You will get through this and have a beautiful life don’t worry!
@Iloverowdy12 Hopefully is so guilty that I been wasting it but one thing is I didn’t pick ocd sadly
@Monii Nope none of is did it just the hand we were dealt with in this life I promise things will get better even if they don’t seem like that now
@Iloverowdy12 Hopefully the last 2 years I been stuck badly I need to get out of this ocd cycle
I always wonder if that one thought that started it all didn’t happen how alot of things would have been different it’s sad but we can do it
@hunnvenus Very sad and depressing why did we got picked to have this terrible disorder I meant people have worse things but still
Well I can tell you I've suffered with OCD since the age of 7.....I still remember my first intrusive thoughts like it was yesterday.....it turned my life on its head....not a day since has been OCD free, I was well past believing anything could really help .....I'm 58 and have been treated for the last year by an NOCD therapist, and my life is finally changing....for the first time I am starting to feel like I always should have, so I would say there is real hope for anyone with this illness.
@Garrett Maguire Me too since 7 I remember Exactly everything I remember getting thoughts that I was about to have a heart attack and going to my mom crying to help me and she used to said what’s wrong with you ? that’s no gonna happen but I still feel anxious nothing took that anxiety away since then I m 30 now and still suffer daily is a no ending bottle I always wish there’s was a magic fix for this is no fair we have to survive everyday and no live I m so happy for you that the therapist is helping you definitely needed it if you don’t mind asking what’s helping you therapy alone or with medication?
@Monii Therapy, I never found medication to really help me very much.
@Garrett Maguire That’s fantastic congratulations
This feels so real right now. Objectively I know I have so many great things in my life but I’m having the hardest time feeling gratitude or enjoyment for those things and it breaks my heart
@llm31 Yes is so hard being positive having gratitude while going through ocd is hard to enjoy life in general
I point I would make, is that I always felt that the problem, was the illness itself, that I had no control over it......but the truth is,... that it is our actions,....that keep the illness going, it only stays strong because we choose to continue with compulsions....which is within our control to stop.....not easy for sure, but we do have the power to take away OCDs control over our lives. It's that realisation and our willingness to act on it and nothing else I believe, that can make us better.
@Garrett Maguire Yes that is so true the compulsion are what ocd feed of i have so many compulsion that I didn’t even realize I had and is hard to cut them I m trying to cut them little by little because all at once cause bad anxiety and panic attack is so hard but it feel so much better when I don’t do a compulsion is all about staying strong how you said
I'm sry if this may make people worry or feel uncomfortable in advance! Hello everyone as u can see I struggle with ocd and I HATE IT WITH MY LIFE , it started in 2020 covid obv contamination ocd started here , I used to carry alcohol everywhere and used to wash my hands so much that it bled ( had to wear gloves to cover it so friends or family won't see it ) and everything else started since then , harm ocd with myself or friends I couldn't hold a knife..it was really hard..and I have unwanted sexual thoughts ocd , I have panic attacks bc of this..I sometimes cannot look people into their eyes and its so random and so scary..thoughts about.. 🍇..whether it's me or I'm gonna harm someone else uk..I sometimes cannot function properly.. unfortunately friends don't understand it rather think it's about " perfectionism "..I wrote those thoughts and stuff in a journal in more details ofc and doodle ( I'm scared someone will find it ) I hate myself tbh and I don't think someone will read this... I suspect I have ADHD with all this but ocd is " ur faking it " even though lots of people have hinted about it , I thought I actually killed someone for 2 years a girl..until I realized what HOCD is , I thought I faked my ocd too in fact , I have perfectionism ocd too it's bad and I HATE PURE O it's so DRAINING uk.. also idk if this has caused a problem for anyone but if y'all know the Truman show ( basically if u don't know the main character is being filmed and his life is fake and he doesn't know it ) THAT MOVIE HAS HARMED ME SO BADLY FOR YEARS that until today I have to check in the bathroom if there are cameras cuz like ocd makes me think I'm living in a fake world , I used to think people around me , everyone was like a Ai model or smth.. everytime until today I have to clean the toilet seat bc it may be dirty..I have been taking up to 5 showers a day cuz maybe I'm dirty..that's it for today tysm if u read this till the end I'd like to know ur thoughts if u got tips or have similar experiences ! 🤗 U get a chocolate bar 🍫 bc u earned it bc ik how ocd is so frustrating ( I also noticed everyone who has ocd is so nice right 😆! )
I’m so sad all the time and struggle with s*icidal ideation because of my ocd,I think about it all the time I’m in so much pain and therapy isn’t helping.
So I recently met this girl and honestly she is amazing. She’s beautiful and her personality is perfect. She lives only 15 min away from me and I feel blessed to have a chance to get to know her, we both feel the same. But here comes OCD to ruin it. My OCD has latched onto a friend of mine. He’s a pretty close friend and we talk often. He’s never really one to let out a laugh so I always like to hear him laugh and just be able to have a good time. Partially it’s because I just don’t want to think I’m annoying and unfunny, I’m pretty self concious about myself. OCD is turning this into some sort of scary what if I like him question. I don’t have romantic feelings for my friend and I don’t actually want to be with a man. I am a straight male and getting to know this girl has been a blessing. OCD makes me feel in denial and as if I’m lying to myself. I hate this. It feels awful, when I haven’t felt this way about a girl in a long time
