I understand going through the same thing
The fact that you’re pushing through is good, and I know it’s so hard not to seek reassurance. By pushing and pushing (and with some growth in wisdom) you’ll hopefully learn that these feelings are *just* feelings. The illusions will show its true face, you won’t be deceived by ocd any longer. Keep boldly optimistic in order to persevere, I wish you the best with this. If you believe in God, Pray for help with this issue also. I’m fully confident that God helped me to get to where I am today in terms of anxiety management.
On the same road - no word of wisdom other than you’re not alone with being at war with your mind.
So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget
This situation just happened and I can definitely remember how it went but my brain is telling me otherwise and I know you guys said to sit with the uncertainty but what if the intrusive thought is so bad like disgusting, I can’t sit with that. Maybe it’s false memory but this just happened. I don’t even know how to live with this
does anyone else with this theme feel like their suic. ocd skyrockets when something in your life happens?? i’ve been doing so good managing these thoughts and not panicking, but i had a event happen in my life and all of them are back hitting hard. i’m arguing with myself on whether im actually depressed or not and “what if this means my thoughts are real”, it’s all what if thoughts, but because ive been doing so good with them, what if they are real this time? like im panicking again because im scared they are real? like i’m not depressed im just going through a few things right now. idk what it is. but i really need tips on how to help with setbacks and what to do to stop myself from arguing with my mind when i already know the truth.
