Hey!! I have health OCD wondering what everyone else struggles with and how you cope with things? Just seeing if there are similar story’s out there! 😊
I also have health ocd!! mixed with a few others haha. I struggle pretty hard with the aspect of always thinking there will be some form of illness or infection, and I will be too late to catch it. I’m still on the learning how to cope end of things. I luckily have a very kind partner who will talk me down when I start to spazz. I have to refrain from giving into my compulsion- it gets 10x worse when I do lol
@alyssaw Thank you for sharing!!! If I have a pain in my chest which is normally caused by my anxiety I resort to the worst thing possible and spiral out of control. You are lucky to have a partner that understands!!!
I convince myself atleast 2-3 times a week I'm dying. I will freak out about if I'm having a heart attack, stroke, or any other random thing.. I usually just spiral and freak out until I either come to peace with dying or just convince myself I'll be ok. It's not great coping mechanisms really but I haven't found anything else that eases the paranoia/anxiety.
Was wondering if anyone liked to share how they deal with Severe rumination and anxiety , as I’m always looking to Add to my tool box . Thanks 🙏
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
