of this video game Life is Strange 2. I remember when i was around 19 i watched the game for the first time and really liked the main character Sean Diaz who is 16 when the game takes place. He was a very well written and cool character, I also remember finding him attractive. It didn’t bother me much as back then i didn’t have a pocd theme, and even remember seeing stuff about pocd and thinking to myself “thank god i don’t have that that sounds horrible, i know i’m not a pedophile.” Unfortunately now pocd is a big theme for me and i often freak out specifically about when i find fictional minors (video game characters, cartoon characters, or anime characters) attractive. Like i said i’m 21 now and am freaking out because i still really like sean diaz as a character and find him to be attractive/cute. What are some exposures and exercises I can do so i can just enjoy rewatching the game instead of freaking out whether i’m a horrible person for liking the main character.

Ugh I can feel my so-ocd slowly coming back 🙄

Hello my name is Mar, As Marwa Has anyone had a OCD that was worse? Mines back in 2019

Anyone else want dark mode here someday?

I’m sick of feeling constantly afraid. If I mess up in work, it ruins half my night, if I do something wrong in school I feel like throwing up. I just feel like I can’t do anything right, and because of that I always am afraid

Anyone try Brainsway TMS for OCD?

Hello all! I am new to NOCD and am excited to start working on ERP with my therapist, but I was just wondering how ERP can help with intrusive thoughts? Like, I totally get how ERP can help with compulsions, but what if you don’t have any obvious compulsions and you mostly just struggle with obsessive, repetitive thoughts? Many thanks for any responses :)

I have a question for ppl with pocd. Is it common for you to get stuck in a loop afraid that you might do something bad but then the next hour or day or minute your confident you would never do anything. I feel like this defines where my pocd is. It’s gone through different phases interestingly enough and what I was fearing a year ago with pocd is not really what I fear now so it’s like it’s constantly evolving. But yeah I just feel like I go back and forth from being confident I won’t to terrified I’ll do something awful. Anyone else

I’m trying to overcome fear of fear at the moment. I’m going home next week for thanksgiving break and I’m scared because some of my lowest moments occurred their when I wasn’t yet diagnosed with OCD. It’s been three months from my big OCD episode. It was especially centered around harm ocd towards my mother and pet. It was so scary at that time like I didn’t eat for days constant anxiety and now when my friends talk about going home I feel terrified. Although, I’m not struggling as bad with harm ocd now as back then I fear that all those bad days that I experienced will come back and that my intrusive thoughts would be true. I want to feel excited cause the holidays are my favorite to spend with my mother and yet I’m just scared of what’s to come. I just don’t want to get back to that place. I’ve gone back home before but I wasn’t that deep into treatment but I hadn’t developed those skills yet to sit with the uncertainty. Those times I wanted to run and go back to my dorm but when I was in my dorm I felt guilty for not enjoying my time with my mother. I also fear that my new theme that I’m going through right now will worsen. Any advice?

Is it just me or a side effect of ocd is being sensitive? I’ve felt hyper sensitive this week, idk if its like a form of scrupulosity or smthn. And its leading to people pleasing too bc i feel like im hurting ppl if i say no or dont put in effort. So in person, i feel like i give off anxious energy or people please on compulsion. Always scared of negative attention or criticism

Have a great night everyone, here's a pic from today's road trip y'all :) peak me in the back 🤣 timer pics are hard to do! Just a reminder that this time will pass and you are so much more than your thoughts ❤

how to not do confessingish compulsion so as you may know from my post a year ago i did something which real event is attacking at the time i remember my mom saying "did you ***" she said what i did but i was like "what the heck" then she said she was joking but ocd wont believe it 4 years later my OCD is telling me to tell her that i didnt do that it wont believe that it's a joke because its your coincidental for her to make a joke about something i actually did

Hi guys -- breathing OCD (sucks). How do you deal with the normal sensations? Say walking up the stairs so you are out of breath + working out, etc. This OCD subtype is very tricky because it is a natural thing to notice your breath every now and then especially if you are being physical. It's not like I will never notice again. Oh. I am really trying to keep my head on straight. I KNOW this is an irrational connection that started after I had an anxiety attack at my friend's house. In hindsight, I shouldn't have gone. I was working through Intrusive thoughts and didn't know I had OCD. Thanks again. I know I keep whining on here. I try not to do it every day anymore.

I'm finally getting therapy after trying for so long to find an affordable option!!!! So excited to finally get help and feel myself again!!

..

I’m not sure if these are intrusive thoughts either way I feel like ✨garbage✨

I cant tell if i sexually harrassed a guy. This hot guys pant was kimda loose and i noticed that and there was 2 inches from where the pant shpuld be and i joticed that and i dont thonk i checked that out just kinda notixed it. But what if i did check him out wpuld that be sexual harramsebt like how looking up a girls skirt is sexual harraasment

starting to think that they are better off without me, my heart hurts

Is feeling like you’re trying to convince yourself your partner is a good person / treats you right a common obsession in rocd?

Literally I recovered from all themes and relapsed again and ocd is telling me my current theme which is pocd is true why is it so ugly and doubtful like ocd is just ass 💀

Relationship OCD is taking over my life and ruining my relationship. Has anyone been through something similar? Looking for advice/support as I am really struggling right now. After months of constant doubts regarding my partner of 4 years and our relationship, I decided to leave him and take a break for right now. I am so sad because I love him so much and we have a great relationship overall. However, my nonstop thoughts about whether we are sexually compatible were getting to be too much. I believe my perceived “need” for sex may also be partially OCD related. I do have a very high sex drive and feel as though I need to have sex every day or ideally at least 4-5x per week in order to feel good and improve my mood. I mean, I know sex makes everyone feel good. But I feel like I can’t be truly happy unless I am in a relationship where I have sex very frequently. I keep track of how many times per week/month I have sex and get upset when I see it hasn’t been a lot. I am unable to distinguish whether I just have a very high sex drive or whether this is anxiety/ocd driven, but I think it’s both. I get very anxious as the day goes on and my partner still has not initiated sex. I become frustrated with him and resentful. He can sense my anxiety and frustration which turns him off even more, which makes sex even less frequent and thus makes me feel even worse. It really is a vicious cycle. This is the reason I decided to leave. I feel as though he is just not sexual enough for me. Other than the sex issue, our relationship is good. I am paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice either way. I’m terrified of losing the man I love over something that may just be an aspect of my OCD. But I am also terrified of staying in a relationship where I am never sexually satisfied. I am unable to distinguish what is real and what is just my OCD. It feels horrible to live like this.

Dating ocd HI! I'm so sorry for venting here... I have no one to talk to about this... I don't even know this is ocd or not! I just feel so guilty after. I need a friend. Just someone to talk to. I have horrible thoughts about my girlfriend. Sometimes that I should find someone better. Others is like "you don't love her" And I hate them. I always regret them. But sometimes I just wonder if we are compatible (we are) and my brain says no. And then... It's just a mess of thoughts.... Basically I have horrible thoughts and I feel like I don't deserve her. Sometimes I cry so hard knowing she deserves better but I don't want to lose her... I keep telling myself "it's just thoughts. You didnt do anything wrong" but I can't forgive myself. She deserves better. I'm so lucky to have her... She's really wonderful to me and cares about me. I'm so sorry... Please don't hate me...

So some days ago a girl who was 2 years younger than me sent me a message on instagram saying that she wanted to get to know me but it was worded in a very "creepy" way. She obviously didn't mean to, I mean, I was more awkward at her age, so I was sympathetic of her not so good conversational skills. I think she had a crush on me and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I replied saying that it wasn't a problem for me to get acquainted but that I wasn't searching for anything. Then she started to send me a lot of awkward messages that made me uncomfortable. I didn't want to ghost her so I kept replying with short messages, after a while I stopped answering and just started liking the messages (the universal way to end a convo) However she continued to send me messages about her daily life, like if I were a diary of some sort. It started becoming a bit creepy and overwhelming so I asked advice to my friends and they told me to block her and so I did. I didn't want to hurt her feelings but I ended up making things far worse. I shouldn't have replied to her in the first place. I probably made her feel like shit, I'm afraid she will lose her self-esteem over this. Why do I always have to end up like the asshole of the story. I'm sick of this shit, I always cause incidents and misunderstandings, even when I have the best of intentions.

Hey guys, so I’ve been avoiding using my phone since researching and looking things up is an extreme compulsion for me, so I’ve avoided it all day, and I feel okay I guess, still a lot of ruminating though. I felt the need to “m” word just now so I didn’t use my phone to look up porn because that’s a compulsion as well and just makes me feel terrible, so I decided just to do it without thinking seeing anything. But while I was doing it I imagined doing stuff with a former professor of mine and I feel terrible, is it wrong to do that? I’ve definitely thought of people I know in real life before while doing it, but I’ve stopped because I just think it’s gross. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can think during?

Can someone just please tell me if they feel the same way ? my ocd is bad but when i get in a relationship it gets worse like the false attraction and just my mind telling me i dont wanna be w my partner or that i dont even like them and that i would be better with the other gender?

Ughhh I wish I could dm on here. Some of you have literally saved me. User @maybe, maybe not if you ever see this (I doubt you will but it’s worth a try) THANK YOU. Some stuff you told me in the summer continues to help me today. Bless you and all the best.

Does anyone else ever feel, like just not good at all? It’s hard to explain. It’s a weird, but awful feeling in my stomach and a headache, and weird sensation behind my eyes. I thought it could be depersonalization/derealization but it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. It’s mostly like this when I’m having intrusive thoughts or even when I’m not, like the anxiety is gone but now it’s back yet I can’t feel it anymore so it’s a new feeling. Also, I can’t stop obsessing about my future and if I can even have one. A lot of my friends from high school and family are moving on with their life, getting married, graduating or even returning to school, buying homes or moving out, all the while I’m stuck in my room most of the time. Can anyone else relate?

Hey can anyone answer if your ocd sometimes gives you an intrusive thought that tells you it’s not ocd which can be super stressful bc you know it is

feeling emotionless when it comes to my person

I am so tired of my OCD. I just want to enjoy my relationship and not have so many intrusive thoughts and feelings. It seems like when things are going really good I then get triggered and everything is messed up again 😔

I live in Minnesota and I have medical insurance through the state is that kind of insurance acceptable does any one know ???

Help I’m freaking out!! I saw dog poo around me on the street and I thought that I probably stepped on it but nothing actually stuck to my shoes so I went into my house as usual , and then thought maybe there was a trace of bacteria and it’s all round my carpet should I be worried

does anyone have experience with rTMS?

Its ridiculous that any Dr. Offering ERP doesnt take insurance

Hey I'm really sad.. it's not even ocd i just feel really depressed... 8 month ago doctors told me that I have a chronic pain; and there's no cure for now. It can get better but it will never end. It is a pain that only women have, a problem of nerves, that make sex semi-impossible for me because it is REALLY PAINFUL. it is a thing that less that 10% of woman have. But why me?? I always wanted a life full of intimacy, and I can't have it. I hate and I can't take the fact that there are people who can do it really easily, I really envy them and I feel like I'm not worth of living anymore

Has any of yall had some theme of ocd (pocd especially) and saw it go away without you going to therapy? And if you saw your ocd theme go away naturally, please tell me what was going on in your mind that made this theme not a threat anymore? I have pocd and Im just tired to have intense anxiety, automatically check for arousal and groinal responses as soon as I see a child on the street or on my screen.

Anyone else’s ROCD switch up on them? One second I’m worried if I love him anymore or not and the next I’m worried if he loves me. 😐 How do I tackle this?

i keep having these mean thoughts about this random guy and i feel so bad abt it. i find him kinda annoying but i don’t want to think these rlly mean thoughts and i’m just rlly irritated with my mind rn

Am I the only one who sometimes thinks my friends are not real and fake or something?

does anyone else go through this thing when you’re having intrusive thoughts, the last thing you touched is something you avoid because it’ll remind you of the intrusive thought? I’m really struggling with doordashing right now cause i’m having problems with touching my steering wheel. i know it sounds stupid af. i’m on the verge of wanting to cry and give up because this is my only means of income as of right now, and i need my car for such. everyday is like having a lump in my throat because how can i live like this? it’s so hard and i’m so exhausted.

idk if this is a silly question but i have pure o & i've been looking into erp, but i'm thinking that it won't work & i won't be able to control my mental compulsions, since we can't control our thoughts. how am i supposed to stop reassuring myself, checking/repeating memories etc. if i physically can't control it? is there a way? most sources say erp works great for pure o too & i just don't understand, help appreciated

Hello, can you please help me :( I'm only 14 and last night I had the scariest most nerve racking dream I ever had. I usually get nightmares and this was by far the worst. My OCD is not helping me and it keeps telling me I'm a terrible person because of my sub conscious. I'm still super anxious about my dream and I keep doing mental rituals.

Feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack at the gym I’m trying to breath deeply

If you do counting as a mental compulsion in just right/tourettic OCD.. are you supposed to stop that all together? How do you 🛑?

I’m really struggling at the moment. I’m not responding to ERP very well. I haven’t been able to self monitor because my brain is so foggy. And I always feel like I’m faking a smile when inside I feel on the verge of a panic attack. My brain is consumed with intrusive thoughts about not having OCD. I feel constantly sick and overwhelmed. I’m not looking for reassurance because I know that will make it worse in the long run. I’m just looking for support and someone who understands/has any suggestions of what I can do to feel even the slightest bit better.

Im so happy I found this app! I don’t feel alone anymore and when I have a bad day because of my OCD you guys understand me because you experience the same thing and that makes me feel less lonely:)
