I’m deleting the app. I can’t keep doing what I’ve been doing. If there is something horribly wrong with me I need to stop posting about it daily, and if it really is OCD this app isn’t helping me either.
I know ocd is hard . To help with ocd I recommend researching physical and mental compulsions and how to stop doing them and exposer response. I know ocd can feel like there is no escape and like you will never get better but that is not true ocd is tricky. Please try not feel shame for your ocd .ocd or dark thoughts do not make you a bad person , ocd makes you a person with a fear disorder. Worrying if you have ocd or not is sadly normal part of ocd. My ocd years ago made me think I was a horrible monster that wanted to kill my family. I was able to over come that part of my ocd. My ocd started scaring me I want to hurt myself about 3 months ago so I am now work on my ocd again. Ocd really sucks ,I have had many sleepless nights because of it. But you and I can heal from ocd , just keep working on it , it takes time but you can do it.
I sought reassurance from my therapist about whether or not I had OCD, she laughed and said that this was very common, that OCD patients doubted their own diagnoses. At the end of the session she was going over with me all the symptoms I had and which she used to evaluate my case and finally give me the diagnosis: it really was OCD and deep down I knew that, but sometimes it is very confusing to separate our thoughts from reality. I hope you are well and are able to find the peace you have been seeking, good luck on your journey.
I feel like having the app is kind of keeping me stuck. I stopped doing therapy after my therapist left abruptly, but I like having the community here. I would feel like I’m abandoning y’all, but it might be better for my mental health? I’m just not sure. I feel like deleting is giving in somehow, but I can always redownload. For the friends I’ve made on here, just know that if I go, I still very much care about you and your wellbeing and recovery! ❤️
i swear I’m either schizophrenic or my ocd is just THIS bad. my phone has been acting weird, like my screen turns black and then it’ll turn back on to where i was (i guess it freezes?) when that happens i immediately panic. my head tells me that my phone is acting like that because im being watched and the police will show up to my house. i had a lot of screenshots on my phone from social media, it was like outfit ideas (outfits on other people, influencers) I went through and deleted all those photos, i feel like they looked bad/suspicious.
I feel so horrible and sad right now. I’ve been posting about what I’m going through on my other account but no one comments or reacts. I’ve posted many times yet no one bothers to respond. I feel so terrible. I want to cry because I feel like I’m already too far gone, beyond forgiveness. I want to delete this app, but if I do, I’ll have no one to share with when I'm really having a hard time to deal with my ocd. I have no one who understands my ocd except the people on this app but it hurts me that no one replies anymore. I’m so sorry for posting something like this. I’m just sharing what I really feel. I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. I feel like I'm about to go insane. Sometimes I feel like it's not my ocd anymore because no one responds to my posts. Honestly, I really feel like I don't have ocd anymore especially because I'm undiagnosed. It makes me feel like I’m the most cruel person in the world, someone who doesn’t deserve love or forgiveness. I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone. I know that you are all struggling too. I truly hope you all get better. 💗
